QB- B+. HArrington's best game as a fin. Managed the game very well. Game plan called for Harrington to make alot of throws, and apart from thae one pick (:shakeno: he seems to do this every week) , he made solid decisions. The Chambers TD called back was a nice play.
RB- C Hard to evaluate R Brown today. The fins never had any intention of running, and when they thought they might be able to, they got squat.
WR- B+. The unit played very well today. Route running was disciplined and they hung on to the ball, with the exception of that one drop by Welker.
O-line- B. Very nice job in pass protection. The Minni D is not known for getting a lot of pressure but gioven the amount of times Joey threw the ball, the O-line played comnsistent pass proterction. Run Blocking was non existant
Secondary B- Very solid play. Bell's insertion inot the lineup has really changed things. He has a real nose for the ball. Cbs could have done a better job in run support.
Linebackers- B+- Zach had a solid game and Spargan played above himself. Pope filled in well for Crowder.
D-line.-A+ The loss of Tractor was really evident in the first half, but J Taylor -once again- came up with some monster plays and changed the complection of the game. Holliday, Roth and Carter all made some very big plays.
I still am shaking my head at all those on this site who wanted to trade him a few weeks ago. The bottom line is that JT is playing the best football of his already sterling career. He has to be considered the defensive MVP of the league. He is flat out dominating.
ST- C+ Mare continues to struggle, and I thought Jones did nto have a very good game. Coverage was not great but Jones' kicks were short. Return game was average.
Coaching: A. Once again, the coaching staff came up with a solid game plan especially the offense in first half and the defense in second). Team had another week of very few penalties.
Overall- B+. As Saban said, today's game really showed the team's ability to fight through some adversity. The first series was a real blow to the psyche (fumbling on 1 and then Minni marches 96 yards for a score) but the team responded well. The game was decided by JT. The team will have to get back to running the ball against Detroit.
