    The touchdown that Green scored on Hawkins wasn't a push off, but he did boost himself up by tugging on Hawkins.

    :huh: Jesse Daniels as good at Chevis? Hookfin as good as Chevis? You are nuts. Chevis Jackson locked fools down, and was a sure tackler. Where are Hookfin and Daniels now?

    I think they both jumped for it cleanly, there was a bump, but it was no big deal. Hawkins wore him like a glove, Green just got himself higher. Hawkins maybe need to go up higher with one hand to knock it away on high balls like that. He couldn't have been in better position.

    Anyone hear the explanation on what happened with the botched up play in the secondary down the sideline?

    My guess it was supposed to be man and Peterson wasn't sure and thought it was zone. The other defender playing the slot receiver was definitely playing man.

    Peterson thought he had safety help over the top, and it wasn't there. I cant remember who made that tackle, was it Taylor, Claiborne, or Hatcher, so its either one of them or Peterson's fault.

    Did you see the first shot taken downfield by cox to green that Peterson was burnt on. :eek: Green is going to be a great NFL receiver.

    It was Taylor. He is fast cuz that guy had 3 or 4 yards on him.

    So it was decided that Peterson should have in fact been in man coverage?
