Wow Those Linebackers played so well Today

[Schneed10]

I thought the guy most out of place on the first Tatum Bell run was Carlos Rogers. On a sweep the corner has to maintain outside containment on the play and drive the RB back towards the center of the field. Rogers' primary responsibility was to get his ass to the sidelines and not let Bell get the edge. But I think Rod Smith was blocking Rogers and moved him toward the center of the field, which then gave Bell the edge.

Now Rod Smith is a hell of a blocker, that's for sure. He's a complete WR. But the rookie needs to learn that if the safeties are blitzing like they were on that play, then he's the last line of defense on runs to the edge.
