Looked to me like they used him a little differently. Saved a first down in the 4th quarter when he came off of his man to knock that ball loose on what would have been a 1st down.
On the PI, I think he played it the only way he could. If he would have fought off the receiver he probably would have been the one called for the PI. I think it was a pretty smart move.
He didn't smother his man as he has in the past, but for a 1st game of the year with no pre-season warm up games, I'll take it!!
I really like the new defensive style. It used to kill me when the Rams D would go into more of a "prevent" defense in similar situations late in the game. I loved that they kept the pressure on the whole time.
