I know AZ said it somewhere, but keep your eye on Patrick O'Connell from the Griz. He is a one man wrecking crew on tackles, tackles for loss and sacks.

So, what happened to Jace Lewis? I thought he'd be in the news the most, wearing #37. Injured?

Offenses are keying on him, not letting him get to the QB, etc. Frees up the other LB’s and DE’s to go crazy in the backfield….

On the other hand, Lewis did hit the CP QB so hard Saturday he broke the QB’s collarbone… :shock: :shock:

O’Connell, on the other hand…..he just has a different level motor. :thumb: :thumb:
