Here's Mike Pereira's explanation of the TD catch in a "bonus" segment:

That's pretty much what I was screaming to the TV when they reviewed it...he held onto to the ball through the first contact with the ground, it wasn't until after rolling over Finnegan that he lost the ball.

Leave it to J.J. to make routine things seems like mountains. I was good on the TD, but until I heard the explanation, I thought we had got away with one. So the rule on the faircatch is that the receiver has the opportunity to make a "faircatch" even if he bobbles the ball until the ball hits the ground! But it didn't hit the ground because the opponent grabbed it out of the air, thus saving Jocobie's bacon, to say nothing of his ass!

You are correct sir!

Speaking of the Titans game PK, what did you think of Cushing's 10 TFL? Do you still maintain he wasn't a good #1 draft choice for us?

Cushing had 10 TFL??? 10 tackles maybe but not tackles for loss.

EDIT: I checked the stats - he had 10 total tackles (not tackles for loss) - 7 individual tackles and three assists.

I liked the fact that he shut down some screen plays. It's too early, though, to judge if he'll be worth a first-rounder. Way too early.

You are ever so correct HPF, my bad!

I missed seeing the game live - I was out of town but recorded it and just watched it after getting home and wow, it was a hellava game !
Anyway, Cushing was very impressive especially considering it was only his second NFL game including preseason games.

I agree its to early to judge him yet but I have to say I wasnt as impressed with his performance as others seem to be. I missed the game because my DVR got reset somehow and I was in Glaveston. I watched the game on NFL replay so I may of missed some of his good plays seeing how they skip a few plays here and there. WUWT???

Anyway I seen him miss a couple of tackles he should of had and didnt see him have any real impact on the game but considering its only his second game I think he did ok. I had people telling me "wait till you see the game he had, man he was impressive!". I didnt think he did anything anymore impressive than Dyles and we got him in the 7th round.

I want to see him become a difference maker. I want big plays like FF's and big hits that fire up the D. Until I see that on a regular basis Im sticking with it was a mistake taking him over Oher.

As Bob said it's to early. We have played 4 fake games and 2 real ones, he did play the real games. But he already showing signs he going to have to be handled different then the other Lbs.
