Vindication for a few?

So, kind of fitting: Trent Sherfield, Deonte Harty and Taylor Rapp, three of Beane's off-season FA signings were all viewed as being kinda underwhelming...but all three played a major role in stealing the #2 seed from Miami. And the much-maligned Sean McDermotts defense was amazing down the stretch. Nicely done gentlemen!

We didn’t steal anything from them. We went in there and took what was rightfully ours.

Spector too. I was worried when Dodson (himself a backup who has way outplayed expectations) went out but Braylon was really good. And Jackson made a critical pass breakup too on a 3rd down. 

 

Both teams had injuries last night and coming in for the Dolphins. It was clear which team's backups had been coached up and were ready to play. 

 

For Spector to come in at linebacker, with so little preparation time and experience, against that offense with all that misdirection and pre-snap movement, honestly was super impressive.

Against that misdirection heavy offense Dorian Williams would have been a major liability. He is a rookie. The game will slow down for him. His head will stop spinning. And when it does he has the physical talent to be a player. But at the moment mentally he isn't at the level. 

My guess is that Williams would be next man up (over Spector) against a lot of teams. From what I’ve read, Williams’ biggest flaw right now is biting on misdirection. Doesn’t matter how fast you are if you get fooled on the play.
