on our defense. Everyone can say that Stoutmire is doing well, but I have to say yes and no. While Stoutmire is filling up the stat sheet with tackles, he is'nt making plays like Harper was. If you have noticed our blitz packages have not been near as effective the last couple of weeks with him out. When we did blitz, Harper did a great job of handling the tight ends, not giving the other qb that outlet forcing him to hold the ball a little longer or throw into traffic, or throw the ball away. the last couple of weeks, L.J. Smith and Todd Heap have really hurt us on some big plays and have scored some touchdowns. Harper did such a great job as the last line of defense I guess you could say, making the other qb hold the ball a little longer and Stoutmire is not doing that.
There have been a lot more plays the last two weeks on passes over the middle that are getting completed for first downs that Harper was there to break up and this also made Bullocks a better player, I don't see him making as many plays because of this also. Just my thoughts.
