Recap Of Sundays Seminoles

LB Geno Hayes of the Chicago Bears made a couple of great plays in the second half of Sunday's matchup with the Indianapolis Colts.  On the Colts second possession of the second half, Geno made a nice stop for no gain on Donald Brown the running back as he tried to bounce the ball to the left outside.  Then a couple of plays later, Geno was covering tightend Coby Fleener over the middle and stopped him from breaking away for a touchdown.  In all it was a great start for Geno Hayes with his new team.

QB Christian Ponder of the Minnesota Vikings had a great start to his second season.  The first quarter and much of the second started out pretty slow for Ponder.  Then, with 2:28 to go the in half he led the Vikings down the field going 4-4 for 46 yards to put them on the Jacksonville 5 yard line. A couple of plays later, the Vikings were able to pound it in for a TD.  In the third quarter after a turnover, Ponder completed a 19 yard pass to Percy Harvin to setup a field goal.  In the second half he was 10-13 including a game tying drive with only 20 seconds left.  During overtime, Ponder was 3-3 for 28 yards to lead to a game winning field goal.  For the game he was 20-27 for 270 yards and only one turnover which was a fumble that he was unable to recover.

CB Patrick Robinson of the New Orleans Saints recorded his first sack of his NFL career by making the tackle on Robert Griffin III for negative 9 yards.  Patrick also had two other tackles and a pass deflection for the Saints.

DT Brodrick Bunkley of the New Orleans Saints helped with a tackle on Redskins RB Alfred Morris for only a gain of 2 yards.  Two series later, he got another tackle on Morris for only a gain of 2 yards.  In the fourth quarter Brodrick made his third tackle against Morris, this time stopping him for only a gain of 3 yards.

CB Antonio Cromartie of the New York Jets got his third career interception return for a TD against the Buffalo Bills to help secure a blowout win.  The pick came at the start of the third quarter when Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a short pass to WR D. Nelson and Cromartie read it perfectly jumping the route and taking it to the house even doing a little high stepping before the endzone.  Cromartie ended the day with 2 tackles and 2 assist.

DE Kamerion Wimbley of the Tennessee Titans had a nice sack against Tom Brady of the New England Patriots Sunday.  Brady tried to roll to the outside and did not see Kamerion coming from behind him to make the sack.  As he tackled Brady and was getting up, he kneed him in the face by accident.  Brady suffered a cut to his nose which was bleeding pretty badly.  Kamerion ended the game with 2 tackles and 2 assist.

DT Darnell Dockett of the Arizona Cardinals was unstoppable making 5 tackles with 4 being solo and 1 assist.  Dockett made the first tackle of the game, stopping Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch to 2 yards.  During the last series of the first half, Darnell made a tackle on former FSU RB Leon Washington.  Pretty much the DT was in the backfield disrupting the Seahawks as they were never able to get on track.

RB Leon Washington of the Seattle Seahawks almost broke two returns for TDs but was dragged down from behind.  Leon ran a kickoff back 83 yards only to be tackled just short of the endzone and then again on a punt return he made it 52 yards.  Both returns led to Seahawks points a TD and a FG.  Also Leon had 2 carries for 5 yards.

LB Lawrence Timmons was all over the field for the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Timmons ended the night with 5 solo tackles and 3 straight in one drive.  Timmons showed his speed as the Broncos were trying to run out the clock with runs.  One run was to the right end and Timmons made the tackle on McGahee for only 5 yards.  The next run was McGahee right behind the left guard and Timmons stuffed it in the hole.  The last run was by Moreno this time behind the right guard and Timmons did the same thing again and stuffed the hole.
