That's pretty damned good Kevin--photographic memory? Tim...Foley.
"Where I think Manning's ankle injury will really come into play is in his footwork around and out of the pocket. He has never been a scrambler by any means, but his efficiency inside the pocket is downright gorgeous; Manning always knows which step to take and finds the perfect angle to avoid the rush while creating a throwing lane for the receiver he plans to throw to. With a high ankle sprain, it's going to be harder for Manning to move around in the pocket and get those throws out."
^spot on & this settles it--I'm starting the no-names in fantasy this week! Friendo's kiss-o-death be damned!
