He constantly gets beat one on one and the extra blocker is free to hit the second level on runs plays and is able to double team other Dlineman on pass situations. Need a 1 tech that can draw the double team which leaves the other lineman isolated in their matchups.

Washington is a good test for Brent and the rest of the DL as I'm sure they will look to run Morris 25 times.

Too late in the season to be hopeful for it, but it's a plus if we can get harder to run on inside the way we're tackling the off-tackle plays the last few weeks.

I

I don't get the Hayden hate. We he lacking in talent he makes up for it in heart. The dude leaves it all on the field
He's not the future, but like him in the present!

effort and $8 buys a cup of coffee and that is about it. Frankly I could care less about how hard a player works if he is a JAG and look in Webster's dictionary under JAG; Hayden has his picture there

Maybe Melton is not really healthy? If he is and they still inactivate him that says a lot.

Red wants "more snaps" for Brent. I am looking forward to seeing him keep our LBs clean v. Skins and shut Morris down.

Let Brent play a full game to see if he can handle it, or minimally a half... We need to see how he will help when the " run in the tournament" starts.

What the heck happened to Melton? A few weeks back he was coming on strong, but lately he numbers have been zilch. We need him at his best.

I'm not sure. He has to be hurt. I hope all he needs is rest to come back strong. Although T Crawford has outplayed him, we can still use a veteran former pro bowler in the playoffs in our DL rotation.

Yup. This guy never gets any push told penetration. Too small to demand a double team. I see maybe 1 play a game from him
