The Frog Roll

So yes, Philip did throw a pick on Friday against the Bears. He got a look at what a good NFL defense looks like playing at full speed, and what a good (former UNM Lobo, Woof!) linebacker looks like sneaking up fast on a pass. I hope this will help him in the long run. He is going to throw some picks this season, but he shook that one off pretty well, and as he learns to adjust and read the defenses, hopefully we will see his talent rise to the top. And speaking of talent, yes, I believe he has some. Maybe a lot. And he has size. And quickness. And a feel for the game. Example:



When I saw that play from Friday's game on 3rd and long, where he broke a tackle, scrambled outside the box, and laid in a 1st down strike to Floyd, I was impressed! That was talent, and he showed his size, Speed, toughness, arm strength, etc. I think he has the tools, and if he can weather the inevitable missteps here and there, is in a GOOD position. Ok enough "up with Rivers" talk for now, but I'm hoping that was a glimpse of some amazing plays this season. And to bring him back down a little, what the heck was that little somersault that he did at the end of the play??? (about 20 secs into that video clip above) I didn't hear the announcers comment on it. Looked funny- Little sideways roll. Is that his complete pass on 3rd and long celebration dance? If so, LT with his "Teapot" and Merriman with the "Lightswitch" can feel a little better... cause "The Frogroll" would make theirs look like they were choreographed by Usher.

Ok all for now... any word on the ticket status for Saturday yet? I'm assuming blackout until further notice... those punters! But here's hoping.
