I think he will be one of Burrows go to guys moving forward, he proved to be reliable. He also got some Browns riled up with a good block early in the game.

Covington was a nice pickup. #99 flashed a few different times.

They simply got worn down yesterday; Covington and Reader were NOT out there when we needed to stop the run and that could only mean that they were worn down. Covington plays hard with a great motor and really is great against the run; he was pivotal on the goalline stand yesterday.

As I wrote last night, we really need 1 of Geno or Daniels, just 1; they are another piece of depth, they are penetrators and they assist the ends by adding some pressure up the middle.

Not having them last night, Hayseed had a clean pocket for most of the night and was free to roam around there.

Sample will never be a Tony Gonzalez-type, but I can definitely see him as a more athletic and better Reggie Kelly; GREAT hands, tough to bring down, great blocker, he just won't be a huge YAC guy.

But yeah, need one of Geno or Daniels to play; the D will be much better on that alone. And imagine with both of them in there!
