Which rookie impressed you the most vs Cards?

Postby toomuchmerrilhoge » Sat Aug 15, 2009 2:57 pm

For me:

1) Mike Wallace: Great composure over the middle and catching in traffic. Didn't look nervous at all...this guy could be a great weapon this season with his speed.
2) Isaac Redman: Where the heck did Colbert/Tomlin find this guy?
3) Joe Burnett: Yes, he got a little sloppy on his punt return, but showed great anticipation on his pick


Disappointed in:
1) Mendy: Seems like he's thinking too much instead of just running hard. Lacks explosiveness out of the backfield
2) Officials: How the heck did they call pass interference on Madison?

Nice surprises:
1) McDonald: Has nice quickness and great hands over the middle. Could be a great third-down option this year.
2) Ratliff: Made a nice open-field tackle and showed solid coverage skills. Our secondary should be at least as good as last year.
3) Silverback: I can't be the only guy out there who enjoyed watching him slam pretty-boy Leinart to the turf. OUCH!!

Redman.
He may make a vet look for work elsewhere.

I did not see the whole game but Wallace was impressive. Burnett also did not look bad.

The other guy I like (not a sexy pic) is the OL Foster. I think he will keep Capezzi off the team and most likley will land a roster spot.

Redman was impressive and seems to run very hard (aka Gary Russell). Now we need to see him do it in the first qtr of a preseason game. I still think he is a bit of a reach (could make practice squad) unless he can turn into a special teams demon.

I have a feeling it will be hard for him to unseat Carey Davis.

I was very impressed with Wallace. He looks like a guy that can catch a 5 yard pass and turn it into an 80 yard touchdown. Redman also looked great. I'd love to see him run with the first line.

Wallace and Burnett. Speed kills and looks like these guys have it.

How about a "Comeback Player"?
Was I the only one who went to make a sandwich while Seppy's punts were in the air and came back in time to watch 'em land? Holy cow, ... can you say Field Position?
