Nice. I fixed that.
This was a press release from the Rams, so I can't take credit for what is normally brilliant dyslexia on my part.

This is more how I see Quick developing....I may be totally wrong, more of a big possession guy who can break one every now and then....and a force inside the 10. Guys want to keep saying Quick is like Bryant in Dallas but I could see him being like a Boldin kind of receiver in particular if he gets a little bigger and learns how to use his body. One thing for sure, Givens, Austin, Cook and Quick is a lot of fast and big to contend with on D. So many possibilities.

Some of how Quick develops of course depends on how he is used....but, if he turns out like Bryant, Thomas or Boldin I will have no complaints.

That was a great catch by Quick and one that is essentially uncoverable. Clemens threw it high at the point where only he could catch it. Quick used his great size and jumping ability to catch it over the defender. If he can do that against other teams first stringers then he should be starting.

My only gripe is I wish he caught more catchable balls more and that fumble did hurt.
