My guess is he'll return a few in the second half.

Kendricks looked good too. Price made two nice plays on the goal line stance.

Pruitt looks good and had two really nice blocks..

Why did they pull McKinnon so quick ?

The starters on OL looked better.. the picked up some blitzes

Hunter looked really quick coming off the ball


The only player that has played poorly is Waynes .. they were right he has a bad habit of reaching out and
grabbing in coverage. He missed a tackle already too.

Price had some good and some bad plays

waynes looked scary bad. Zimmer has got his work cut out for him.

I know this is crazy talk because we've seen basically only seen a handful of snaps, but I wasn't a fan of the pick at the time, and I felt like he had bust written all over him. Hopefully I'm wrong but god he looked bad.

There it is! Yes! After less than one half of pro football experience, he's already a bust! Skol!

Had to laugh at that, I was in Pittsburgh in December of 1992 when the Vikings beat the Steelers 6 to 3, we were wearing Vikings jerseys and some jerks started to try and start a fight, a nice Steelers girl broke it up.

:roll: He got truly burnt on one play. There were a couple where he had great coverage and was covering very well when they blew that PI call
