I was quite happy that it was our defense that carried us to this win. Hell, Irving was as dominant as I have seen a defensive player play for us in a long time. I should caveat that by saying that Lee has produced over and over this year, so maybe I am used to that, but Irving was dominant.
The offense was excellent as well. A couple of bad penalties really derailed us at times.
The double reverse to Whitehead sucked big ass dicks. We got a little full of ourselves there and just executed horribly. It would have been nice to make a big play out of that end around, but I think it is more demoralizing to a team when you line up, they know you are going to run, and you do it anyways. Whitehead fucked up last week and missed a meeting, but clearly we were trying to get him involved. I would have rather just let that happen organically instead of forcing it to him.
When we signed Frederick to that big deal I did not think he was the best center in the NFL. Wrong...he is the clearly the best in my mind. Watching him and Martin push the DT back into the LB...spank worthy.
Dak was excellent last night. All the chirping and whatnot was dumb to begin with. He was confident in the pocket...and I did not really mind the sacks he took. It happens.
The defense is fun to watch...they hustle, hit hard, and are pretty sure tacklers.
