Great week for Duane Akina’s former proteges in the NFL as Tarell Brown, Michael Griffin, and Nathan Vasher all had interceptions in week three. Ricky Williams also had his best performance of the year as he and backfield mate Ronnie Brown ran all over the New England Patriots. Meanwhile wide receiver Limas Sweed is still waiting to see the field for the first time as a pro out in Pittsburgh. Read on to see how the rest of the Longhorns in the NFL performed last week:
– Two tackles and an interception in the loss to the Chargers.
– Seven carries for 38 yards rushing plus three catches for 24 yards. Jamaal also had his first NFL kickoff return for 21 yards.
– 1/1 on field goals and on extra points.
– Finally saw the field for the Packers against the Cowboys but had no catches. He got in on special teams and managed to pick up an unsportsmanlike penalty in a brush with Martellus Bennett.
– Two tackles against Carolina.
– Big game against the Texans with two interceptions. Also added two tackles.
– One carry for one yard.
– No stats against Philly. Will miss the next game against Baltimore with an injured groin.
– Three tackles, two of them solos, against Buffalo.
– Recovered a fumble and returned it 23 yards, broke up two passes, and added three tackles in the Chargers blowout of the Fightin’ Brett Favres.
– One tackle in what may be one of 16 losses this season for the Chiefs.
– Two solo tackles for the lowly Lions against the 48ers.
– Had a solid game against Baltimore posting four tackles.
– Five solo tackles, including one behind the line of scrimmage.
– Three catches for 26 yards including a touchdown.
– Still no playing time.
– One catch for four yards in what will hopefully be one of many losses for the Patriots.
– Good performance for Nate versus Tampa Bay. Three passes defended including an interception, with four solo tackles added on.
– Great game for Ricky and his counterpart Ronnie Brown as the Dolphins went back to the college game to get a little offensive firepower. He had 16 carries for 98 yards (6.1 average) and two catches for 21 more yards.
– Two catches for 18 yards in a loss to San Francisco. Roy has to be frustrated and already looking forward to 2009 somewhere other than Detroit.
– Very efficient game against New Orleans with 11 carries for 65 yards.
