Really enjoyed watching the D line play. In fact, the entire unit played well together. And the game was entertaining. I hate losing, but it is much worse, when neither unit has energy and strong effort in the game. There is no question that Heinike energizes the O but what I found to be really difficult to watch yesterday was all the tipped balls (I counted 4), and his inaccuracy. I was shocked he did not have 3 picks. So, the INT by Heinike was expected. It is just what he does. I also think they went to Robinson too much in this game. I thought Gibson just had more quickness and power to his runs, and I wanted them to use him more. As an aside, Ron Rivera's clock management is abysmal, and I have no idea why he threw that flag to contest a yard when it would be 3 and 1. We needed that TO. He just seems vacant to me at times.
One more thing I notice is that Heinike seems to do better in a hurry up offense, and looking ahead, I think that is how they should start the game against the Eagles. no huddle, and just move the ball quickly.
