I loved it as well.. maybe that hiding we got early this year

would be lessons learned and assist in beating the Storm.

He makes a lot of good points. I think he is a better analyst than people give him credit for

  Agreed Johnny

Saw his analysis, he raised some really good points. Our defense will win us this game

I had to watch that four times before I realised Matt was in the picture.

"Not a technical guy?" - Excuse me - he was spot on without any BS.

  Apologies Col, should've added "I'M NOT...a technical guy myself", being a old knuckle head forward who was told just run hard and smash people when they come towards you. I never did understand the intricacies of the game like Matt Elliot pointed out, helped me understand and love our game a little better :)

    LOL - reminds me of comments between Gus and Joey a few weeks back.
    
    Gus - "Why do forwards always run into the strongest part of the defensive line?"
    
    After several seconds of silence
    
    Joey - "Because they are forwards."
