There's no limitation on substituting in football. BUT Sam needs to sit this one out for the second half.

I'm surprised Bradford didn't get hurt more than he currently is. Couldn't put any weight on that left leg.

Also surprised Slotter is not active tonight.

Alexander is a better boundary CB than in the slot. Brock in the slot. Let's go.

I agree, although he had very good coverage on the first pass thrown his way. Still, such an odd comment by Gruden.

I thought we should leave him in and give him a chance. I'm also not going to deny his poor play obviously due to his Knees. The man is hurt and should not be out there in a dangerous sport if he is not 100%. With Ted and Case playing decent. I don't think Bradford plays again not for a while.

*whispers*

If Keenum gets injured, Sam has to go back in. Sloter is inactive.

Latavius Murray ... if you need two yards, he gets you three. If you need four yards, he gets you three.

Go ahead. I dare you.

LeRoy Hoard was one of my favorite average RBs!
