Okay, you and I disagree on Blythe, IMO, he's playing well and Brian Allen is not the backup as Allen has been inactive every week, Coleman Shelton appears to be Blythe's backup. Agree on Hill, the slot is not where he belongs and I'm not sure you want David Long because it appears Long has not progressed as we had hoped, but maybe he needs the opportunity.
As to the miss FG, Sloman didn't miss by much with swirling wind, but he missed and it was his first opportunity for a longer field goal.
Yesterday's DB played well below the talents & skills of its whole.
Troy Hill has not continued from where he left off last season. Hill has been off his game in all 3 gms. Rams gave Hill a sizable pay raise this season based on his late season perfromance last season. to just below $5 million. flv posted back in March that if Hill continues to start @ get the snaps his cap hit will increase sizeably.
Darious Williams has been injured & we were lucky he was a go against the Bills its been some time now since Darious Williams has been involved in full practice & he may go IR if his Achilles degrades any more. Ramsey is not playing like a top 10 corner yet. Sure makes all my very positive posts on Ramsey to be mostly wrong & full of my hype to this point.
David Long needs to get some large doses of Nickel-Back team #1 practice this week. He was awful when he was on the field. My hope is for him to take over the Nickle......if not Pleasant will have to spend some time with him here soon. Snead looks to have missed on the 3rd rd corner David Long because I see nothing that impresses me about his play.
The safety situation seemed to be rolling along well with Fuller & JJ III starting but once Fuller was injured JJ III just fell apart. JJ III was
yesterday. Not much there to miss next season when he departs for bigger paydays. Not going to fault Taylor Rapp too much he was busy knocking off the rust that he has been collecting for the last 6 weeks.
My opinion on Fuller until this Bills game was lower than it should have been.....he may have been our best playing DB thus far this season ......even being a rookie! I sure hope that his shoulder does not cause him to miss too many games.
