If we are going to keep running to the outside the the TE's need to do a better job. Cooley let go of a block on Rolle in the 3rd, when Hightower could of picked up 15 or so. Instead only got 4.

I think we would of had better success if we ran some cutbacks to the middle of the field.

I agree, I thought the Giants over pursed a lot during the game. Hightower had plenty of opporunities to cut back for big yards. I hope her learned from his mistakes and be ready for this week.

We had a lot of free breaks against him on our Blitz packages, and Kerrigan played better then Alexander ever did all of last year.

If you watch the run defense at about 2:35. Nield is in there on a run defense play, and he does an incredible job flowing down the field holding up two blockers, and we make a great play at the line of scrimmage.

Cofield played a hell of a game too. Sometimes he was blocked by one man, but for the most part he was in the backfield.

The defense did play well , gave up 14 pts , scored 7 . We had 6 new starters ( including Doughty ) , not bad . We have a great test this Sunday with Fitz , Doucet coming to town .
