I've always liked the Giants' Brandon Jacobs,

We always play down, or up to the level of competition

Or that’s what it seems like to me. It doesn’t matter how good or bad the team is, a Broncos game always seem to be close.

Predictions before the season began: 11-5 and a top five offense (I was probably too conservative).

just did something beautiful for the Dolphins…he went down on one knee to hold Jeremy Newberry and Mike Goff in place so that his back could tackle LT for no gain. That’s right, he just STOPPED 626 lbs of offensive lineman to keep his backers free! I want that….

17-3 at the half.
Could we take some ideas from there defense?
They are playing man (not frickin’ zone) against the receivers and taking away Rivers options.
If we played man, it would give our D front more time to get pressure and put some pressure on the QB.
Makes too much sense doesn’t it.

though when DRobs out, we don’t have enough personnel to run either set, so I leant towards getting more backers on the field…. and than that just encourages teams to run on us….
