No Names Make Major Contribu- tions On Defense

Samuel picks off a pass The defense deserves a great deal of credit for winning this one and some names of the contributors, you may not be too familiar with.

This group hasn’t been perfect and I like the fact that in the same way as the team, the defense hasn’t peaked, they’ve got plenty of room to get better.

Great play by Sheldon Brown when stripped Delanie Walker of the ball as the Niners were in position to go in and score.  He went in with the intentions of the getting the football out and that’s what he did.

Yes Asante Samuel picked off a pass by reading a route and coming off of a receiver who was trying to run him out of the area.  Turnovers win games and they’ll be even more important in the playoffs.

The team’s best pass rusher, Trent Cole was all over the place putting pressure on the Niners quarterback Alex Smith.  He recorded a couple of quarterback sacks and was consistent with his pressure off the corner.

Cole celebrates a sack Even more than the play of the team’s best defensive players, the Eagles got an outstanding game from number 23 Dmitri Patterson, who was given the task of covering a freakish-sized tight end in Vernon Davis.

Patterson stepped up to the challenge and was all over Davis.  This was quite an accomplishment when you consider how lesser tight ends have pounded the Birds defense all year.

Understand that Patterson came here as a free agent and had never played much as a cornerback prior to this season.  He’s been a pleasant surprise for the Birds.

I also have to take my hat off to linebacker Tracy White for getting an interception and a doing a solid job on the nickel coverages.

He’s one of the fastest linebackers I’ve ever seen, he told me he runs a 4.3 forty yard dash and I believe him because of the people I’ve seen him close on.

Thanks for the useful information on credit repair on your web-site. The thing I would offer as advice to people will be to give up a mentality they will buy at this moment and pay back later. As being a society most people tend to repeat this for many factors. This includes family vacations, furniture, plus items we really want to have. However, you must separate a person’s wants from the needs. When you’re working to fix your credit score you really have to make some trade-offs. For example you possibly can shop online to economize or you can click on second hand suppliers instead of highly-priced department stores to get clothing.
