Spain is in town going through the COVID protocols. He should be allowed in the facility Friday and expect an announcement of signing then. He would be available to play Sunday, but you have to imagine that's in case of emergency since he's just getting in the building. https://t.co/jHDjiqDe71

Last year, offense only put up 25+ points just twice, and it was just the last two games of the season.
This year, they've achieved that mark 4 times, and I would expect they'll hit it at least a few more.

For defense, they allowed 25+ points seven times last year.
This year, they have allowed that to happen five times already with nine games remaining.

Offense has shown they can put up enough points to win games. They just need to keep the opposition from doing the same.

I wonder what the staff has planned after the bye week. Spain and XSF should be available, would either of them start over Jordan? I would prefer he go to the bench to develop from there and compete for a starting spot next year, but there’s the possibility that stunts his growth. For this current season though, just for Borrow’s sake, I think if everybody is healthy the best line going forward is Williams - Spain/XSF - Hopkins - Spain/XSF - Hart.

(10-29-2020, 10:31 AM)Yojimbo Wrote: I know. That’s why I said it could stunt his growth because there has been improvement recently. But my question is, is it good enough to protect the future of the franchise or would it be better to have a veteran in there for the rest of season because Jordan has only had one really good game, the Browns.
