I know it sound silly in a 38-14 win, but for the second week, the secondary did seem to have a bit of trouble getting off the field on third down, often on third and long. The Chargers converted 4-11, but it was really 5-11, since they got to the one foot line on one of those third downs and then converted that 4th down. I think they were pretty much all passes. The only one where we actually stopped them in the second half was the 3rd and 30 and then again when there were just a couple minutes left and the game was over.

The reality was, though, it didn't matter because, just like last week, we answered a touchdown with a 10 minute drive, so their offense was on the bench without a chance to convert anything. A 10 minute drive that ends in points is the best defense you can play.

Reisse reported that Gay started. I didn't notice myself.

These defenses are so damn complicated so I'm not sure who had coverage responsibilty on Gates but locking him down in January will be critical and I'm sure a healthy Harrison will be a big help.

I think our secondary is above average, but when you compare the D-Line and LB's to them they look below average.. this is a nice problem, that will only become better when #37 returns.

If the Browns can put up 51, we should be able to at least put up 70.

Hobbs and Gay started.
After the first series or so, Assante went in for Hobbs and played most of the game.
Gay came in for the nickel, and also relieved Assante at at least one series.

I never saw Merriweather take a snap on defense. And I never saw us go into a dime. I think he is still learning the defense, as seen by the Coles touchdown last week against the Nyets, where he totally blew his coverage position. I think BB made him sit this week.

gotta keep down those reps.
Seriously, this is the same as Game 1. Belichick is making a point of Samuel not being a starter for this team.

JackBauer

That is incorrect. Meriweather was in on defense (not a great deal, I don't think, but he was in for at leasta few series).

My bad re: Asante. He still played most of the game. Seemed they used Gay on Gates a lot.

Rob0729

I did. Gay definitely started and made a play on the second or third defensive play.
