CBF40 - nice review, but I would have to disagree with your assessment of the defense as a whole. I thought the d backs played excellent, especially considering their hands were tied due to playcalling and excessive substitution. The coaches were obviously more worried about keeping it close to the vest than they were about the game...in all honesty, I believe they stayed in the basic defense just to get film on a lot of these players. Nick Patterson, Homan, and Laurinatis in particular played very well, IMO. I was probably most impressed with the deference every defensive player showed Animal Jr. in the huddle.

Well I gave the DB's a B rating, which isnt horrible, but you have to admit that there were missed tackles and bad angles. But I agree about keeping it close to the vest.
At the moment the only starter that I am a little nervous about there is Patterson. He really got blown by on that one run by Wolfe up the sideline and he wasnt up in run support as much as I would like to see, but that is b/c of the cover 3 that was being played. Also the reason we didnt see Jenkins in on a whole lot of tackles.
