Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 518450">I question his impact.  In the Raven's game he had the nice "no, no, no" tackle for a loss early in the game with Moose Johnson gushing all over him.  Later, Moose noted that Flaco was smart to slide short of a first down with Raji bearing down on him.That's two good plays.  Except it wasn't Raji bearing down, it was Pickett.  By the by, Johnston was also wrong about Elam hitting Cobb with his helmet.  He could have as his head went between Cobb's legs, but it was actually his shoulder.  The rules say don't hit the guy high; you can't blame defenders for going low.The D line played a nice game, but it was a collective effort.  Pickett is still outplaying Raji in the run game.  I would also argue Raji is a secondary and generally non-impactful factor in the pass rush.  Perry found his motor and had a nice game; Neal was very active despite not having much to show on the stat sheet.  Hawk found his mojo.  Hyde chipped in with a sack.  What exactly did Raji do?  A couple of decent penetrations up the middle and a lot of patty cake.</blockquote>
