Some post game thoughts which have hopefully not been talk about enough.
#1 OL play. The entire line was great in pass blocking and very good in run blocking (between the 20s). It is clear to me with Connolly-Stork-Wendell we are giving up some goal line beef and 4 stuffed runs at the 1 yard line showed that today (1 was a QB sneak but same principle). I don't think there is much you can do about it as this is clearly the line you want to go with.
#2 Solder - Solder looked awful for a while. He seems to have settled down now and hopefully can continue to. He is back to being a solid LT. I think he played the whole game last 2 games and it was not long ago he was being pulled for Cannon. Someone might want to check this though cause i am not 100% on my facts here perhaps. Will have a tough match up next week.
#3 Easley - I think this was perhaps Easley's best game of the year. Not his natural spot but doing what the team needs him to do. He is at least holding the edge well.
#4 Nink - Speaking of holding the Edge this is something Nink has not done recently but did a lot better of today. The pass rush is still not good but i think they held up well and didn't let RBs bounce to the outside for bigs games as much as they have been.
#5 Browner - This was a good day but a mixed bag as well with some bad things. Browner however has looked better each week. I think the penalty against him should have been a no call but whatever. He did get away with one early.
#6 Game plan - The Patriots dared the Bears to run. They didn't but could have if they committed i think. I expect near the exact same game plan next week. It might help being able to practice it this week.
#7 Butler - I think he was out there more than Arrington as the #3 CB. I might be wrong though but it be interesting if that is the case and what it might mean. (don't know for sure though.. also mis typed this as Dennard at first. lol)
