Your top 5 most suprising players so far....

1. Reggie Smith: who would have thought he may have looked to be a better option than Dashon.
2. Bowman: not that he's doing well but that he is also getting so much praise. I still question his coverage skills but that may not be as important in this defense.
3. Rachal: performing much better than expected.
4. Snyder: still ahead of Goodwin.
5. Alex: so far so good but it was vs the Raiders. He's got to do it 3 games straight.
6. Kap: not bad. His accuracy is solid also.
7. Craps: who would of thought this guy pulls this s**t 3 years straight.

True, but also good receivers will catch things that are within their catch zone. So both are at fault.

exactly. When throwing to a fullback, ball placement is even more crucial.

thats the problem, he is not nor has he ever been, a "good receiver" and being that Alex should have known this for YEARS since they have had plenty of time together, he should of made a MUCH better pass. With that said, we need Miller to beat out Norris

a 7th grader could have made that catch. He lofted it so it would come down gentle.

I agree about the last staement-with that said the staff should have gotten someone better than Norris or put someone in the game that is.

Braylon Edwards-Other then when he came out for the draft(i wanted us to draft him with the first pick instead of Alex or Aaron)i really havent paid attention to him but im surprised how big and physical he is, when i see him i think of T.O

yeah, this.

Also Kilgore, Miller, and Bowman. Frankly, there's quite a few surprises on this team, including pretty much our entire draft class.

701. Although he isn't a player but Baalke came through.

I agree but the call was a play action and they needed to the Seahawks to believe it was a run so being that Morris is their NORMAL run blocking FB in the goal line package, of course they will not put someone else in the game to show their hand. The call was great (he was wide open), the situation fell right into our hands and Alex missed the throw. Norris couldn't have been more wide open down there which means Jimmy Raye actually made THE RIGHT call and we didn't execute.

Getting back on topic, Miller should definitely get the nod over Morris in our offense this year and as for Morris........... good riddance

A 7th grader who isn't a roided up 260 pounds of muscle who can't even bend over to whipe his own ass.

He shouldn't have stopped running. I was there. Alex threw to where he would have been if he just kept plodding along into the endzone. Instead, the idiot stops, turns around, and backpedals. Ridiculous. It'd be funny if it was someone else's team.
