I think this is a HUGE blow to them. I really hope Mr Smiley is okay as we are looking at incredible to absolutely OWN the line of scrimmage. Jammer and Co are gonna get tired of contact with Ricky and Ronnie me thinks.
I was hoping that LT would play.We have done well holding him in check when we play them.I'm more scared of Sproles quickness and allusiveness. By the time Channing takes the wrong step Sproles will be gone,IMO. Another big test this weekend for the D.
Sproles is also very hard to see out of the back field as I said before bro. That gives him a big edge when he hits the hole.
Wow, losing a NT and an ILB would be a huge blow to your interior defense, especially facing a team that runs well. Before the season I had this one marked as a probable loss due to the short week and the long trip for us but their growing injury list does not bode well for them.
True, but with LT already listed as out, we can now game plan for Sproles exclusively (RB wise that is). Advantage Dolphins I would think.
Not to mention the knock on sproles is his durability as the game goes on. If we get some good licks on him early, and without L T taking the majority of the snaps, this is another huge advantage to us.
Brother Kenny Sproles is durable alright, however his frame is not made to carry the load for a whole game on a constant basis. We just need to make sure we wrap him up when we tackle him first.
Someone go down to Davie and put stickem all over the defenses gloves because they're going to need it to keep hold of Sproles.
Of course yes, and good point. That is really what I was eluding to. Thanks for clarifying brother. He is plain and simply a small guy. He has never been asked or been able to carry an entire game by himself. I am not as worried about wrapping him up as just touching him in the first place. That is one quick, elusive dude. I think the power of our Safeties helps in this situation still. The only way to slow him down is get a couple of good licks in on him.
Run some more outside wildcat runs with Ricky at Cromartie. I want to watch Cro just stand and stare at him go by again.
