goodson

rewatched some of the first half of the miami game and goodson looks like he's going to be freaking awesome. IF he can secure the ball, keep his head on straight, not be injury prone and learn to follow hoov, i think he's going to be a GREAT rb. from my casual estimation, he could become as good or better than dw and stewart. he can get it done inside and if you give him the edge he will bust it on you. considering this, i think i'd be willing to part with stewart to come up with a stud DT, which is saying a lot because i think stewart is hell on wheels. but i'm not sure we need three studs at RB. just don't trade him within the conference.

nothing really new from rewatching other than what others have already noted ... and that we weren't as bad as i first thought. hayden isn't the answer. no question we need help there. favorite (sp?) holds up pretty well but would be much better spelling as a sub. diggs is borderline bad. jarrett did get a couple of good blocks but we need more at wr. barnidge (sp?) blocks really well and is a much better target than king ever was. rosario (sp?) is a really good target but his blocking sucks. not sure how that fits in with what Fox wants to do. he'd be good trade bait to a pass happy offense and really good in one. anderson is quick and willing but isn't real instinctive or determined. connor is freaking awesome, so is the captain. return games are going to be exciting to watch both from some explosive run backs to wondering if we are going hang on to the ball. peppers so far looks as effective as hayden. godfrey did make a couple of good plays so he may not be as bas as i have been thinking. jake looked good, even without Smitty. offense should be very good this year.

 

Poor man's Chris Johnson?

 

Really? There was a couple times that it looked like he should be wearing #26 to me.

 

He's no Glen Coffee

 

I'm sure teams are lining up around the block for RBs with achilles injuries.

 

yeah.

 

Goods should learn to run inside first.
But some all purpose backs can't do that, so maybe he doesn't.

Good to see Duke Robinson get pimped in there a bit. Vincent has had some lapses this preseason, especially in pass protection. This at least gives some hope for the future.

 

The reason Robinson was available was never a talent question but a commitment question.
