I like that it appears we have an actual punter in contention this year.

That performance was too good to ignore. Let's see what he does in PS2.

[TecnoGenius]

Dillon Mitchell's signing bonus was $62k, that's got to hurt, totally unnecessary expenditure but may force them to keep him over cheaper options.

I think D.Mitchell made one good grab in the game, but I don't think he got any other targets?  Yes, M.Mitchell is doing a great job trying to steal the spot away from his namesake.

D.Mitchell may get the A.Bowman treatment: give him a handful of games, if he is ineffective and disinterested, cut him loose and eat the signing bonus.  He may yet still pan out: he could just not care about TC/PS.

[TecnoGenius]

Same with Sterns.

Sterns was quick and in the right place but had a hard time squeezing the ball.  Did he get a stat at all?  If he can't hang on in traffic he may have limited use here.

[TecnoGenius]

Corcoran was another guy who looked good. PR for this year, and hopefully a player down the road.

Corcoran had the best snag of the game.  Wow!  That's what we need!  And if my @PAS printed roster was correct, he's a GLOB?  Wow!  If he can do that catch radius and hang-on every game, he could be a top-10 REC.

[TecnoGenius]

QB Wilson: Is it just me or does he have no pocket presence.  He seems to have no ability to feel the heat or adjust.  There were a couple of longer shots dialed up for him but he got sacked or stripped.

Ya, he had one good scramble forward for 11Y or so (where was that in the GC?!!?!), but all the other instances were bad.

Zach's isn't the league-best, but man it's miles above Wilson's!

I dearly wanted to see Wilson's long bomb, and I was robbed!

That Greek-sounding QB guy looked amazing in comparison... though in typical Mafia fashion he'll likely be out of a job in a week.  We never put much stock in PS performance at certain positions.

Corcoran is a Canadian. Picked at 39th in the draft.

That's my feel too. Not to say he can't do it, but it doesn't seem like he has that *it* factor right now.

Gimme Zach until the wheels fall off.

Did you guys notice him wincing at his hand again?  Might have been on his last play, I think he got hit there again.

I hate to the one to say this, but I wonder how long we try the Streveler experiment.

Each year it's the same thing. Good at running, can't read a defense.

Wilson can do short yardage. At least there is hope with him that he can turn into something.

Are you talking about Zach.

Yes, I think Artopoeus out played Strev. and Wilson.

[TBURGESS]

Yes, I think Artopoeus out played Strev. and Wilson.

Against the Rider's 4th string.

[peg_city]

Yes, I think Artopoeus out played Strev. and Wilson.

So,

1. Collaros
2. Patterson
3. Wilson
4. Artopoeus

For the first game, I guess we keep Streveler. There is also the possibility of an injury.

[Blueforlife]

Disagree all looked good.  Too few reps at end of game against the weakest players.  That said he looks good and has promise.
