Active Roster
Minkah is a dog! We need other players on our roster to get on his level. He works really hard and it translated on the field last night!
You also have to factor in the competitive defensive talent that SD State faced vs The Big 10 so the comparison becomes more subjective IMO.I dont really care about highlight real catches to be honest. I watched every game of Goederts the last 2 years and almost every game of Mike's last year. i have been on record for well over a year that I viewed Goedert as the best and most complete tight end in the draft. Its not just the run blocking that I like, it's the toughness. and also the route running that Goedert I felt was better at. I just thought he was the better football player at the draft.
I will gladly eat crow if I am wrong, but at this point all Mike is really is a red zone threat. The concern I have is whether he will ever be more than that. Goedert has been balling since day 1, it's just something that I am going to continue to watch very closely.
What impresses me the most is the fact that we can actually have a choice between players. Typically the question is "Did the rookies play?", but now we are trying to figure out which one we felt looked the best. Says something about the draft.
Ya, thats just not true at all. There is a reason the Big 10 doesn't play FCS anymore, they were consistently losing. It is refreshing to see so many rookies look like they belong on the field though. It was getting quite old to keep making excuses for why our rookies never performed.You also have to factor in the competitive defensive talent that SD State faced vs The Big 10 so the comparison becomes more subjective IMO.
Fitzpatrick is obvious and expected. Ballage wasn't perfect but I loved him getting to the corner past the DB on the early run, then that ridiculous leap. Not worried about the fumble, i don't think he fumbled once last year in college.
Baker was everywhere. Loved it.
Fitzpatrick, Baker and Ballage.
Since you said just one. I will go with Baker.
Yeah. Too early to call the draft a success after one preseason game, but it looks like they finally nailed it.
Minkah, Baker and Ballage looked good out there. Baker had some good moments. Gesicki should have gotten a TD if not for a bad pass.
Now I know he's not a rookie now but I was a little disappointed on Harris. I see the effort by him on every play but you need the result and just like last year he didn't get any results last night. I know it's just one game but I believe he got the most snaps on defense so he had a chance. Hoping for the best tho.
For his first time in a NFL game Baker impressed me too.
