Re: Scud's Studs Week 1 (Giants at Redskins)
(This is a great theme for a weekly thread!!!)
Overall the defense looks significantly improved over last season.
- Fletcher. The man is a phenom. He's Ray Lewis minus the prototypical linebacker stature and consistent supporting cast (obviously things outside his control).
- Hall. He was in the right place at the right time (again) to get the pick...and he makes the catch!!! Today he showed commitment to the whole defense with solid tackling and a fiery blitz!!
- Kerrigan/Orakpo. We're gonna have consistent pressure so long as the d-line can hold its own. These guys are fun to watch!!
- Haslett. I'm not completely sold, but he's making it look like a solid buy!
Offense
- The Dragon. He's comfortable in this system and it shows. Some of his strikes today were elite and holy sh!t he showed grit standing in the pocket!
- Fred Davis. He's a monster...hopefully Shanny's next Shannon Sharpe.
- Moss. He's (knock on wood) our most consistent WR and showing a lot of smarts these days! The short yardage catch he made on 3rd down (?) when he immediately turned up-field to get the 1st was impressive.
- Helu. That's right. Coach sends you in late in the game (your first as a pro) behind a struggling o-line. No fumble. I think it was a test. Pretty easy to see the talent/potential there...I'm psyched to watch him develop.
