Defense Is Back, Really!

You know who really did well tonight? David Macklin. The guy never got beat and, whenever they showed replays, #38 was on his man. Why this guy was inactive last week is perplexing.

He's definitely solid. And Torrence played well too

Really saw a lot of different DBs in there tonight. I couldn't tell if it was a bunch of nickel/dime or substitutions. Or whether the subs were because of a plan or injury. Of course if the booth trio would stop talking about the Pat's cameragate maybe I coulda found out.

I concur. He looked good enough to start to me. I thought Carlos looked a lot better. Maybe his best game. Leigh Torrence even got a tackle. It was encouraging and I hope the secondary continues to gel. One thing is for sure; teams are definitely afraid to throw the ball down the deep middle. Sean Taylor is lurking. I hope he doesn't get discouraged by the fact that he can't make a lot of highlight plays because teams are simply not going to take the chance.

That's what depth is for, he's a quality cornerback. A good, sound number 4. We need to face a team with some offensive firepower spread throughout their wideouts, before we'll know the value of our depth at cb. The Eagles are back to the same old problem, no wideouts.
