Echemandu looked good to me, forget the numbers, he showed good vision and good burst. I remember when DD showed up, nobody expected anything out of the guy, but every time he touched the ball he made the most of his opportunities. Maybe Echemandu will continue to do the same, not likely, but considering how dismal our run game is I'll keep an eye out for him just the same. Kubiak said he reminded him of Reuben Droughns, but he looked a little lighter and quicker than Droughns to me.
Another positive is I really felt like we weren't getting dominated in the trenches like we had been the past couple games. We weren't really dominating that battle either, but it was pretty even against a team that is uber talented on their offensive and defensive fronts. I saw Winston man up on Merriman a couple times and hold his own, pretty impressive. Take away the turn overs that made this thing a blow out early and caused us to get out of our gameplan and I think we would've at least made a game of it. Bottom line is our skill position players blew the game for us, while our big uglies held their own, which is the complete opposite of what normally happens it seems.
