Vollmer - Good, a few mistakes but he's got a lot of ability
Chung - Awful
Brace - Good push up the middle
Butler - Did he play?? Didn't notice him

^ that. I didn't notice Butler at all, but I liked what I saw from Vollmer and Brace, and Chung was really, really bad in coverage.

Vollmer looked good.

Chung didn't look good in coverage but was alright in his other roles.

Brace looked good. I was actually impressed with the young D-linemen in general. They were good against the run and like others have said, I saw some decent push up the middle.

Butler did play, but I really didn't focus on him.

Chung got burned badly in coverage a few times, but looked better later in the game. Definitely a physical safety. Made a lot of tackles.

Brace was in on a few tackles and held the point of attack well. Good showing overall at a first glance.

Butler played, although mostly in passing situations. The fact that you didn't notice him shows what a good job he did. He was locked-up tight on his man, a big step up from Rogers and Love.

Did Wheatley play? I didn't get to a TV until it was 21-7.

In the beginning of the game I think BB left the DBs out there all by themselves to see how they handle man-to-man coverage without any help. Chung did not look good, but neither did any of the other backs that were out there at the time.

Vollmer looked good at left tackle against the Giants starters.

Brace held his ground but didn't do anything spectacular, a few times he pushed the center back into the QB.

BB was just making Chung face his demons. It's the weakest part of his game and it's good to get game reps (that don't count) as a way to give you valuable experience (and tape) from which to improve on. BB would not be leaving Chung on an island covering the slot 1on1 in a game that mattered.

Part of the process, lets not create the "Chung sucks in coverage" chorus quite yet. We knew that. It was his listed weakness prior to the draft.

Rodney Harrison was one of the greatest safeties ever, but he was bad at one on one coverage against quick slot receivers. Almost all safeties not named Ed Reed are.

Chung is a safety, not a corner even though BB played him at corner intentionally. We'll be fine in real games.
