It wasn't just a case of ATL being much worse than ARI. If that was the case than ARI would not have had their defense taken apart by the Vikings. I think it was just a case of we were that bad last week.
Rookies did look very good, and I am with Bob that Blue looks like the starting RB of 2015 (if not sooner). He could seriously be a Priest Holmes/Willie Parker type. The truth is that low college miles is a plus not a minus in the NFL at the RB position. As long as the talent is there. I think Ronnie Brown is cut unless they have zero confidence that Foster will play.
Labhart looked good. Did anyone notice if he played on ST coverage? It very well could come down to that for WR 4 and 5 (assuming Posey is a lock, which I hope). Tuggle looked good too.
I think at QB we saw the best of Fitzpatrick. If he can be mediocre but also move the chains twice a game with his legs, then we can try to win 10-7 football games. They seem determined to protect Savage and only call screens and runs when he is in the game. Not a good sign, but I suppose we knew he was a project.
As for this being the best draft class ever, I think it would be hard to top 2006 (Mario, Demeco, OD, Winston, and David Anderson's String dance).
