Looks like So'Oto is gonna play this week.  Should be exciting to see. The biggest hole on this team is pass rush. HOPEFULLY, he can get some pressure. Remember, the Chiefs kept their starters in late in the last preseason game, and So'Oto looked very good in that game.
We all saw what Zombo did in his rookie year. Maybe So'Oto can do something similar. Only provide a pass rush. We shall see. He's raw, but he's got potential, imo.

Wasn't So'oto active for one game earlier this season? I think he was, but he didn't play any meaningful snaps. Anyway, from what I've heard, he will just be used for special teams against the Vikings, but I hope that's wrong. I want to see him rush the passer. He looked very good in the preseason, and it wasn't just against the Chiefs.

maybe they give him time with Walden and with Ponder playing it could be a big day for the d-line.

I'd contend that pass coverage has been the weakest link so far, but that's beside the point. Looking forward to seeing if So'oto can replicate that playmaking ability he showed in preseason.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

I don't think so. I think it is predominantly due to pass rush. Sure, there has been coverage break downs and they need to be fixed, but a great pass rush would mask many of those break downs for sure. I feel as if it's easier for a pass rush to mask coverage break downs than coverage to make up for a lack of pressure.

I agree. I think the pass rush has been a bit lacking overall this season. It's not terrible, but it's not up to the high standards of this defense. They've really missed Cullen Jenkins. I think Neal would be an adequate replacement if he was healthy, but he's not. Walden and Wynn are okay, but they can't make up for Jenkins either. So'oto looks like a more dynamic player who may be able to fill that role.

beast (2h) : Martha? 😋
Zero2Cool (6h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
dfosterf (8h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
beast (10h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?
