One defensive player on the three deep, that is a first.

I don’t understand the disrespect that Makai Jackson gets (not from us fans obviously). He is our best receiver. Hopefully others outside of App don’t see this message!

[BeauFoster]

How long has it been since we didn’t have a 1st or 2nd team LB? Not that I can remember in the last 15-20 years.

Ironic, that's what i said was missing all year. The missile that would come out of no where for a stop either 20 yards downfield on a TE or in the backfield was missing. Poor angles, poor tackling, poor speed.
