    Just my opinion, but it looked to me as if our corner's were being man handled by their receivers blocking downfield, just seem like we couldn't shed their blocks...I don't know if its our CB's or if their WR's are just extremely good blockers. Especially on the runs to the outside or when Locker was scrambling as well.. did anyone else notice or am I just crazy

    I couldn't really tell but that sounds like a logical reason as to why they were getting so many big runs on the outside. Our LB's definitely couldn't keep up running to the outside. Normally, the CB's do close in and seal the outside but didn't happen in this game.

    I saw many times where their WR's went for our CB's legs and most of the time it worked. Our cb's just fell over. Good game plan I guess..

    Everybody noticed. And it better be a point of emphasis for our coaches this week or we'll see it all season long.

    Chris Hawkins is probably still trying to get off of that one block on the TD run.

    Ha...yeah, that was brutal. Someone needs to teach these boys how to shed blocks. Awful.

    Moreover, somebody needs to teach our receivers to block like that. We haven't had a great blocking wideout since Michael Clayton.

    LaFell is an excellent blocker by all accounts. D-Bowe and Doucet got after it a bit too.
