Curtis Brown 14:55 1st - Poor job breaking down in space - missed tackle on sideline

7:01 1st - Great job of breaking up RZ pass...doesn't give much space...great technique... gets vertical...nice athleticism

8:52 2nd - Poor positioning on outside technique ... should have been settled on WR's outside shoulder...gave up completed pass


DeMarco Murray 14:55 1st - very good flare route ... soft hands ... gets pads low ... good speed

11:08 1st - Good hands, make tackler miss ... good toughness at end of run

14:14 1st - Shows some elusiveness on this play but more bad defense and tackling... doesn't show elite 2nd gear here

7:38 1st - Showed solid explosion out of cut

7:01 1st - Solid job in pass protection taking on blitz


Sam Acho 14:14 1st - Recognizes delayed screen but too far from play to make impact ... shows good instincts and vision here

13:46 1st - Shows good hustle and motor on pursuit tackle...nice instincts and solid speed


Aaron Williams 13:12 1st - Solid coverage and technique here - forces out of bounds throw

7:52 1st - Gets taken out of play ... Poor job of not taking on block on WR screen ... Should have shown more toughness here ... At least he forced WR inside

11:55 1st - Good speed, poise, and technique on blitz/sack


Jeremy Beal 12:58 1st - Gets pushed out of play by tackle and gives up long run...a little too finesse should have been more physical here

10:41 - showed good effort on this play - WR too quick

10:25 - Nice hand extension - good toughness and forces 3rd down tackle...great job staying with play

2nd 9:40 - DL drop - solid agility ... nice QB tackle ... good technique


Travis Lewis 12:36 1st - Nice motor and very physical in filling A gap on run blitz

10:41 - Nice speed and range

1:20 1st - Solid depth in zone drop ... always seems to get involved ... willing to get uniform a little dirty

1:12 1st - Recogines screen quickly ... takes on block and eliminates space ... quick, strong hands vs. OL

7:12 2nd - Shows elite upper body strength in taking on OG ... great technique, keeps hands inside pads, keeps feet moving ... forces OG to ground. Really impressive play

3:24 2nd - Poor awareness in zone and overpursues

2:29 2nd - Didn't stay home and look for QB keeper on read option ... bad discipline and instincts


Chykie Brown 9:14 1st - Should have made a play on this ball ... shows good outside technique, but doesn't get out of his break

14:22 1st - Gave up too much seperation - too high in drop - missed tackle


Quinton Carver 9:55 2nd - Man coverage on flanker (Cover 0) - nice jam at LOS forces incompletion

6:08 2nd - Poor job in run support vs. QB draw ... too high, didn't bend at knees ... didn't keep eye on belt buckle ... missed tackle

3:04 2nd - Poor tackling technique again ... leaves feet and throws body instead of wrapping up

2:35 2nd - Poor tackle again ... throws body only using helmet/shoulder pads instead of wrapping up
