Our Defense Looked Bad And The O-Line Struggled

[BFritz21]

Those two things do have me worried a bit, and I agree that they normally might be a cause for concern.

However, remember that we get Burfict, the heart of our defense and one of our best playmakers on D (maybe THE best), back from suspension this week, and we also get Price and Mixon back (probably for both).

The importance of Mixon can't be understated because he'll bring balance back to our offense, keep defenses honest, keep our defense rested with more of a running clock, and provide an explosiveness out of our backfield. Without Dalton's two scrambles, we only had 21 rushes, which is unacceptable, especially since one was Erickson.

Price coming back will also help with that, but we need Glenn to play better because he sucked today. The good thing is that I trust Pollack to offer help with chips or Mixon staying in to block/check before he goes out on a route.

I realize that Glenn won't face Beasley every week, but today still worried me. Glenn seemed ok when Beasley went head-on with him or tried to go inside, but when he went at Glenn's outside shoulder with a speed rush, he seemed to get to Dalton every time.

These guys could bring a new feeling of confidence coming off this impressive win and carry our team to more wins!

I'm PUMPED!
