Lost in the ugly win... The good guys!

I know it was ugly and there was a ton to worry about coaching related to this team but there were several stand-outs in the game that aren't getting enough praise.

1. Aaron Brooks looked fantastic. Decise and accurate. Yet another late game comeback for a victory. I've been critical of him in the past but he brought his A-game Sunday.

2. Donte Stallworth. Caught the ball in traffic. I heard Kenny on WWL last night say it was probably the best game he's ever seen out of Donte. He also said his downfield blocking looked great. Most TV viewers can't see that. He appears to be developing into a solid player.

3. Joe Horn. He looked like Joe Horn

4. Pathon. Returned to form after last weeks nightmare. If we are looking for a CB in a trade this man may be required to make it happen. It would mean that either Henderson or Gardner would have to step up into the 3rd WR role but it might be worth it to get a good player on the D-side of the ball.

5. Jay Bellamy. You know, this guy might be our MVP on Defense so far this year. Would any of us have thought that 2 years ago?
