Rashad Johnson has also been good as the third safety.

Richard Marshall is currently the second corner he has also moved to safety in some packages while Rhodes was injured. He hasn’t done anything spectacular but he is playing well. Had a good game on Sunday too.

A.J. Jefferson is the other corner who was the starter alongside Peterson to start the season. Undrafted rookie from last season but he has very long arms and he is good at batting passes away.

Some guys in the secondary have also dropped a lot of Interceptions. They get plenty of chances to pick off passes but they keep dropping them.

Breaking the franchise rushing record earlier this year also helps endear him to us.

I’m pretty sure both teams will be happy with their selections.

I said in the post that I was begging for Von Miller to wind up here, and he is the only guy from this draft I would trade Peterson for because of how much of a difference maker that guy is defensively.

Did a great job on DeMarco Murray, but got gashed by Peyton Hillis on a few runs.

i didn’t think Benson would be ahead of anybody except maybe Chris Perry

i’d trade benson for gore in a minute. hell, i’d help benson pack.

That should say it all for the pass rush (There are a lot of different players getting sacks too, it isn’t just one or two guys with a bunch of them and everyone else only has one or none). They do a decent job on the run too, but it seems like their job is normally to hold up blockers so Lenon or Washington can make the tackle.

but when they have it going Sam Acho and O’Brien Schofield are great. Schofield practically tied the game himself last week. 2 straight sacks (the 2nd being a sack/forced fumble) putting us at the 5 yard line. Which our offense promptly decided to move backwards 10 yards and then kick the tying FG

I think that we should give him at least one more year before deciding if this trade worked or not.

A lot of people were mad about how much we gave up for him. I did hear that at one point Philly was asking for a 1st round pick and Daryl Washington, and that would have been as much of a hell no deal as you can get.

I was actually someone who wanted Orton during the offseason because he was cheaper too, I also liked Carson Palmer (at least Mike Brown was able to get a deal that even he couldn’t refuse for Palmer eh?)

Admittedly, Kolb could have used an offseason and full preseason and injuries have slowwed his progress, but I just haven’t seen much to make me say he is any better than an 20th rated qb in the league. Seems a little troubling that Skelton looks as good in most ways and better than kolb at shrugging off sacks and making things happen at the end of the game.

oh you mean up top..

Levi Brown is an awful Left Tackle and a lot of us are still mad he was taken over Adrian Peterson in 07. He is coming off of a couple good games though.

The interior of the line is also better than the tackles who would both be better suited at guard.

Great young player. People made a lot of us losing Dansby in 2010, but I think Daryl Washington is already better than him.

3rd round draft pick this year. Similar skill set to Aaron Hernandez in New England. Great speed for his size. Too fast to be covered by LBs, to big to be covered by CBs. He should have 3 TDs this year, all from being wide open on a seam route, but he`s been missed every time. He could be have a big impact on this game, but he could also be invisible. It all depends on Skelton or Kolb getting him the ball

I would try to exploit our OLBs. Acho and Schofield are too green to be good in pass coverage and Clark Haggans is too slow to be good in coverage. That being said, Ray Horton does a great job with his defensive scheme, and puts our players in the best position to be successful. Those three guys likely won`t be in man coverage a lot on Sunday.
Besides that, AJ Green just screams mismatch against any of our DBs not named Peterson, Wilson or Rhodes. If he`s one-on-one against Jefferson or Marshall, i would look to exploit that. But again, that situation won`t likely appear very often, so exploit it when you have the chance

But if Kolb is healthy, I want to see him just so we can evaluate him more. This would be a good test for him.

Beanies knee is still an issue. He will play, but it has limited what he can do on the field.
