    Love to see him give us some real punch off the bench. I love his tenacity on defense!
    Can someone on the coaching staff have a conversation with Rui and show him tape of Jake and say,”This is the effort you need to give us on this side of the ball.”

    even if laravia wasn't playing this well, the FO made the right call on DFS. i think part of what made him pop here was the sad fact that we had so few guys who played hard all the time.

    and as an aside, i still find it funny that he/his folks believed rob was spreading rumors to tank his value. first of all, you're still out with the injury you had then. second, nobody was going to sign you at a number higher than what you opted out of. we knew that and operated accordingly. sorry your agent misread the lay of the land. the fact that you opted in to make only 9 million more in guaranteed money kind of tells me that you know you're unlikely to get another contract after this one. we can't be in that business right now. houston can. we can't.

    meanwhile, laravia is producing at more than double his salary rate and is under contract at that number during a critical period for us. no-brainer.
