I'm happy with it. Rookie Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila had one sack and drew a holding penalty on another pass rush, helping his chances for making the roster. Veteran John Thierry was a factor for the first time in the preseason, getting a pair of quarterback pressures, one on a stunt up the middle on a third down and 10 early in the game and another on a bootleg later in the first quarter. Thierry was not expected to play, because he did not practice all week due to a sore knee. But he said he didn't have a setback with his injury on Saturday, and finally had a solid performance.
Football is a game of inches.
You have to be active and things will happen. Gbaja-Biamila made both of his big plays on the same drive in the third quarter, each time using his speed to beat his man around the corner. It's like Luke Skywalker trying to become a Jedi. It takes time. It didn't happen in Star Wars, but he did it in Return of the Jedi.
