No matter, I thought all the "Shanahan is meddling with Haslett" was kind of BS, but part of me really agrees. His defensive schemes looked creative and we had some rookies and backups really contributing. After seeing Chris Baker at NT, Cofield might be able to go back to DE and eat people up like he used to (not that he was bad at NT). LOVE me some Bashaud Breeland. Guy is going to pick up right where D. Hall leaves off when he goes.

Also, an unheralded guy is Trent Murphy. The stat line might not show him, but every time I see him he's either making a pressure or eating up blockers. Only a matter of time before he starts getting the sacks.

I agree. I like that he does not have to start. He can develop and hopefully he will be ready for next year. That way we can spend the $11million Orakpo money on a Right Tackle and more.

If Murphy develops, I totally agree with this. Better still, perhaps Morgan Moses will be ready to assume the starting role at RT.
