Would you say that the O let up in the second half or did Marinelli just adjust better than M3 with the short over the middle stuff?

Is the running game struggling because of Grant's holdout or O-line play? or both?

My ongoing scrutiny continues on both Bigby and Collins. Bigby was.... well, Bigby, with both good and bad. Collins got an interception....already one more than he had all last year (while Bigby had 5 last year).

The question is whether Collins can learn how to generate more big plays (and still be solid in coverage) before Bigby learns better coverage discipline without losing his big-play capability. Collins is the better athlete, no doubt about that, but Bigby has the mindset for the big play. It will be interesting to see it play out through the season.

Incidentally, top backup safety Rouse, did not look so good out there against the Lions, there were some bad angles taken in there.
