He needs to make that catch. Not Ponder's fault.

Thank God it's the first game, and we can improve. And thank God it's against Detroit. We still have a chance. But this defense needs to shape up quickly.

Big Fred Evans made that interception happen, by the way.

Too bad he was forced out of bounds. Ponder plays better scrambling and sweeping.

Call a screen now.

Man coverage though...Got to lead him and he needs to make a play. That's how it's designed.

Sweet. Simpson can stay on the field. Could've been thrown a bit further.
