Give credit to our LB core too ... with our safeties playing corner, I'd bet there were some instances where our LB's were playing safety. For example, when Marvin Mitchell forced the fumble on Heath Miller way downfield.

It is very commendable how well we played with guys playing out of their natural position.

PS - I wonder if Roby can play defensive back? Since he rarely sees the field outside of special teams, and we know he can hit based on ST performance, might be a good stop-gap solution if we have injuries like this again.

Hey i'd like to see that, it would be like the troy brown experiment. Hes a great player on special teams, would like to see him get more time to make his mark.
