Do you have a link to that?

Taking this at face value, it would seem the guys back there do their share of film study and have good instincts. 

In many cases, if a member of the defense freelances, disaster follows.

But it hasn't seemed to hurt this team too badly thus far-at least in pass coverage.

Because we often put Ramsey against #1 and the other corner at #2 last season I kept thinking we usually play man defense and expected the same this year. Apparently Bouye has been covering the #1 guy more often than Amukamara did because he is a major upgrade at the position. I will gladly stand corrected if my logic is off base.

Colvin seems to be on the field a lot but rarely mentioned by the commentators. Am I missing something?
