It can take some time to recover from it.

Hopefully he’ll be sharp against the Kitties.

Most of those were by linebackers and defensive backs, with the front three taking up blockers. That’s a good afternoon’s work, by anyone’s standards. And that should have been reflected especially in the grades for the linebackers and front three.

He is too important to this team for it to succeed when he is less than his best. I hope this is a temporary thing but I suspect it is evidence of his aging. He is still relatively young but he had a lot of mileage and it may be that the wheels may be getting ready to fall off.

I feel sorry for D-Will. I think he stepped up big time for this team. I hope the injury is minor. Like Ben, I don’t see this team having a lot of success with out him being healthy.

This is a 10-6 team with a lot of upside but depth at many positions is still paper thin and the secondary needs work. They might be scary in the playoffs but unless they play differently against the Bengals, it will be the off season for them pretty soon.

I’d give BB a little better grade. Yeah, it was the Browns and he wasn’t super sharp, but without Deangelo, there was no running game. I give him B-/C+.

With Ben, we have a shot of moving on. He needs to be sharper, needs to spread it around a little more. I’m not sure we can win without Deangelo. But hell, we’re dancing and have a punchers chance, quite a bit more than I thought we would get. Stranger things have happened.
