    Watching NFL insiders this morning they asked why Tomlin still starts Blake and why Boykin only comes off the bench. Blake is the 3rd most targeted defensive player in the league and 1st at giving up completions.

    I saw that too, at least Blake isn't playing the whole game anymore. The last few games I think Boykin has played more snaps than Blake :applaud:.

    Guess we will have to wait and see how many times he gets torched. He will. At least Boykin is seeing more playing time.

    And Mac makes a good point about Tomlin. Although I don't think he is trolling the boards to find answers. The answers are in the numbers, and for some reason unknown to man or beast why Blake is starting is still a mystery.

    He is very loyal to certain players even when performance dictates a change is warranted. What can you do, I guess..
