Leveraging the football

Can't tell you how many times I've seen it today. Multiple guys on defense taking poor angles and allowing for yards after the catch when they should have a receiver corralled.

It's something that our defense is EXCELLENT at. Very rarely do guys escape multiple defenders and/or break a tackle and scoot for more. Our guys are very disciplined in their pursuit angles and that's obviously a sign of outstanding coaching from Paul Williams, Barrow, and D'Onofrio.

Two things:

1) Those were backup linebackers in on that play.

2) Tracy Howard just wiffed on the tackle and knocked Kirby off of what would have been a stop.

Don't think that was a result of a poor pursuit angle as much as it was dumb luck and a terrible effort from Tracy.

Ebron is a magician. He's got voodoo mojo's going on.

He don't count.
