Was Easley on the field at the end because of the injuries to the secondary or did Rex/Thurman wanted him out there in case of a jump ball? I'm curious to see if Rex/Thurman will use Easley more in the secondary in the remaining games.

It was just a 'hands' team to go up for jump balls - Watkins was back there too. That being said, maybe Easly could play some LB for us now.. :P

Lol it's not that easy to just switch from WR to DB in the NFlL. No way this happens just because he got a pick at the end of the game (even though it was pretty cool to see lol).

Okay, I wasn't sure if we were going to see Easley do a George Wilson conversion to Safety.

Lol, who knows, do we have anyone left that can play LB?

That is actually a common practice. When the Lions lost to GreenBay on the last second Hail Mary, many analysts were surprised that Calvin Johnson was not on the field as a defender.

I know teams always did that with Randy Moss as well.

Didn't the Pats*** have a player that did this like 10 years ago. Perhaps could play at safety. We may need him soon w/ all the injuries. And the guy can hit.

They just wanted some of the good hands guys out there. Turned out to be a great decision.

I would think the best guys to defend the hail mary would be the tallest guys that arent fat like tight ends or someone like Manny Lawson, a 6 foot 5 former track and field star with long arms (did anyone know Manny had a long jump in college over 24 feet?) The dude can run and jump like a freak.

 

Easley looked heavier to me today, more like a LB.

Both Troy Brown and Julian Edleman played corner for them when they were short handed.

I was wondering what high schools our LBs were playing for last week.

Troy Brown

How can we forget? Dude shutdown the Bills WR's and had a huge game-winning INT against the Bills in 2004. Something that could only happen against the Bills (like the no-name 100 yard RB's).
