Pocic and Fuller. Pure studs! Fuller started and Pocic gave him 3 breathers through the game. Fuller is better, he never gave up a tackle behind him with only one QB pressure. Buckner did peel off of both guys and got tackles on crossing WRs, but thats whatever. Buckner did a bunch of jumping on the pile after the play was done, but not much else on Fuller. Fuller was an immovable wall that did open up 2 runs up the middle. I think the hawks only ran the ball up the middle twice, but I can see them doing that more once they check the tape. Fuller did block his guy and then moved down the field to light up the LB once.
Pocic did a great job stepping in for fuller. 1 stint in the 1st half, 2 in the 2nd half. Where Fuller was an unmovable wall, Pocic moved his guy backwards more often. He did give up 1 sack and Buckner made that play look easy. A quick swipe of Pocic's hands and a sprint to Russ. Pocic got injured in the 4th and never came back. He did pop up at the end of the play but went back down, holding the back part of his right knee. Hais right leg did do something funky on that play (oddly he lifted his right knee very high during the play and then he got clipped in that knee right afterwards). He also got flat backed pretty hard on that play.
Both guys did not give up a tackle in the running game and they never had an easy play.
Brooks. I did see that play you were talking about, it was an excellent real open field tackle and it was awesome! Brooks started hot and faded as the game went on. They must love what he brings to the table because he lined up in every spot on the D side outside of the DT position. He never gave up a reception as a DB however he only used his speed and not his hands as a DE...which resulted in maybe 1 pressure. Wagner was consistent through out, a half step behind him was Brooks and a full step behind Brooks was Barton. But when Brooks was freah and ready, no body was better than him.
You guys might here some trash about Diggs but man he was every where and ended up tieing for the most solo tackles. But what I liked best was that he went full speed into his tackles.
