    He likes Perkins too but he's been complimentary of Cox for "what he puts on film" for the last few games.

    Antwan Powell-Ryland. First start replacing Cox….6 tackles, a sack and 2 tackles for losses. I think we going to be fine.

    Honestly, didn't notice we were without cox. Powell-Ryland, Princely U and Boone did fine.

    given how our D played today, I would say Napier was on to something when he cut Cox loose

    I noticed we didn’t have a guy 10 yards upfield past the play half the game.

    Unrelated to Cox, I also noticed we didn’t spend nearly as many plays standing flat footed at the sticks. Weird that d looked so much better.

    Tale of two half’s.
    The first half the D looked pretty bad.

    They totally turned it around in the second.

    If they kept playing like they did in the first half I doubt people are so giddy.

    It seemed like they played more man and blitzed more in the second. Something that has been suggested on these boards for weeks.
