TRich is a monster in the redzone.

I love how this team is built. OTs could be better, but they are ball control offense with a smothering defense.

Reminds me a bunch of Saban's early Bama teams.

Couldn't catch the second half, sounds like Trent had a nice day overall. Anyone have a stat line?

17 for 46 and 3 TDs.

He runs hard, but a lot of the time its into another player at or behind the line. He really comes alive in the red zone though, imposes his will.

That, and dump off passes are his best work. Perez barely missed him on a swing pass that would have easily went for 40+.

Leads the league in rushing TDs. Conversely, Perez hasn't thrown a single TD. Not saying he hasn't played well, as he has been effective.

Need more juice at RB, Perkins or Isaac hasn't been a big play threat behind Trent...

The line hasn't helped Trent very much.

They talk up the interior as the strength, but it's not saying too much.

Dom Jackson still looks like he's on skates out there against passrushers. Greene hasn't been much better, unfortunately...

This is it. The O-Line may be the weakest unit on the team.

Do you mean either 2 point conversion?

He still hasn't tossed a TD pass this season...

I really enjoy the games but the roughing the passer call on Birmingham worried me. It was too much like one of those weak NFL calls.

Trent easily leads the league in broken tackles and averages less than 3 yards a carry....Thats all you need to know. He is getting hit behind the line on most plays.

Hassanauer is the only somewhat decent lineman we have IMO.

Any way for a player to improve vision?

not having DL in the offensive backfield helps, but I remember Trent in the NFL and there were plenty of times when there was no one in front of him as he picked he hole. Think his confidence that he could run over or thru anyone was a bit of his downfall. Instead of running for daylight, he would run for the hole the play was designed for regardless if it was covered by big ole DT's and LB's

Team is looking good for the playoffs. With 7 games left they are 3-0 and all they have to do is finish ahead of 0-3 Atlanta and Memphis.

whats the point of good vision if you're getting hit a nanosecond after you get the ball, smh. i was fired up about the ol being mostly bama guys. until i seen they cant run block unless they're near the goal line.

vision is greatly impaired when the ball being handed off is accompanied with 2 or 3 defensive players.

OL isnt great, but Trent has definitely lost the benefit of the doubt in his NFL years.

Countless instances he refuses to read and just tries to be the best athlete on the field. Worked in college because often time he was, but NFL was much more equal in talent...
