[NU Sports] Fwd: Let's Play to Win

I thought CJ played well enuff to start next week, or was it that Brewer played
that badly.

CJs first two passes were dropped, maybe because the receivers didn't expect the
ball since Brew was running for his life so much.

Interesting that PU later started blitzing CJ and he had trouble but he looked
more like Baz in there.

Just my observations.
