That sounds weird just saying that.

Agree. If that's the case, wouldn't mind seeing them give that new kid some snaps. I mean....why not?

Don't think today's game will be an issue for the D. Whether or not the O can get to 17 will likely be the key. I.E....rinse and repeat.

I LOVE scoring the first touchdown of a Sunday. It seems like forever since I've been able to remind everyone of this.

Tannehill (or, as McClain calls him, Tannyhill) is a total idiot.
