This team has talent but has no fight. They all look like they are waiting for someone else to set the tone. The only guy answering the call so far is Spoon.

    Sounds like DK got violent in practice yesterday, so there’s your answer.

    DK said he wasn’t going to step down the violence so bit of an odd question this.

    What I’m getring here is that as long as they are good people we will sacrifice physical play

    Who’s the team badass? Who is the enforcer?

    Where are the highlight reel hits and plays? There has been almost 0 this season.

    None of the teams are afraid if anything we do or any particular player on the team.

    Look at the 49ers… they have Greenlawn, hufanga, bosa, debo, kittle. All dudes that like to lay the hammer. They have a guy at every level that likes to smack dudes. We have nothing like that.

    I feel you, but I’m pretty sure this would be the exact type of stuff the NFL is trying to penalize Out of existence

      So what. Take the 15 yarder and send the message. The guys I listed didn’t care.

    We need to improve our run blocking and be more dangerous from the slot. Answer: Put DK or Bobo in the slot and move JSN out wide. We’ll instantly be tougher, have a better short-yard target, and have more effectiveness in our run/pass audibles.

    The defense is good once we start using 3-man fronts and figure out the best replacement for Nwosu.

    Jarring Reed had his teeth knocked out by a O lineman.

    I want our guys to play like that. Part of it is we abandon the run game early. Cross isn’t a mauler, Lewis is hurt all the time and whifs on blocks. Brown seems ok but not aggressive but you can’t be overly at his spot anyways. Bradford is solid and ao is Lucas but he has knee problems that sound like arthritis.

    Jamal is one of the only guys on the team willing to hit anyone and that’s why he’s always hurt. That’s the job of the 6’ 250lb+ linebackers. We can’t be depending on a injury prone safty and the smallest guy on the team to be the tone setters. They will always be hurt if nobody else will step up and do it.

    Not trying to watch Spoon end up like Jamal because nobody else wants to hit hard.

    Field full of huge dudes watching the smallest guy on the team kick ass for them.

    Plenty of hate on here about my take but I don’t see a single person pointing to a player on our team known for hitting outside of the rookie corner and the always hurt Jamal.

    Who’s the hammer? Point me to a play where someone got rocked please.

    Dudes crossing the middle on us all fucking day. Nobody is scared to because nobody on our team will make them pay for it.

    You don’t think those dudes aren’t hitting? Jamal can’t get through a season 'cause he can’t stop himself from being a heat missle. Witherspoon, Jaran Reed? Ballers!

    I assume this is a reaction to the Raven game. Teams have these games. I chalk it up to maybe a combo of factors. Maybe a team feeling a bit too big in the britches about recent success going up against elite competition, and maybe not adjusting to the east coast playing for the first time in a long time with the inexperience of a young team.

    Chill dude, these guys lay their bodies on the line. Not everybody can be Kam, and even he cut his career short for the over the top violent way he played.
