For several seasons I have hypothesized that Shaw's offensive ineptitude leads to increased injuries on the defense.  This game appears to be supporting this.

Silly season is upon us.  The defense routinely faces fewer offensive plays than most other teams because of our ball control offense.  Then there is the fact that, mostly, we have not had an inept offense, though today it surely has been.

you'll say just about anything to defend "your man".  Go back the the Ben Gardner injury.  Those games should have been blowouts but Shaw turtled and our starters had to play close games to the gun.
