Online shoppers have historically wanted ten days between when they order gifts and Christmas, to ensure the gifts arrive in time. The day is like an online version of [URL='https://www.checkiday.com/124e96856ba26a4016733c1e995e0ed3/super-saturday']Super Saturday[/URL], where shoppers realize there isn't much time left to look for items, and that they must buy. As many retailers now offer guaranteed two-day shipping, the importance of getting all online shopping done by Green Monday has lessened.

Those two were the heartbeat of a defense that looked much better (at times) than it did in an embarrassing 2016 campaign. With the commitment of 2018 linebacker Tre Allison, that answer becomes a bit more clear.

Don’t expect anywhere near the same type of success this season. Doing this last year was relatively easy with Lamar Jackson, and Sam Darnold, and Baker Mayfield, and Josh Rosen, and Saquon Barkley, and Derrius Guice, and J.T. Barrett, and a whole slew of other stars coming back. Going into next year there’s … a lot of guesswork. Of course, if any of the big stars like Darnold, Love, Barkley, Rosen, Guice, and/or Jackson return, this becomes easy.
