Claiborne is, by far, better prepared physically and mentally to have his best year. I think his biggest challenge this year will be to withstand the physical punishment that a full season brings. It would surely help his cause to remain injury free throughout the entire season. I don't think there's any question but what his coverage is tighter than it has ever been since he turned pro. Hopefully, that will continue and he'll avoid being overly demanding at contract time.

Excellent view of Mo.

I'm confused, as well, as to why Irving isn't playing more. He seems to cause problems. In the last play in this article he gets nice push and, against a double, he is still getting push and applying pressure.

He needs more PT.

The player I need more of is David Irving. They play him so sparingly, but he flashes every single time. The team was not credited for a sack on Sunday, but I thought when Irving and Mayowa were able to force the fumble from Hoyer, they deserved one. I guess the stat people think that Hoyer just fell and fumbled with no help. I disagree.

It's disconcerting that the fans and media continually point out what needs to happen weeks before the FO finally does exactly what was suggested.

It is puzzling.

I often think they know something I don't. Maybe I'm wrong.

The handwringing should be fun to watch when Mo gets a multi year deal from Jerry

Claiborne still can't tackle.. ducking his head left and right against the Bears.

Limited snaps for sure, but we saw some really nice flashes. Joey posted several of them and it really looks like he has something. Like David Irving, I want to see more.

Bob

Encouraging. Thank you sir
