"Fletcher Cox
The rookie was, once again, an imposing force at the line of scrimmage. He saw quite a bit of double-teams, which tells you what opponents think of him, and was credited with a team-leading seven tackles. In the third, Cox did a nice job not rushing too far upfield on a left-side wide receiver screen to Pierre Garcon. Cox stayed back and corralled Garcon for a loss of one yard. It was Cox who made the tackle downfield on Griffin’s 23-yard run on 3rd-and-15 in the third. Cox had been double-teamed by the tackle and guard but raced back to make the tackle. He was double-teamed again on Griffin’s third-quarter TD pass to Moss but he had penetration on the 3rd-and-1 and 4th-and-1 stops early in the fourth."

Every week i keep an eye on the 12th overall pick and he seems to get better. He could be the first pick we really hit on in a while and is already the best DLineman we have imo.  He has been a beast in the run game as he develops rush moves he gets more and more inside pressure. Also love that he hustles and runs down plays in the open field. A true freak i wouldnt be suprised if a new coaching staff decides to build around fletcher as a 5-tech in 3-4 also utilizing brandon graham as OlB. I just see our defense needs to get blown apart and making us a hybrid 3-4 or maybe an over 4-3 look wojuld force large change. I doubt we will be a 3-4 next year but a coach could use the philosophy i used to do so.

Every week I try to tell myself to watch closely what he's doing but I typically forget.  From what i've seen he looks good.....

Bryce Brown is probable to start...we'll see if he's another bright spot.

That is, if the game is close enough to run the ball
