One needs to contextualize these plays because they don't take place in a vacuum. |

Re: What exactly are we complaining about?
This was our defensive play of the year and I ain't lettin' go of it until we have another one! We're going to do more than fine with Jenkins especially since he won't have to do Patrick's job as well any more.

But that is assuming Usain Bolt on an ideal surface, from starting blocks, wearing spikes for more force to push off WITHOUT being decked in Under Armour gear. |
