Mo Out for a Couple, No Montario Yet

Stuckey had a nice game. Cribbs was pretty good. What happened to Robiskie and Moore? They didn't show up in the stat sheet.

Eh, it was a bad weather game.

I suspect Moore got fewer snaps with the 1st team because they wanted to pound the rock in the crappy weather. Royal was in there with the ones more (and actually make a nice catch later in the game).

Nice to read that Eric Wright had a terrific game. I wanna hear some of that on Haden. He molested the guy on the quick slant that turned a fourth into a first. I like the aggression... but welcome to the NFL.

Loved seeing Gocong's burst up the middle on the blitz. I'm feeling good about him. Benard didn't seem to do anything and we had zero sacks.

Can't wait to watch next week live, when we should see all the "starters" who are healthy. Would love to see Lauvao and Pashos in there... and maybe a Hardesty sighting.

Haden has played well at a position that most people would agree is 3rd toughest to learn next to QB and WR. He has made plays and given up plays, like all rookies do. Comparing him to where Eric is now is nonsensical. He is making progress and looks the part, plus he is coachable.

Bingo...................the kid is a baller. He made some nice plays and the Rams seemed to pick on our continued weakness........................covering the TE.

Notice after how quick they took Barton out and went with Gocong and Fujita. All the sudden they stopped the run and got after the TEs and backs coming over the middle. Seems like teams want to pick on Roth with a TE or RB in coverage because they know he is a pass rusher first. Nice to see on some series that they actually moved Roth to DE and put a LB on his hip. They got some good pressure with that package.

Back to the DBs. The only DB I'm worried about is Elam. He seems to play very slow because of recognition problems. People should worry less about Haden and more about Elam.
