1. Stone went against our 1s while Jennings got looks against our 2s : Going with Jennings made sense. But the three drives with Stone were all up against our 1's. I think there is a dropoff from our top 3 lineman and our top 3 LBs. Commentator thought we were bringing pressure but the reality was we were getting pressure without bringing extra guys. The last sack (Drive 5) we only brought 3. And this wasn't a coverage sack. It was an uncontested run to the QB. Just phenomenal play by the D. Jennings first score came against a lot of our backups. (Anyway, not the biggest deal but it matters)
2. Our three scores all came without Kobe Wilson (24) on the field: Just a note, he is the guy that singlehandedly stuffed the 4th and 1 on our 7th drive when Miles Davis came in for injured Ropati. He was their leading tackler last year.
Anyway, our first TD drive he had the late hit on Retzlaff so was subbed out. Next play: TD.
On drive 11, it was 7 plays 61 yards, with Kobe on the Bench.
Our last drive to get the GW FG, all with Kobe on the Bench.
When he was on the field, we weren't having great success.
You don't play in a vacuum, who the other team plays is important.
