The whole front 7 was very,very goood, but out played by our secondary. Great game for the D. The O looked good as well. Can't wait till a real test, with a healthy kicker, next week!
In other news, Miami averaged 2.9 per carry against us. So those whom said our run D was no better, care to comment????
We're looking much improved against the run... But we miss Vilma in pass coverage badly. There were a LOT of seams in the hook-curl area today
Saying this was due to the lack of Vilma is not at all revelant. Vilma was the ytpical 4-3 MLB. He did not make great palys against the pass while he was here. This D was good against the run and decent against the pass. Sure Chad had good plays in the middle, but was not great overall. Vilma was often out matched in the 3-4 in both rushing and passing downs. I hope he has a great yean in NO, but am glad that we have the LB core we have now.
^ No, but Vilma was our best cover LB, by a long shot. We didn't see TEs and RBs running free in the 5-10 yard range when he was here. Both Harris and Barton are excellent against the run- but we need help in pass coverage...
yea man. pace, harris, thomas, barton...........they alllll gotta work on their pass coverage EDIT: obviously gholston too
