i'll admit, i've been one of the first ones to say that pryor's absence in the raider game and even part of the patsie game wasn't a major factor of why they lost. but maybe i'm going to rethink that. i remember back when the dolts went to the superbowl and won with peyton manning. they had a pretty good dline with freeney and mathis but the real spark plug on defense was bob sanders. that guy was all over the place making sure that plays didn't go too far if they broke through the dline and got into the linebackers. there is no doubt in my mind that he made the difference on that team. his biggest problem was that he wasn't on the field enough and missed long stretches due to injury.
i'm not saying pryor is another bob sanders but his absence certainly didn't help. this is a huge change in his status from last season when he was being killed for being another idzik bust.

Man.. when he went down in NE, that game immediately changed complexion. Seriously. I think Bowles worked some fuckin voodooo with that guy, being an ex DB he knows that shit well. It changed everything! Go back an look at the timing and how everything shook out. It was like it opened the door. Crazy shit man.

I wouldn't think one player, especially a guy in only his second year who was nearly a rookie bust according to fans, could make such a difference but it certainly seems that way. Isn't Bob Sanders the guy he said he wanted to be like?

It was emphasised even more when the guy deputising for him misses 6 solo tackles.
Williams was a fuckin disgrace back there, Bailey should have started.

Odd that Bob Sanders keeps getting mentioned because my conversations Sunday were that I've never seen a D look so different minus 1 starter since Bob Sanders played for the Colts. The entire D sucked without Sanders and was awesome with him. So, far the Jets D is awesome with Pryor on the field and not so much without him. Is it possible that Pryor is that good?  |
