You must be kidding. Halton has improved with every game he was put into. It started with the Rams down under. That team was gashing the 49ers with the inside run during the first quarter. Then, Halton entered the game. The gashing stopped. That's just one example. He's made eye-opening plays with every single game he's played. On Sunday, his fifth game in the NFL, he announced his presence with perhaps his greatest game ever. And now you would suggest "every other week?" Seriously? Halton is going to wreck this league by his tenth game if his growth keeps up. At some point teams will be forced to employ a regular double-team on him. Which will just open things up for the edge rushers or perhaps last year's 1st round pick.
I don't think Halton has shown us his best yet. That's the scary part. We haven't seen it yet. This kid is a star in the making.
All he has to do is maintain this level of play. One of the best things about the guy is he keeps his eye on the ball so he always knows where it is. A lot of guys engage and put their heads down. He locks up and keeps tracking, you can see him with his head up, keeping his eyes on the ball carrier. I was happy we got him from seeing him wreck games in the SEC. He's even better than I thought he would be.
