Anyone else worried about Rhodes? I wondering if this is just playing it safe reaction after what happened with Teddy. Anyone have any input on how Wanyes looked?

I am based on Zimmer's comments. He was supposed to get an MRI last night but I haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully its something relatively minor.

A quick video of Hunter's sack. Floyd made a pretty good initial move to get into the backfield and was right behind Hunter.

Its always interesting to look at the snap count after these games. I heard Shamar Stephen got the start today over Floyd but it was Tom Johnson (29) that was the 2nd highest in snaps after Linval Joseph. Floyd had 25 and Stephen had 22.

Also its amazing Rhett Ellison played in a game yesterday. Thats a pretty impressive comeback in basically around 8 months from an injury that some players haven't really been able to return from.

I can't say enough good things about our coach. He makes halftime adjustments that actually equate to results. Something previous guys never seemed to be able to do. If our defensive line stays healthy this team will be competitive becuz a lot of flaws can be masked when the opposing QB has to get rid of the ball a second sooner than he wants. Harrison was all over the place yesterday, glad they got him signed!

No Surgery needed via Zimmer press conference. Nothing else yet about how long he's out.
