I was impressed with the linebackers and the defensive line. The corners really exposed themselves as a weakness on this team, and we won't get away with tons of dropped passes against Philli.

Then again, it looked like GW wanted to give them the underneath, and they took advantage of that. Every pass play their wide receivers sold the deep routes to our corners. They're obviously very sensitive to the deep ball, and I'm assuming GW has drilled them to prevent the deep pass.

I'm hoping that they take the million yard cushion down a few yards, and pay better attention to the opponents body language. A few plays the WR wouldn't do as much as start to jog forward and Smoot just bailed out deep.... If he just paid more attention then a lot of those underneath plays could have been prevented.

I also think we didn't bring the pain yet with the blitz, I think his game plan was to back off and confuse Trent Green. If you think about it, Green was probably told to watch out for the crazy blitzes, and when they didn't come he had to just dump it off underneath.
