I was just talking about how hard he was on himself, not his play. I love this kid, especially after reading the article on his work ethic and family history...this is truly a special player IMHO.

I just felt bad watching the dude rip himself when he was one of the brighter spots today. I'd hate for him to become a headcase.
It's easier to develop him into a superstar with that kind of attitude than those who are full of it.

True. Walter P cried after not playing well in his first start...the rest is history.

Re: Hats off to Graham Gano and Roy Helu

helu is definitely a great fit for this scheme. hes a big play threat, im glad he got the start and he deserves to be the starter for the rest of the season. time to blood the youth and see what we have. so far, i like what i see from helu, even considering the fumble.

I wish we had a running play or two where Helu runs up the middle.

Re: Hats off to Graham Gano and Roy Helu

Let's throw Hankerson and Hurt's names in here. Hankerson started to come through after the shaky first catch and had a nice 2 point conversion, Hurt held his own.

Hats off to Roy Helu. Great pick. Shanahan does know RBs. QB is up for debate.

Re: Hats off to Graham Gano and Roy Helu

Kickers go through growing pains look at Nick Novak that we had who is hitting 90+ percent in San Diego this year. Remember David Akers was here at one time too. We need to stick with Gano, he will be a great kicker one day.
