Game Report (Defense)

[PirateVOL]

DL:  WOW played their tails off.  Henry got his yards but it was a struggle for him most of the day.  We lived in their backfield a lot.  For someone rumored on Twitter with a "torn MCL" Burnett sure spent a lot of time introducing himself to the QB.  We probably came close to matching our season sack numbers and had close to 10 TFLs.  The DL today was what we expected it to be at the start of the season.  Ran a LOT of stunts, far, far more than we had all year combined.

LB:  R-M was all over the field.  Kirtland had perhaps his best day (a few plays where I scratched my head over but played well).  Byron was the 3rd LB in base, Jumper appearance as well.

DB:  played better than they had been.  Martin made a difference.  TK makes a difference when he is in the game.  We were crashing one and sometimes both safeties into the box, sometimes they threw to the outside, successfully but the receivers were covered better.  We cannot seem to make a play, even when in position to do so.  We can't play zone well, two big receptions against the zone, at least.

Coaching:  Jancek really called a good game.  He consistently put players into situations for them to make plays.  Keep it up.
