PLAYER OF THE DAY:
Baraka Atkins
On back-to-back
plays, the second-year defensive end stood up tackle
Sean Locklear and beat tackle Will Robinson to stuff
one running play and blow up another.
Atkins' efforts were timely, seeing as how the line for
the rotation at D-end now includes first-round draft
choice Lawrence Jackson as well as incumbent starters
Patrick Kerney and Darryl Tapp.
The plays also were significant because after selecting
Jackson, defensive coordinator John Marshall admitted
that Atkins might be more of a project than anticipated
when he was selected in the fourth round of the 2007
draft.
