In the ne/Miami game I was watching miami's edge rushers, not sure if it was cam wake, but on one move I watched him dip his shoulder as he was turning the corner and since his body was at a near 45 degree angle, it completely prevented the tackle from wrapping his arm around his neck to stop him, and I think if orakpo took better angles instead of trying to straight up billfish every time he'd be able to get past the hold. The play I was referring to didn't matter in the end cuz Brady got the pass off, but it really showed how players can beat the O-line without having to bullrush. A spin or a juke wouldn't hurt either.
:confused: Damn autocorrect.
Matty I know I'm picking on his game a little too much, but I just want to see him stop disappearing from games is all. He's still a damn good pass rusher, I just want to see his name start getting more recognition from around the league.

I picked Moss.
It was a tie between him and Grossman for me. Davis was another close pick. However in the end although I was extremely happy Davis stepped up his game, I figured this is what he was supposed to be all along. Which is why we drafted him in the 2nd round. I'm still bewildered as to why he was left uncovered so many times. It's like the defense didn't have a plan for him or figured he wouldn't do much because he hasn't in the past.
As for Orakpo being quiet, I'm of the belief he was being held more often then not. Why the refs wouldn't call it I don't know.
Grossman could have gotten my pick but I just had a feeling he would have a good game. Just like I figured the team would win the first game.
What really stood out to me was Moss, and believe me I've been a critic of him lately. He stepped up when no other WR was stepping up. He made a play everytime when one was needed and others were not getting the job done. So my pick went to him this week.
As for Flether and Kerrigan, I felt they were doing their jobs. I know the pick and TD by Kerrigan was nice, but lets see another one this week and I'll give him my pick for week 2.

Your autocorrect thought that "billfish" was a better choice than "bullrush"? lmao. Like people use the word "billfish" all the time.

After watching Aaron Hernandez last night, I don't see any reason why Fred Davis can't contribute to that effect week in and week out. Sure Grossman is no Brady, but like Hernandez, Davis is a matchup nightmare. Too fast for LBs to cover, too big for DBs to cover.

As athletic as Davis is, Hernandez actually looks and runs like a wr. That guy might be the fastest TE in the NFL. I want to see more of Davis though. No disrespect to Cooley but he's just not the red zone threat that Davis can be. I think it's his time now.

Obviously your iphone is simply trying to bring innovation to the English language by increasing the use of "billfish."
"Grossman billfishes to Armstrong for a touchdown!"
"Coach Shanahan billfished the team with a rousing halftime speech."
"Personal foul. Billfish. 15 yard penalty and an automatic first down."
