If you could walk into week 11 vs the Chiefs with a 4-5 or 5-4 record... and a healthy Herbert... would you do it?
Week 3: JAX: a winnable game, even with Daniel. W (2-1)
Week 4: @HOU: another winnable game with Daniel. L (2-2)
Week 5: @CLE: winnable. L (2-3) Week 6: Den: winnable. L (2-4)
Week 7: Sea: more than winnable. W (3-4)
Week 8: Bye
Week 9: @ATL. Herbert now has 6 weeks rest. W (4-4)
Week 10 @SF. I'd actually sit Herbert against SF defense. We'd still win. W (5-4)
Staley has preached being physical. The defense certainly has been. The jury is no longer out on the defense. This defense would punish most of these pedestrian offenses. You want to be physical on offense...? Run the damn ball more! This offensive line could be physical. This RB position is deep... and can catch the ball in an already dink-and-dunk scheme.
Quietly, Joshua Kelley has a 5.4 ypc average this year... and Spiller hasn't even touched the ball yet.
Practice what you preach, Brandon. It's time to get physical. Lean on your OL and RB's.
The goal is to have Herbert healthy come playoff time. Give him his best shot @revenge Week 11.
