Banged up OL didn't help at all, especially after Greene went down again(he was planting with a stiff leg anyway).

It's 4 games in, teams have keyed in on the Iron offense. There is a lack of big plays from it, and Perez is a part of the problem. Statistically the worst pass D in the league forced him to throw, and he couldn't deliver consistently.

And don't care what anyone says, playing Ross over Trent was a step in the right direction. The fumble was a killer, but he brought a big play threat that the Iron is looking for.

Trent is deadly in the red zone, but they have to get down there first...

Perez doesn't seem to have much arm strength. The line being hurt didn't help, but he was making poor decisions all day.

Ross definitely should be the starting RB,Use Ricahrdson inside the 5.

We need playmakers, I would like for us to sign Ardarius Stewart. He is better than any skill player we got

I really thought they should have played Blake Sims today. Since the OLine was injured, his scrambling would have helped

He's 3rd string behind forner Washington QB Keith Price. Perez is smart but he doesnt physically have it IMO. Sims and Price have much stronger arms.

I think he has been a healthy scratch the last 2 weeks. We got a shitton of injuries.

Yeah, Price got a snap week 1.

I would like the Iron to look themselves in the mirror at QB. Perez is good at managing a lead, but playing from behind isn't his strong suit. He has the longest TD drought in the league by a large margin.

Next week is a HUGE game, they have to be ready to duke it out with Orlando. As great as the secondary is, don't think they can keep Spurrier off the board.

Is it just me or does Everyone else skill players look so much more dynamic than ours.

Patton is solid, they just need to get the ball in his hands. After him; Washinton, Palmer, and Felton don't really stand out.

I'm excited for Wes Saxton, I was a fan when he came out a few years back. He's been with the team for only 2 weeks, so his usage should only rise.

The D is legit, but they need a QB that can get the ball out faster and push it down field.

What is he doing? Seems like he fell off the map after getting suspended for only like 2 games

I dont think he is currently on an NFL team. Would be perfect for the Iron.

Trent just had a replay of that play in Oakland. Huge hole and he ran the opposite way.

Trent has zero field vision. He wouldn’t be able to play football if it weren’t for his brute strength.
