One LB who is having an impressive year is Angelo Crowell of the Bills, who tookk Takeo Spikes' place. He's going to be a RFA after the season, but he was also a 3rd round pick of the Bills.

On a side note, JJ, in today's Inky says he feels bad for Barry Gardner being so vilified after Joe Jurevicious burned him for that big reception against the Eagles three years ago. He said the backside help--namely Bobby Taylor, had disappeared.

Not to mention the fact that Bline Bishop also admitted later he shouldn't have evn been on the field because of a severe groin injury that limited his mobility.

I watched [and almost cried doing so] a breakdown of that game. To put it blunt, Gruden schooled JJ that day. He was getting favorable matchups on our D all day and JJ didn't adjust till it was too late. (and yes, it hurts to criticize JJ but he's not above it)

Oh come on , Keith can't be that bad

Correct sir! Birds were totally outcoached. Plus let's not forget what a horrible day DMac had. That was ugly.

Brad's Johnson owned us that night.

Watching that Raider game last night it looks like Kirk Morrison - the other SDSU LB is the real deal. He was all over the place. I think he was drafted after McCoy. Typical.

PhillyPhreak54 · December 05, 2005, 02:28:52 PM

Yeah, the Eagles were really high on both of them to be honest.

But they took McCoy.

Morrison = 4th round

Shawn Cody, the other USC DT who was drafted after Patterson, has also looked very good. Long-term impact analysis of all these players is still a long way away, though.

Odell Thurman is a gaddamn beast.

pinoyboy2pt0 · December 06, 2005, 01:34:15 AM

They put McCoy in with 2:22 left in the game and he never looked back! Anyone catch him LEVELING the TE on the Wallace rollout?

*sigh* That game sucked.

I hope he gets some PT, get Adams and Sim out next game. Let's know what we have when Adams leaves.

PoopyfaceMcGee · December 06, 2005, 08:29:34 AM

I agree. Time to break the shrink-wrap off of McCoy and see if he can make some plays. Why not?

trotter did an excellent job of taking dhani jones out of the play on the engram TD.

Yeah, I liked how he decided to abandon his zone to double-cover someone else's zone.

General_Failure · December 06, 2005, 09:13:06 AM

Double cover someone else from behind. In the end zone. That's great.
