Posted on 12. Nov, 2009 by Mike.
Earlier this week I wrote about my two biggest concerns for this team, one of which dealt with the linebackers. It seems as though the secondary has taken it upon themselves this week to try and match the issues the linebackers are having. All in one day, Ellis Hobbs was placed on injured [...]
