    Sucks but O'Brien has played pretty good when he is in

    He's been solid as a replacement for Psalm. No way he's big enough to fill the other edge. I can't imagine they'd put Psalm and O'Brien on the field together often.
    Helps having 3 guys on the DL 320+. Mathis has been killing it, but I'm not even worried. Plug and play. O'Brien is actually good, at least so far.

    They can both rush the passer. I'd prefer to have at least one with a little weight for the run game. Gotta admit the mick looks pretty good though.

    Disagree. Yes, it helps to have the interior guys, but Mathis plays a different position and brings an element that they can't.

    Yesterday our pass rush was not very good...at all. Luckily it was only the beavers.

    Connor O'Brien? He's been ok, but is nowhere near the athlete that Mathis is. To me it's not much different when burr-kirven replaces bierria.

    This hurts.

    I mostly agree, but O'Brien has played well. They have other guys to rotate in. Mathis is good. I don't think he's indispensable. Obviously we are better with Mathis.

    Are we the only team in the country that returns from after a bye more injured than going into it?

    I blame @SpoonieLuv
