Earl Thomas If you look at our game it is going through one of the most fundamental changes that really just has not been there.The one position that coaches always protected was the QB Position.Why? All other high picks were just thrown to the wolves/game and were told to compete.These guys have been ready it was a coaches decision not to play them..If you evaluate some of the big time college programs that these guys come from, I am really not surprised.The game is only better because they play now.
Jeff Herrod Luck is impressive!
Chris Jones Week 7 overall was some tough games
