I went back and looked at their last playoff game last year against Baltimore and Blake was terrible, was guilty of a really costly interference penalty that was much more obvious than Cortez Allen's was against the Patriots. They just can't continue to put him into situations in which he is clearly overmatched. Mike Mitchell also seems to have continued where he left off last year. And, I suspect that their defense is too complicated.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07526012660131291862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-56954114955702478792015-09-14T14:36:37.012-04:002015-09-14T14:36:37.012-04:00Dale, what are you hearing is the reason that the ...Dale, what are you hearing is the reason that the extension with Beachum didn't get done? Would you transition tag him or franchise him for next year? With Ben down to his final 4 to 5 years with the team, I don't think you mess around with that LT spot. <br /><br />Also, if Will Allen is down against the 49ers, who would you start at SS, Golden or Shamarko? And lastly, do you think Boykin will see some snaps on D this week and do you think Blake will continue to start over Cortez Allen? datruth4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491881345131204471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-26777271912211968512015-09-14T14:27:45.765-04:002015-09-14T14:27:45.765-04:00Dale,
