No love here for Slaton?

[painekiller]

I am shocked by the total lack of pro Slaton post here. I know it is only one game, but the kid played with a huge heart and showed second and third efforts, the type efforts that won DD over to the fans.

I will admit I was completely wrong on the young man. I saw him as a speed guy with no fire to get the tough yard. Boy did I miss on this one so far.

Slaton did not get drafted as high as he thought he would, but this was a very deep RB draft. He has been a quite, humble man. And he is what this team needs, a player that makes the defense respect the long running play.

Lineman love to block for guys like this, he makes them look good because they only need to hold their guys up for a split second and speed guy is gone. Also he has shown a patience to let the play develop and then he burst through the hole.

Now if we can only find the big power back somewhere.
