Sitting down and starting to "break down the film", also known as watching the game not drunk off my shit.

Seattle's first drive, Jesus Christ, McClain is a fucking stiff.

Why is he starting over Thornton?
Yeah I rewatched it, Collins looked solid out there but McClain was terrible. Slow off the ball and he would get driven backwards. I don't see anything out of him to suggest he belongs.

I cannot rationalize why he is so valued.

Must be the black version of Nick Hayden.

Old Man Marinelli must give brownie points out big time.

It did remind me of Hayden. Big looking guy who didn't play big at all nor did he play athletic. Maybe he looks good during practice in one on one drills or something but clearly it doesn't translate to real games.

What is worse is that he "grades out well".

That shit gets you Nick Hayden starting for three fucking years.

Mclain was not terrible he consistently was in the backfield.

I really don't know what you two were watching.

And yes I went back and watched the film.:unsure

Broaddus also said McClain played well.
He said played the best of our DL. And that ain't that hard.

Like I said before, he's the black Hayden. Ineffective, but keeps getting credit.

We have had such bad play at that position, even pedestrian work gets noticed.

I thought Pam Oliver was leaving the sideline reporter gig. She's still working the sidelines for FOX in this Minnesota-SD game.

Bridgewater put the Madden juke on 'ol boy. Picked up about 25 yards.

And I strongly disagree after I rewatched the game and paid specific attention to him.
