ESPN the Mag Tries to Give Us Credit

They miss a good bit of information but at least they tried. Some highlights:

That's the Texans.

You have got to be kidding me. There are plenty of reasons to argue that Collins is a better fit for the team, but that is not one. 6% on such a small sample size is a small difference, VY is only in his 3rd year, and Collins has actually played with real WRs. Give me a break. We won't even throw it deep much.

They do mention Finny as one of the reasons we are doing so well, but they should not make stupid arguments like these. If you are going to jump on the bandwagon, you might as well get the facts right.

 

Jeremy Green named him as the defensive surprise of the year thus far. He made smart a** comment about how he learned the technique, and that's why he's exploding.

He already has a 180 tackles. That's a ton for a third year corner, expecially one who has only started for a little over a year.

 

Yep. that was them. They have a few guys (I always thought Clayton is one of the better sportscasters) who are worth listening to. The rest is just filler. They do have the advantage of being able to swarm on anything (TO, PacMan, etc.) but they rarely do any real work.

 

Mort is good as well. Smith is OK.

Want to know what Mort, Clayton, and Jaws have in common? They're old hires. They can't hire anyone good nowadays.

 

Really? I had always heard of us as a man blocking team. Frankly, I never stopped to watch for myself. :grrhee: Still, they should have made that clear.
