Your no-holds-barred Internet realism is getting me aroused.

Plus one for internet arousal caused by The Cardboard.  More signal, less noise is always better for internet arousal.  ;)

Quote:The broadcast crew pointed out that on his early inside run, he missed a (easy)cut through an opening upfield and sort of plowed into his own blocker trying to cut outside.  One play, but one of several over the games so far.  Not sure this is a critique of Sanders, or just an observation that none of our RBs plays enough with the unit to develop timing and instincts.

It wasn't Sanders.  They made a comment somewhat like that about Young early in the second quarter, and they made critical remarks about Wright later in the second half.  Cannot find such comments about Sanders.

Also, I had thought Sanders had gotten his first start in this game, but looking through again I see that Wright was in for the first play.
