Slaton to [Work More with the First Team]!

He seems to run very well in traffic, and he seems quite good at not going down on first contact. He is slippery, but fast. I have every confidence that if given equal opportunities, Slaton would outperform Chris Taylor.

Yes, I agreed with you that Slaton looked like the best back out there.

It's just that I didn't feel there was a need to "tweak" the stats - and yes, this is one of those situations where two eyes work better than stats... I just wanted to point out (and not necessarily to you) that although Slaton got stuffed a couple of times due to poor blocking, it still counts on the stat sheet....
