Quote:Colvin was the only guy who got close to making the tackle. Gratz was the real failure here other than the pass rush completely failing.

 

That's the point though.  He was loafing untill he realized he had to make a play.  It's a microcosm of the entire team.

 

Oh and regarding the ankle injury, apparently that ankle was pretty OK, because he made up yardage once he actually started hustling.

 

I like Colvin, don't get me wrong.  But the play was just lazy all around.  To say otherwise is trying to defend the indefensible.  MM isn't that fast, we'd been covering the dude all game long.  It's not like that play was the first time he scrambled.  MM scrambled at least 3 times before that play, and we stuffed him every time for short yardage.
