    2-4... 6, 8 who do we appreciate

    Key interception came in the 2-4. Unsound!

    You can't teach speed. That was a great drop. I have no idea if Forte was the read or not, but Jay didn't either.

    Looked to me like it was a zone drop intended to fool the QB because Matthews went back and to his left. Regardless, it was lovely.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Looks like Forte is supposed to be the entire offense this year. They were doing a lot of Brian Westbrook type stuff. Moving him around, putting him in motion, and letting him run every route in the tree in addition to shouldering the load on the ground.

    I'm rather surprised we only got one INT. Cutlet, even after all these years, stares down his intended receiver and that was why Clay could jump the route and snag that pass.
