Rodney did, and had a huge game, even though the offense wasted his interception, he blanketed Clark, and was a huge factor in the game. Clearly unsung hero of the night IMO.

Couldn't agree more. Rodney did everything we asked of him. However there were other ramifications because of his assignment. It was not his job to play safety but rather to shutdown Clark. Which was done to near perfection. It would have been nice to have Rodney coming to the point of attack whenever Addai got the ball like he normally would. He definately was missed in this role...I think James Sanders had a pretty poor game in this area
