two unrelated topics that struck me today:

 

1) Charles Johnson is still playing hard even if he hasnt gotten a sack yet. our ESPN beat writer wrote a pretty goot article this morning about Johnson that gives me hope he will rebound:

CJ has been doubled teamed most of the time, and has started slow in the past en route to a career season. He is coming off a hamstring injury that had him sidelined all through camp. i am not worried about him. he'll rebound.

 

2) for all the injuries we've had lately, the only players listed on the injury report as of yesterday were Stewart, Tolbert, and Davis. yes, these guys are integral parts of our team. But can their absence be made up for at least in part? yes i think so, with the exception of Stewart. what do you all think? i would elaborate more but i have to get to class

I kind of figured with Hardy out that CJ will suffer a little. I really haven't been paying attention to see if he has been getting doubled so I really can't comment on it. When does Frank come back? I am not saying he is Hardy but he will help nonetheless. Notice Addison is getting is sack total up so somebody is getting doubled.

Yeah CJ just doesn't seem to be playing with the same motor that he usually does and his patented bull rush doesn't seem to be nearly as effective.  He did miss some time though so hopefully he gets back in the groove soon.  I really hope Ealy can get it going soon as well.  His lack of playing time is disconcerting.  This said, I really only give defense the blame for giving up 23 points against the Steelers. 

 

I think our biggest problems are on offense.

Thomas Davis is a HUGE blow. TD and Luke cover a lot of ground. Blow to both the run and pass D.
