Or is the naked eye playing tricks on me again. Kind of like when Childress traded away Darius Reynaud to the Giants when he was a sure pick to make the team and be our special teams ace. Its time to take a leap.
When we lost Matt Birk to the Ravens I don't think our staff realized how much we would really be missing. Sullivan came in and attempted to fill his shoes. Its hard to say how good or bad he has been from a "director" out there in communicating with other linemen in their assignments. The word is he is pretty solid in that aspect. Unfortunately, in my eyes, there has been a huge drop off as a physical dominance. I don't think he is strong enough to handle the new aged D-linemen.
Cook came off the bench and seemed to really help in forcing the line of scrimmage into the Lions territory. I wander if the coaching staff has a hard decision to make. I don't see after Cooks performance how Sullivan can be the outright better player.
