I saw way too much of this tonight. Not acceptable. Cutler was, luckily, able to keep a few plays alive with his feet, most notably the TD to Knox, but he can't keep doing that all season. Not a good night for Chris Williams.
Is it just me, or did this feel like the absolute longest preseason game in the history of forever?
This team still has a lot of work to do, but there are a few things that may be shaping up a bit.We'll have more recap and breakdown, as always, over the next few days, but let's take a look at some notable things.
Quick Stats
Jay Cutler 7/15, 99 YDS, TD
Matt Forte 5 carries, 109 YDS, TD
Devin Hester 29YDS RECEIVING, 20 YDS RUSHING
Julius Peppers 5 Tackles, 1 Sack, 1 FF
More quickies after the jump.
Forte's big run skews things a bit, but he looked very sharp doing it.
Special Teams Coverage was a little better, but the absence of the almighty Mannelly made the rest of ST look like garbage.
Defense gets average pressure, Peppers still looks like a beast.
Urlacher injury appears to be calf related, and relatively non serious. He sat for precaution, I believe.
Can we keep Cornelius Brown just to have a guy named Cornelius?
2nd blocked punt this week. This week, Iglesias feels no interest blocking his man. Interestingly, he's in the same position that Afalava was last week.
