Re: 92 Passing Yards Allowed and 8 Sacks
I only got to listen to the first half and couldn't get a good assessment of players in the secondary because they were focusing on the line so much. I'm not discrediting them but it's obvious the line did their job. I was able to watch the second half and Swann has to go.

Re: 92 Passing Yards Allowed and 8 Sacks
On that pick 6 that Nassib threw ... after falling to the ground, TLL was the last person to get back up, chase down the defender from a full 95 yard sprint (almost got there). All hustle, never give up attitude.
The little things that coaches will see on tape. TLL is a gamer. I think his roster spot is secure. |

The games are meaningless, but the individual performances matter, regardless of competition. All opinions have to be adjusted relative to the context of preseason and I, like you, see no reason to wait till September 17th to decide that there might be reason for optimism. Or pessimism, for that matter. I just happen to be optimistic, based on what I've seen. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: 92 Passing Yards Allowed and 8 Sacks
Okay, just got through "re-watching" the game without the surprises factor from last night...
And it still jumps out to me the way the defense and special teams just swarmed to the ball... Yes we used our best LBer (Klein) to down a kick in coverage, but if that's what it takes to set the standard for that unit - make it so... |

I know it was the Chargers, but like I said in another thread, jeesh our defense looked like a real defense...for a change...wouldn't have mattered to me if we were playing the NSU Demons, I just enjoyed watching us play with a purpose! |
