There is more to it than just a play here or there. A player like Kyle near the end of his career affects games differently than that. Today was a good example...
Matt Hasselbach said it on the pregame show. I hope it's true too. He said it is Gronk's own fault that he missed the incentives because of the suspension
They were talking about some on the pregame show this morning. Several guys like Thielen who needs 5 catches for $250K, Clayborn from ATL who needs a half sack for big money, etc...
My favorite was Gronkowski who supposedly has $5.5 mil in incentives on the table. He only has a chance of hitting 2 for $2 million (number of receptions and percentage of playing time) but will likely miss both because of his one game suspension. I LOVE karma.
My guess is Allen climbs up the charts throughout the off season and ends up in the top 10 on day one. He will be like Flacco who was originally projected as a third rounder and then shot up the board after the season ended.
I disagree that it is Kyle's fault. Blame it on a combo of scheme, personnel, coaching etc. and with that KW certainly shares the blame but to blame it all on him or claim he is not criticized his fair share, does not seem accurate to me.
How much less CAN you care? Does that mean you currently care a lot?
why would a rushing title for one of our best players be hollow? It would almost definitely mean we won the game which gets us one step closer to the play offs.
I don't agree with the OP's conjecture. I think this Defense would run through a brick wall for KW. He was never the most physically gifted player on the field but he has always made the most of what he has.
I don't believe anyone has mistaken the respect he has been given by the fans, media and other teams for being sheltered or coddled.
That IS cool. I love that he even has a shot at this. I get it is a long shot, but it is possible. There is also a chance that he may have a bonus riding on leading the league in rushing, in which case the entire offense will do their best to help him get there.
How close is he to number one in total yards from scrimmage?
You get disability for Aspergers? I thought that was something you could function fully with. Feel free to PM your response if you don't want to answer publicly.
