Dude was playing in his 18th NFL game. He had a poor outing. Big deal, really. The first test will be how he bounces back from this debacle against a talented D. The next tests will be how he handles himself and his game if his stats and performance don't live up to the hype following a very good freshman outing.
Lets hope he doesn't go all Vince Young on his coach and team as he is a bright star in the NFL today and will make the league fun. Lets give him this season before declaring him a bust or a head case, shall we ?
Unless his recovery from injury goes badly, he will be on the roster next year no matter who or how many we draft/acquire for the WR position. He is a gamer, excellent hands and good attitude.
Or we can thank them for influencing non savvy teams to allow Glenn to fall to us in the second. If indeed Glenn turns out to be a dominant LT, he will be a steal even at the top of the second round.
I think Bill is too classy for that.
CJ played a heck of a game yet again. I was one if his doubters but no more. The guy has that elusive quality and big play ability that we sorely need.
McK on the other hand had a great return which showcased his athletic ability of which there was rarely any doubt. But, he was drafted high to primarily be a CB. In his fifth and contract year, he continues to underwhelm us in that role. As valuable as todays TD was, I would have rather him having panned out as a shutdown corner.
I am wondering the same thing esp considering out LB'ers are young and inexperienced (Shep, Moats). Also, is Tarvaris still not 'ready' ? Glad to see TJ is active. Hope he plays and provides a much needed dimension to the passing game.
Talent, experienced DC and decent play by the maligned LBs makes me give this group a.pass for this and a couple of more games to get their act together. I really feel they cannot play any worse. Tell the damn O to stop giving them a short field to defend so often.
Should I suggest banning you for a week because you are not too emotionally invested in the team ? My point is that everybody takes it differently and railing on those who take it worse than others is kinda silly. I am frustrated as I feel apathy coming on earlier and earlier as the seasons go by - with Jauron, it would be typically be by game 6-8, last year it took longer but this year has the makings of an early disaster.
In other news - you are a reasonable poster so don't take this as a call to arms.
