CB Fernando Bryant: I read a piece somewhere around here where Bryant was panned for giving up two long gains and was pulled after two series - the item was critical of him and intimated the coaches pulled him because he wasn't performing.
I disagree. Bryant was pulled after Derrick Mason came out limping. The two long gains were against zone coverage. The first looked like Mason just split the seam, the second could have been Meriweather as much as Bryant.
I believe Braynt was pulled to minimize his exposure to injury as much as to look at other players in coverage. I think he is going to work out nicely this season.
Pierre Woods: After one quarter, I suddenly feel much more comfortable about the depth at OLB.
