They really liked Klein and Anzalone. They also liked Lattimore's and Marcus Willliam's performances. They said it was basically a tough match-up under the circumstances.

Missing Snead hurt, but Lewis will get some very valuable experience. Thomas is money. He is going to be our stud when they finally ride him enough.

What I'm confused about though Guido, is how PJ williams looked like Jason David out there when Theilen ran 2 different routes all game.

There were several plays that if PJ didn't just ignore Theilen, then the D line gets to Bradford.

If Theilen did that to us, imagine what Gronk, Cooks etc will do

Not sure how to answer that. I didn't like the zone approach. Far too much room for error with young, inexperienced players. And with the limited time under the new CBA it is difficult to get the communication down enough to run an efficient zone. Man coverage takes advantage of the defender's natural ability. At this point, given the youth, I'd rather see man. But, I can see why Vaccaro called an off day practice. Communication is key in zone. Not recognizing and relaying the correct information can hang your teammate out to dry. I have feeling that Vaccaro experienced a bit of that in the game.
