Scud's Studs (Week 11 vs Dallas)

[JoeRedskin]

So I was unable to watch the game but it sounds like folks are giving P.Riley a lot of credit for playing well. Anything in particular? Same question for Nield.

Like hearing how the rookies seem to be stepping up.

I'll say this for Riley he is FAST for a big dude. He was flying all over the place and he stuffed the whole twice like a madman. I think they were both against Murray and he just stopped him stone cold both times. I also like how he gang tackles, someone else has the guy wrapped up and heading to the ground but he jumps in there for some extra punishment, nothing dirty but good hard playing.

Hes definitely fast like Jontrem said, but ive always thought hes a little small.... but maybe being next to Orapko and Kerrigan it just seems that way.

The thing i really like about him is his hussel or motor or whatever you call it. He also has pretty good instints. Hes just all over the field on every play. You see 56 everywhere. Hes kind of like a London Fletcher lite.

But what i really love about him is he can tackle, i dont think ive seen him wiff a tackle yet. Thats what ive hated about Macintosh.

As SS pointed out it looks like he was responsible for leaving witten wide open for a TD, but the guy just needs to get more reps. He could be good and if Fletcher leaves he will likely be the play caller next year.

You know whats funny? Whitten was wide open and if it was that LB's responsibility then it was Rocky's fault haha.. You can see on the play that Rocky was in there and not Riley for that play.

Pretty sure they both were and Fletcher wasn't in

Well all I saw in the video was Rocky looking downfield at Whitten, but It wasn't anyone's fault.. He came from the slot backside, and broke off his route for a backyard play basically..

Kinda like the D. Hall play.. I don't expect anyone to cover an elite WR/TE for that long.
