Reflections from week 2

Still a lot to clean up. Defensively and offensively. While it is a great win, and I was excited they got it, I have to say I am not as impressed as some people. Cutler made this defense look a lot better than they are. Early on cutler was moving out of the pocket and into the pressure, rather than the pressure getting to him quick. He had more time to throw had he stayed in the pocket. That wasnt the case in the second half, which is where our D is strongest this year. I was impressed with Harper. Although I think Williams played him differently. Harper is better against the run and blitzing the QB, and that is how he played for the most part. I also thought the O-line held it's own against a VERY tough front 4. Sporles? FA pickup of the year. He could be our second best offensive player, behind Drew.

I remain nervous about the Texans game. They will need to learn to tackle to have a chance. All in all, though, I am loving life on a Monday morning! Who Dat!

I liked when Harper laid that WR out. Upcoming teams are gonna take notice and we might see crocodile arms over the middle.

I loved it when Graham layed out the DB - what a beast.
