    Nah just saving himself for grudge matches on Dec 13 and 27 with Carrot Top and Flaccid. Here's to hoping he's not injured or just wearing down.

    If so than they all are because nobody else is doing much either.

    Oaklands Offensive Line kept Carr very clean and upright through 3 1/2 quarters. James wasn't the only one out there not getting pressure. The Bengals have a very stout OLine as well. James usually dominates the Browns and I expect him to have a much better game.

    Not exactly... James is old, he was just better than the guys we have now when he was in his prime. He's still playing okay ball, but it is a far cry from the player who was basically unblockable for half a decade.

    Father time is undefeated, old age is catching up to Harrison.

    Watching the games I see Deebo as strong as ever, pushing OL as well as ever. His speed is slower but thats expected. If you'll remember Tuitt was out against the Bengals and he still got his hands on dalton....barely... He needs a DL to occupy and or attack OL for help, he can't do it alone.

    Against the raiders Butler tried something new.... he basicslly played only two DL, Heyward & Tuitt and Tuitt just came back fron a knee injury....

    Deebo is fine...... We just need to get back to more DL controlling the LOS and attacking the QB....

    Does he? I recall him having some troubles with Thomas in the past.

    He did dominate that fan a few years back, however. :lolol:

    If he's not producing the sacks, I don't get why Jarvis isn't playing more.

    Good question. Seems like they are rotating all four LB's. I don't have the #'s, but I bet it's pretty equal #'s?

    What happened to Porter saying Harrison was only going to play 25 snaps, I saw a play in the Raiders game they had Harrison drop in coverage :shrug:

    The rotation makes it harder for the other teams to gameplan but it also can affect the guys game flow. I like when they get Dupree and Harrison as the OLB's because that makes them have to decide. Do you single up Heyward, Tuitt or Harrison or try to get dbl teams and a chip on them and let Dupree come free? That is a tough choice

    That's a good combo. This defense is developing some playmakers!

    I guess it would depend on the package TTF, I didn't add in the NT because neither of them are like Heyward and Tuitt, but if they get one on one matchups that means they can collapse the pocket too. It just seems Dupree is reaping the benefits of having teams go ok no way we are letting Harrison near our QB so lets let the rookie try and do something and he is showing why they drafted him

    James was supposed to be on a snap count each game as they were banking on JJ and Bud to help, BUT, and I could be wrong, Bud's snaps have decreased as of late and JJ is , well, JJ , so he may be getting tired?

    Pretty good play for a "retiree"...

    Glad he`s here to push the pocket...

    Yeah, he`s gonna lose a step, if he has to cover a kid 20 years his junior...
    But he will still put the hurt on him, when he catches up to him, esp, if another backer is holding him up..

    Heck, he might even have the vet savvy to knock the ball out...:hehehe::thumbs up::cool:
