LOL, if anyone's starting position is secure on that team, it is that man's.
If the person that takes his place plays way better then him. But we all know that s**t aint gonna happen. Dudes one of the best D-lineman in the entire league.

I just hope the cowboy is ready to roll next week in Seattle. Hopefully we held him out as precaution. You have to believe we didn't think we needed him to win when we pulled him. It was great to see the line step up and get some pressure without him at the end though. RJF MacDonald were awsome down the stretch. It was sweet to see Ray mack set up Brooks on the Smith to Smith special when Brooks got the knock down on brady.

He'll play against Seattle. He's too tough not to.

The injury was to his elbow, and I'm willing to be that he'd be willing to wrap it up, take a shot, and play.

This, RJF was legit. That guy's a baller, straight up. I'd like to see him get more time in the rotation, he was driving offensive linemen back and looking good, especially on those last couple of drives where they were getting up in Brady's face.
can justin smith lose his job because of injury?
Nope. He is better than his backup.

No one can deny Smith's importance to the team, but RJF definitely did a nice job. We don't have much depth on the D line, but at least we have one very capable backup.
And yeah, Aldon definitely looked exhausted at the end of that game. Hard to fault him considering the Patriots had just gone one of the most furious scoring runs in NFL history. Our offense did a very poor job of keeping our defense off the field from the mid-3rd to the mid-4th.

RJF wants to be a starter, so this will be the definitive game to show his talents.
