Breaking News: Illinois isn’t good.

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

On a positive note, D-line and LBs look good

 

[lo country]

And what about the night-and-day difference in Martinez? 
 

Yeah…I’m not buying anything sold so far. 

Nothing is as advertised thus far.  However run D looks solid and ILB play is good.

 

[Hammerhead]

Pros so far: Run defense is getting stops

Cons: Everything else

 

[Micheal]

Blackshirt defensive front doing real good! 

 

[mwj98]

Finally!!

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

That's what we so desperately need! An actual pass rush!

 

[ndobney]

he does that almost every time

I think he is making the decision where the ball is going before he snaps the ball even on zone reads

 

[OmahaPlaya]

GOT HIS a$$!!!

 

[lo country]

PAYNE bringing the pain

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Great play defense!  :cowbell:

 

[LumberJackSker]

What the f#&% was that?

 

[mwj98]

Holy smokes

 

[Micheal]

What is he doing??????

Major (Payne) with the sack. Could be a good year for the dude. I like him
