In the excitement about having a competent QB, we forget that the D kept Henry under 80 yards, didn’t allow Jackson to go off.
Our run D was very good, the interior played tough. Anyone follow Hall, Jr?
Yes and No on Henry. Yes, those were the numbers. But, it may have had as much to do with their play calling as our D. He was getting over 6 yards a carry (with his 2 yard TD pulling down the average,) but for whatever reason he only had 11 carries all game.
We did have some negative plays on him, but also gave up some fairly long runs. Run D had good moments and bad.
That's kind of the Schwartz D, though. Has a bit of boom or bust to it.
We did pretty well against what they called. Put them in bad down and distances fairly regularly. Kept Lamar harassed and uncomfortable where he couldn't set his feet to throw consistently.
I thought Hall looked pretty good. Disruptive, but still kind of putting it all together. Hard to get a solid read on ability to finish against Lamar.
I think part of the reason Z might be expendable is that McGuire looks like he's coming on.
