On Jamal Brown

I'm sure most people would prefer Brown in there, but we've already seen why it wasn't a huge deal to not have him. He's not an overly dominant LT, he's just solid. Carl Nicks on the other hand... this guy was mauling everybody today. All of PT's big runs came behind him and Nicks was opening huge holes.

Question:

Were we solid at LT in pass protection, esp in the first half ? Like I said, teams will start to look at weaknesses in our O, and the play at LT is one of em.

It was the play of the D that kept us in this one. By repeatedly getting the Bills O off the field and because we had the lead, we were able to wear down the Bills D in the second half by running the ball. If we were behind, and Drew was forced to pass more, he may have gotten hurt.


As for Carl Nicks:

I thought he was the steal of the entire 08 draft! Been following him since pre draft that year. Not only did SP get him, moving him to G (he played LT at Nebraska) was a brilliant move! I keep tellin folks that he and Jahri could be the best pair of young guards in the NFL! He has "Beast" written all over him!
