Man, if that defense continues to step up in the post-season,,,
Irving's great play aside, I think the break the offense gave the defense allowed Rod and crew to make a few minor adjustments that confused Winston.

Emmitt seems downright smitten with Zeke. He was one kiss away from being Proud Papa Irvin with Dez. Maybe he should come see Zeke again at home so he can have another career day.:flagwave:

Everyone was so proud of David Irving. I really wanted to know what Marinelli was saying to him on the bench.

Irving seems like a very good dude. I am so happy for him that his apparent hard work and dedication is paying dividends. That last game in some ways reminded me of a Miles Austin like coming out party where someone goes from a JAG with some good physical tools to pro bowl level performer in one fell swoop.

His confidence has got to be sky high right now and that should only be viewed as a positive at this point in the season. I know there have been some cynical posts about the Buc's game saying he only did what he did cuz he was going against backups. To me, he had been showing enough flashes BEFORE the Bucs game so let's not just totally dismiss it as an abberration. I'm glass half full on him at this point.

One thing is apparent from that video, however. T Crawford definitely looks to be the odd man out in Irving's ascension. He was conspicuously absent from the field replays and was only cheerleading from the sideline. Lot of investment in that dude and he might be losing a ton of snaps with the emergence of Collins and Irving - barring injury to anyone else. I guess he will be the Roy Williams in my earlier Miles Austin anology. Lol.

Keep his snaps on the outside and add more reps to the inside for Thornton when he gets back.

Irving does seem like a genuinely good guy, very humble and hungry, awesome!
