More than Mitch: Leonard Floyd, Tarik Cohen also make Ryan Pace look good
On Thursday night, Leonard Floyd provided some relief after Mike Glennon’s disastrous start.
And really, Floyd’s sack on the first play for the Bears’ defense matters more for the future of the Bears than Glennon's interception returned for a touchdown.
Floyd, who has been sensational in camp, didn’t just use his speed to run around Broncos tackle Menelik Watson, he engaged off the snap, won with his hands, got around the edge and sacked Denver quarterback Trevor Siemian.
“I had a rush on that play,” Floyd said. “I came off the ball, seen the tackle pass-setting me and beat him around the edge.”
