His forced fumble yesterday was the biggest play of the game. If it wasn't for that, I'm not entirely sure we ever had a chance at winning. That shifted momentum into our favor. On the year, here are his stats

Obviously, since he plays DT, not everything he does is going to appear on the stat sheet. But as of now, he has 23 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 3 stuffs.

Probably our most consistent defensive lineman this year.

I hope so, I really do. That t Crawford contract is gonna hinder things esp if we try to get some DE help.

I have already post a rundown on the Crawford contract, it won't be a problem. With how the DT market is going to boom here in a year or so, Crawford's contract will look like pennies.

I would not lock up McClain this is the 1st year he was healthy, no more long term reach deals on talent or health.

McClain isn't going to get a massive deal. It will most likely be something reasonable that will have no lasting effects on our salary cap.

This guy has been hurt a lot, and would only do a one year contract.

Again, he won't get anything massive. You could make a reasonable 2-3 year deal on him, that would put him from 29-32.

Nothing he will get, unless Jerry does the contract negotiations while drunk, is going to have any significant impact on our salary cap. It won't even prevent us from looking at other DTs, I'd still look for one in the draft.

He's been playing well and consistent, to bad he'll be gone next year. He actually deserves T Crawfords insanely overpriced contract.
T. Crawford had an outstanding game yesterday. Maybe he has finally put it together after recovering from the injury.

I think he was still suffering from shoulder weakness. One of the players called him the strongest guy in the weight room a year or two ago, and shoulder injuries suck. I can't imagine how it'd be for a professional DL.

Good to see him playing well.
