IIRC Vant started when we played BC, and on Bett's side.  Betts & those moster DTs aren't slouches.  I think Vant will kill it at LG if we start him in BB.

Then why was he taking the second arm off the ball to cushion his fall?  3 guys mugging him, legs encircled, and an experienced league-top-$ RB thinks that's a smart move?

Again, look at how Oullette hugs that rock.  Every run, all run.

I'm not what your obsession with Oulette is. He's having the best season of his career and he isn't even really on pace with Brady on a per game basis.
My wife is amazing!

I'm not obsessed with Oullette.  I actually hate him more than anyone.  I have a pile of names lined up I'd rather type than that monstrosity that is his real last name but I've been banned from doing it here.  So I won't.

Oullette just makes a great illustration of how a RB being tackled is supposed to hold the ball, because we saw him do it all this game.  I could likewise use Mills, or any other RB that doesn't cough it up in a LDC.

My beef is with Brady's fumble.  It was dumb, pointless, and unnecessary.  I think it was the TSN turning point.  Maybe I'm the only one who slow-mo'd it, so maybe I'm the only one sick to my stomach that all he had to do was wrap that 2nd arm around it when the heat was coming in and we likely win that game, where our team was every bit as good as the green goblins.

My hatred of Oullette doesn't stop me from admiring his ball security skills and mindset, nor does it deter me from admonishing Brady.
