Linebackers:

Shawne Merriman had a sack when he ran Dalton out of bounds but did little else. He had three tackles, one for loss.
Chris Kelsay looked like he had a sack and forced fumble but the tuck rule turned it into an incompletion. Nice pressure though.
Andra Davis was in on three tackle as he played more than last week.
Nick Barnett was a tackling machine again as he had 10 of them.
Grade D: Didn't do a good enough job controlling the middle of the field.

Secondary:

Leodis McKelvin was beaten deep twice by A.J. Green. First a 58 yarder in the 2nd quarter and then a 40 yarder on the opening FG possession of the third quarter.
Drayton Florence had three tackles and played with a lot of emotion. Did a nice job in pass coverage.

Coverage Units Rookie draft picks Danny Batten and Justin Rogers made nice open field tackles on the first two punt returns.
Grade B+: They held up their end of the bargain.

Coaching:

Chan Gailey didn't make the right halftime adjustments to hold on to the league. The team didn't keep playing after halftime.
George Edwards needs to make changes fast. The defense was awful for most of the second half and caved in the fourth quarter.
Bruce DeHaven his unit continues to play well.
Grade F: Can't blow leads to opponents that are not supposed to be as good as you.
