Bradford wasn't the same guy after taking that hit by Greenway.
yeah, especially on the two drives immdiately after the hit.
on the play after the hit they ran richardson up the gut on 2nd and 1 (wtf?) and then the fumbled snap on 3rd down.
the next drive the ball came out of bradfrod's hand very unnatural looking when he had gibson wide open on 2nd down. so next play was 3rd down instead of 1st down and the vikings fooled bradford into the pick 6.
a 7 point deficit turned into a 17 point deficit.
that plus two ridiculous attempts at tackling peterson by dahl led to the rams loss. dahl should have made sure those long gainers by peterson stayed in the 10 to 15 yard range but no, he had to rush in to make a big hit, taking awful angles and peterson ran by him like he wasn't there. what's the point of flying to the ball if you can't make the tackle. i don't understand the thought process in his brain when he rushes in like that only to get stepped with ease.
at least bradford rallied the rams back to within reach but peterson is an absolute beast of a runner who makes something out of nothing. his 50 yard run should have been a 3 yard loss but he finds a way to embarress defenders and pop a big run. but really, as the last line of defense, dahl has to make sure he makes the tackle. he can't rush in like a madman without any care in the world. crazy.
