The CheckerBoard

As far as the passing game goes, this seems similar to last season post-Hunter: Da'Rick & Rivera/TE's and passing out of the backfield. I wish Bray could have had better #'s, but the fact he didn't seems to indicate the D's doing reasonably well against the pass.

I have heard nothing on Marcus Jackson.. Have I missed something is he hurt? Or is Tiny just important to get on the line?

It's always hard to interpret these numbers when you play yourself. If the rushing yards are really high - is that a good thing meaning the offense is doing a good job or can the defense not stop the run? You can't know unless you were there to see it. The fact that DR and VD had no catches may mean that our secondary was effective in locking them down. We know they are both talented. So, either they both had a bad day, or the secondary performed well.

Regardless, the pads are popping on the Hill and it's (not quite) football time in Tennessee!
