You have to take in to account that there was no game plan either. I know they giants didnt game plan but its easier for the offense then it is for the defense when you are running your base plays the whole game

i think that those 6, or so, runs were the biggest red flag about our holes in run d.  those are the runs that made the difference last night and will make a difference in the regular season.  i guess we are realizing how important kemo was.  also, when dameion lewis missed the game at the giants last year, they killed us up the middle then too.

Yeah but like I was saying every single one of those runs was to the outside.  The DTs had little to do with stopping them.

To an extent that is true, but the there were several plays when 1 o-lineman was free to block a LB because there were no one up front to commanding a double team.  If Kemo had been 1-on-1 we would have stopped that run for a loss.

example: on that Bradshaw TD the Center blew up Lewis, the LT took peppers, the LG came free and ran up between the RT and RG to block beason and there was clear room for Bradshaw.  I think you can see what i'm talking about in the highlights.

I hope you are wrong Danger.  I'm pulling for the Cats to pick up a solid run stuffing Tackle, but only time will tell.
