Time for AD to come to the party?

We all know that Aaron Donald is an all-world, legendary player, but his playoff stats are pretty pedestrian compared to his regular season stats.

Wouldn't it be great if he could wreck a couple of games in this year's playoffs and secure his legacy? We could really use him stepping up just at the right time.

That would be great - however we all know that teams work actively to take AD out of the game - via scheme, or double/triple/teams, etc.... That being the case - it would also be great of the other defensive pieces can get home and collectively take over the game (Von Miller, Leonard Floyd, Greg Gaines, others)...

If AD is being doubled - that should leave more than enough 1-on-1 matchups that our guys should win....

It they are directing plays away from AD, then the rest of the DL needs to step up - they can't scheme the offense away from everyone....

Sure will be an interesting evening!

Absolutely agree, but AD has wrecked regular season games throughout his career in those circumstances. Time to really shine in the playoffs.
