That was a great play to use Cope, thanks for these write ups.


I've always thought about why a lot more CBS don't utalize that out of bounds line. I've told many a listeners (friends that put upo with me) that if they knock out before the inbounds toes, it's not a catch. It was GREAT to see that executed to perfection from our man Joe, absolute timing correct. It broke Bekum (he's a *****) to not want to play.

I'm with you DIC. I was a smaller corner in HS, I played all the secondary positions, FS was my best and favorite, but at corner, I was 5-11 and couldn't jump with the more athletic guys, so I didn't bother. I stayed on the ground and forced them out. Most plays in the EZ are high because the QB wants a height mismatch, just drive on the player instead of the ball and it's not a TD. If the ball is thrown low I can make a play on it. I know this D is capable of it, and it was nice to see Haden make the right play, because OBJ had ZERO chance of coming down in bounds with that ball.

I'm also surprised that hasn't ticked up more since the league got rid of that terrible force out rule. It's just sound CB play. Keep em close to the sideline, let up jump, force them out.
