Potentially a not very good week to be facing Trevor Lawrence after significant losses at corner. Lawrence has been red hot, even making Zay Jones into a relevant looking NFL wide receiver. Evan Engram had the game of his life last week which I doubt can be duplicated, but warrants attention anyways. But Travis Etienne's health is always in question, and their defense bends and is definately a candidate to break. I'm seeing this as a back and forth affair; similar to last week's game in many ways except for a higher scoring affair. Dallas pulls it out late 34-31, and if I get to watch it I might run out of beer...

We better not be lookin past these guys to Philly. Or these guys'll beat us.

2nd week in a row we're facing a coach who knows how to game plan.

I hope so, but I don't see it.

I see an ugly loss and the game probably won't be close. I think we lose 34-14

Lawrence may throw for 350-400 yards and I bet we get zero sacks again, he can also really hurt you with his legs (assuming he's healthy enough to run, he got dinged pretty good two weeks ago in Detroit)

After the way they've played for the vast majority of the past 3 games, I don't see how they can be looking past anyone.

I mean, had they played ANYONE other than the worst team in the league last week they'd have been run out of the stadium. That was one of the most embarrassing games I've ever seen.

We're losing this week. Take it to the bank.

I watched a lot of clips of this guy and do remember him from Clemson. Gotta say I am a little surprised he was just out and out released. Maybe there's some off field or personal life stuff going on that we don't know about but his game clips are pretty good. Makes a lot of plays on the ball.

His first two seasons he recorded 24 passes defensed (10 & 14) picked off 3 passes and made close to 120 tackles. Was injured some his 3rd yr but had similar numbers in the 5 starts he made. Supposedly Oakland traded him to Cards because they were changing schemes but I have no idea why the Cards didnt like him. Maybe Mullen hated it there or something. 28 passes defensed in 31 starts is really solid.
