I seen Poppinga lose contain a number of times on the edge.. they did so well not to get sucked in during the opener.. since then.. the edge has been softer than fresh baked bread.. Jackson took about a step toward the line and Brady was bailing head first in.. one bounce and he was outside with little opposition.. way to freaking easy.
But I understand as Barnett was getting buried inside why someone would be anxious to help.. sorry but Barnett just either isn't ready or he is what he always has been.. a guy shies away from beating a block..
Hawk was at least sticking his nose in there chewing up a block... he was aggressive and solid.
Overall I can't explain the reluctance to put in the more firm Bishop on some of these run type scenarios. I didn't see that much breakdown from him in the zone drops in preseason.. there must be a reason.. but it escapes me.
It wouldn't be "homerism" on the part of Winston Moss would it?
On the other side.. you can tell Aaron still isn't comfortable yet in pass rushing and taking on blockers from the upright stance.. he showed much more explosion in taking off with a hand down.
