Not fair to expect results when he's out of position.

DeMario was actually tied for the lead in TOTAL tackles this past week with nine (3 solo, 6 assists). Klein also had nine total tackles, a bit more impressive with 6 solo and 3 assists. Both of those LB's had a pretty solid game and because of that the defense looked much better.

DD has a solid game playing at a different spot ... again. Very encouraging to see he had good numbers. Same goes for AJ Klein. Hopefully the trend continues vs Atl.

Yes. The only thing that concerns me are the turnovers. We're sitting at minus three. Turnovers are the most important statistic other than the final score.

3 for 12 on third down.....

We had the same issue in a lot of games last season.

We live or die by the play of Brees. And it shouldn't be that way. Last week he played well and the defense sucked this week he sucked. When will both the offense and defense show up. We better hope soon.

Browns are not a bad team. They can hang with anyone. I think the Jags are probably the most dangerous right now. Man handled the Pats and their passing is starting to look sharp. They don't even need Fournette.
