    Great article on the DL and focuses on Sheldon, Damon, and Wilk. Has a couple gifs, this was my favorite one. Wilk just beats him like a drum.

    Also has a few links to football outsider I recommend checking out. Shows just how GOOD this DL is against the run. It's cool these young stars are getting notice, Wilk should be on his way to Pro Bowl this year

    First line of the article:

    It's up in the air who named the Jets' defensive line of Sheldon Richardson, Damon Harrison, and Muhammad Wilkerson the "Sons of Anarchy,"

    Had to have come from TGG...someone please stand up! You deserve it!

    I think that GIF shown above is more on the tail back. It looks like #77 was protecting the outside thinking the tail back would at least TRY and chip the inside rush.

    Tail Back wanted NO PART of Wilkerson. Hahaha. Can't blame him. Live to play another down!

    Working my way through the article....love this line:

    Running straight at ends might work on other sack-happy guys like Jared Allen, but it doesn't do shit against Richardson.

    I remember that too....we were trying to re-name the Sack Exchange when one of our TGG'rs suggested Sons. Great suggestion! Gaining traction.

    A few weeks ago, Boomer and Carton were talking about the DL's nickname for a while, and Sons of Anarchy was a popular choice. I think a caller suggested the Jetsons, which I think is actually kind of clever, but probably not fitting for obvious reasons.

    Good article, though.

    It's a good thing for the Pats that Brady felt the pressure and cowered or he would have been obliterated.

    Love it. If we can solidify our secondary and get a couple playmakers on offense, we could start making constant deep runs.

    On a side note, has anyone noticed that text from posts keep turning in to links/ads?

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that's having that issue. I was getting concerned that I may have some ad-ware virus

    The best line of all comes in the comments.

    "Every team should have a line named after a TV show. From now on I'm calling the Dolphins offensive line 2 and half men"

    :rofl: Well played indeed.

    If I'm not logged in, I get a bunch of "you need 10 posts to see etc" comment on almost every post even if there is no link it. Logged in though, nothing.

    It's too bad Ellis hasn't become a force, but I think that guy is just too big for his own good. Is he still injured? Not sure what his deal is, because every once in a while I see him in there.

    His deal is that he is getting vastly out played by an undraftd player. It has noting to do with size and every thing to do with technique. Ellis still holds the point well on short yardage situations but is not able to control the center of the line the way snacks does on a consistent basis.

    If you're using Chrome, check your extensions. I had a one installed called Webdownload or something that I didn't install that was doing exactly that.

    Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) mentioned it also and said "too bad I can't use it"

    I think Damien Woody mentioned it too cause he's a SoA TV show fan (FX?) and mentioned it about the Jets DL also.

    I still think adding the Q in there would have been perfect (Sons of AnarQy)
