our heralded defensive star looks like he has sickle cell anemia.

I chuckled at this. It was shocking the difference in Perkins from this game to last year. Last year he was the best player on the field. Last night he looked lost and had zero flashes of the great athleticism he showed last year.

On one play he almost caught up to the passer but was unintentionally blocked out by his teammate Savion.

The plan to put him at middle linebacker and rarely rush the passer backfired big time. But even when he did rush he was neutralized. Perplexing.
