Risers and Fallers

[tpaulus_2]

You actually have 5 minutes on this site to delete or edit a post, which is cool... Unlike CBS where you'd make a post you didn't like and have to be stuck with it...

Speaking of risers, what about Ziggy tossing aside 3 time pro bowler D. Ferguson to make that tackle for loss?

Hard to call Ziggy a riser with all the great press he's already getting, but I get your point. Helluva start for the kid, that's fo sho...

Tpaul,
What is the deal with the secondary? Looked as shabby as last season, if we have injuries again. Look out.

 

[tpaulus_2]

Well it certainly didn't help Friday that we were missing our 3 of our top 6 CBs, as well as one of our two starting safeties.

That being said, starting nickel back Bentley looked pretty bad, as you mentioned above, and what we saw out of the reserves wasn't exactly what I'd call encouraging.

I'd like to see them play healthy before writing them off, but the back-ups gotta do better when they get the chance...

Quin actually looked pretty good. Carey lacks range though.

If Delmas is out here and there, maybe Houston and Slay should play more man to man?

I would add Terrence Austin to the Risers list and Travis Lewis to the Fallers list.

Austin looked really smooth and was the only WR I saw get separation other than Megatron. Even though Matt Willis came up with 2 circus catches, he really didn't get much space.

Lewis made more than 1 mistake and seemed out of place. I liked Whitehead much better. I didn't really notice Messina.

Whitehead was in great position to knock that pass away from Winslow, but just flat-out missed the ball. It's encouraging to see him where he was supposed to be in coverage, now he needs to take the next step and complete the play.

His athleticism really showed running with KW3 like that, though...

 

[tpaulus_2]

Carmen Messina has been released to make room for newly acquired DB Myron Lewis.

I suppose that constitutes adding Messina to the fallers list...

 

[tpaulus_2]

Too bad Principal isn't still around- Messina was his guy. He'd be telling us what an idiot Mayhew is for letting him go, lol.

What happened to principal?

 

[broncosmitty]

I think he got deported to Burma.

Burma refused to take him. He's now teaching ping pong ball tricks to Bangkok whores.

[tpaulus_2]

Wait, I meant 555. My bad...

 

[tpaulus_2]

What happened to principal?

In all seriousness he kind of totally lost his shit and went a little nut-zo on a few guys on the board and got HammerDown-ed.

 

[broncosmitty]

The guy definitely had bats in his bellfry, a screw loose, and a chink in his armor, that's for sure.

 

[broncosmitty]

Metaphorically.....

That's very ironic because I'm actually watching Shanghi Knights on tv right now...
