Re: Scud's Studs (12th off the bench): Cards vs. Skins
I completely agree on all above points.
Hightower/Helu complement each other very effectively, and I think we'll see more and more of them as the season goes along. It hasn't been a one primary back league for years now and it's nice to see we can have an effective tandem.
Also the old saying bigtime players make bigtime plays applies to a lot of players today. Guys like Brian Orakpo, Fletch, F'n Freddy Davis, and Santana once again, they all came through when we needed them.
Also not many will agree with this but I have to give Graham Gano props for the game winner. No kicker makes me more nervous when going up to make a chip shot field goal, but if he had missed it he would've had competition in here by Tuesday. The block wasn't completely his fault (although he could've sped up the delivery) and he deserves props for coming through in the clutch.
Also Jabar Gaffney deserves an honorable mention for his solid day. Solid days are underrated on this team, and for two weeks in a row he made plays most of the time when we called on him.
Also want to mention the never-give-up mentality on this team. This is a game we would've lost in years past, either from failing to make a play when we needed one or for a 2nd half collapse. This team could've laid down when the Cards went up 21-13 on a monstrous Fitzy touchdown but they never gave up, and that says a lot about the coaching and team mentality.
