4 things...
 
Chase Daniel is fun to watch. My favorite Tiger ever, and he just makes plays. Not calling for him to start by any means. I just enjoy his success.

Ramik Wilson surprised me tonight. I like him, but thought he had a steep learning curve to contribute. He may not.

Eric Fisher looked good. Other than the one hold, he was flawless.

This one hurts. I don't want to be this guy, and I hope I'm wrong, but...
Dee Ford is a bust.
In the run game, he cannot get off a block to save his life. He's obviously big and strong enough for the position, but he has no power. Just a block magnet.
In the pass game, he's got elite speed, but he can't turn the corner. He gets washed past the Q every time. It's something that can be taught... but he isn't even attempting to get a good lean at this point.

I think Daniels could step right into the starting role without missing a beat.

That's all we can ask, is that some of the players are trending upward. No way will all players improve.

He's already proved it twice.

I think there may eventually be a true challenger for Alex in Chase McDaniels. He seems he may be every bit as good as he played that last game, last year, was it?

I enjoyed watching Daniel. And I always root for him to succeed.

But let's also be honest. He stared down receivers all night who just happened to come open. While he took advantage, I think his success tonight was more about circumstance than anything.

But it is fun to watch.

Didn't get a chance to watch the game last year but I said the same thing last year about Ford lacking a natural "bend". IMO he could be an elite pass rusher if he somehow had the balance and agility to turn the corner. I'm not 100% sure that is something that can be taught though. Sad to hear his run defense is still suspect.

good to hear about Wilson and Fisher.

Did March look any good?

March looked very good. Just small. He moves well. He and Wilson together was a very mobile ILB corps.

Yeah March look good he stop a player in the backfield. Remind me of how DJ always blow up the RB for a loss of gain.

Nice Nice, i'm excited to see how things end up playing out at that spot. I liked Alexander even more than Wilson after watching their clips after the draft. Sounds like Ole Mauga better get healthy.

I have no doubt about that.

He needs more game time & he would learn the nuisance of the game.

Sully 08-15-2015 11:20 PM

The nuisance of the game?
