Defensive Lineman
Jay Ratliff #90, doesn’t usually blow up the stat board, but this week he had an outstanding game with 5 tackles and 2 sacks as the Cowboys beat the Eagles 20-16. While Ratliff doesn’t put up numbers like this every week, the nose tackle is likely headed to the Pro Bowl due to his game-changing push in the middle. Whether he goes or not, he’s got head coach Wade Phillips gushing.
“A lot of guys don’t know that they’re not playing like Ratliff,” Phillips said. “They think they’re playing hard.”
Jay has 23 tackles a forced fumble and 4 sacks from his nose tackle spot this year.
Quentin Groves #54 played with his hand on the ground this week as the Jaguars spent a lot of time in the 4-3. Getting back to his more natural position, Groves got the start and had three tackles.

Any updates on Courtney Taylor? I know he tried out for the Rams and Patriots after being cut by the Seahawks. Are the Bengals an option?
Looks like Duval finally grew up. Good for him.
