He is anything but boring on the field.

He'll be tested each game. So far he's looked impressive.

I wish Ellerbe would just stay healthy. Our D looks totally different when he is out there. Next year if we get our dome field advantage back we be back in the Super Bowl hunt. I don't have much hope for this season but I love what I'm seeing. Still a small chance this year but those dirty terds keep F$%%@#! winning.

Nice. Add in the rotation of T Davison as well. He doesn't get a lot of fanfare in the trenches but he has played exceptionally well this year.

I think he's the biggest factor in our run defense improvement. That's why I included our run defense ranking because he's doing the dirty work and doing it tremendously well. We have something special here with Fairley, Rankins, Davison and Onyemata rotating.
