But this narrative that Kyren is a fumbler is a joke.

Then have a good laugh. And maybe a beer. And enjoy it.

Corner is definitely the weakness, no doubt. Any game the rush has a down day we are gonna give up points. But maybe one of these dudes steps up.

I think Poona Ford is gonna be a much bigger deal than we give him credit for. He’s a fireplug and very hard to move. We’ve hardly talked about him, but wouldn’t surprise me at all to see us in a more traditional 3-4 front or 3-3 nickel to utilize the NT position against the run.

Yes I agree it was an underrated signing. Just based on how that MFer played every time against us in the past, he's gonna help our defense. It's really difficult for OL to focus on Verse or one of these other excellent players we have up front when they have A gap pressure on top of it from Ford. And he's a player who does the work on early downs.
