Nick Hayden played solid

He is not a world beater. Would it be nice to have a true 1 technique world beater, sure but they do not grow on trees.

My opinion is changing a little. He hasn't exactly seen top tier interior talent on the opposing OL yet. We'll see if he's able to occupy the 1 gap against better talent or get blown off the line of scrimmage like we've seen in previous games.

If he and the defense can throw a shutout on Freeman as they did Murray...then all the contention will be upon a great receiver. I think that the defense can handle that if he is somewhat the dominant target.

Playing solid, key fumble recovery yesterday. With better overall defense around him, he can do his job.
Has anyone changed their opinion of him even in the slightest ways.

Reminds me of Olshansky. Nothing to really write home about.

I never really thought he was as pathetic as some labeled him here. He simply tends to the basic gap control that he's assigned to do. Nothing dynamic but quite necessary, nonetheless.

Not really, i dont think i have ever seen him win a 1vs1 ever.

Not true he holds the line and is very disciplined . I saw multiple times where the LB's were able to shot right through the gaps because Crawford,Hayden, and McClain were outstanding.

LB's sure were running free all day into the eagles backfield. On radio today Westbrook said Murray was -9 yards on his first 8 carries.. and then said thats impossible to do.

They key is keeping his snap count low. He played way too many snaps last season.
