TJ Yates isn't the Answer for San Antonio
Ponder and Predators Dominate Commanders
March 5, 2017
Orlando, FL - Have to give credit for the 43,078 fans in Orlando who showed up and supported their team despite a rough start to the team's inaugural season, and their loyalty paid off on Saturday afternoon as their Predators handily defeated the hapless and winless San Antonio Commanders. QB TJ Yates has not done a quality job replacing the retired Brady Quinn this season. Head Coach Mike Shanahan has to be looking elsewhere soon if he wants to have any chance turning this season around.
The Predators jumped on the road team early in this one, and despite nasty weather across the country that really hurt team's passing games, QB Christian Ponder had three first half touchdown passes to have his team up 21-0 at intermission. The second half was all about getting home healthy for both squads.
