The secondary did play better today. I'm watching the game on TiVo right now... Barnes playing pretty decent from what I can see.

That's what I can't figure out. The front seven is just the way it was week one -- no significant injuries, but these guys keep getting sliced and diced every week.

Then again, maybe they just haven't been that good at stopping the run from the beginning.

Cofield and Bowen have been quiet for about 4 weeks or since the slide began.

Bowen has been very good to me, Carriker despite all the sacks seems to be the less effective run stopper.

I still think Cofield was a bad pick up as a NT, I'm sure he'd be a fine 3-4 DE but he doesn't have the size of experience to be a 3-4 NT.
