You got to be kidding?????
Hitchens makes one play @ the goalline...and it's "All hail Hitchins!!!!"
Got news for you...was specifically watching him a lot last night. And it wasn't good. He was constantly filling the wrong gap on running plays...getting lost in coverage. Guy has a long way to go....

I think I saw him on a few special team plays covering punts...and that was about it. But he did nothing as well. Disappointing

Nope, I'm not kidding, and I'm not saying All Hail Hitchens, either. He struggled on some plays, disappeared on others, but he also made more than one play. He had some nice, sure tackles. Overall he looked like a 4th rounder playing in his first NFL game. Which made me happy because I thought he was a tremendous reach. After one game, I feel a little better about the pick.

He had 8 tackles, 5 solos, so he wasn't too lost.

Hitch played very well. He's a rook, this is his first NFL test and he will get better. The guy is smart and he's willing and able from what we can tell from his background.

He had a very good night. The goal line play in the backfield he made is a play pro-bowlers make. He's a mean SOB.

I saw Carter doing his best Mike Jenkins impression on Danny Woodhead...

Was it the infamous wheel route? You think we would have looked at last years tape and shut that down.

Carter looked like a combat vet experiencing ptsd when he saw Woodhead

The defense...eh. We had 3 starters in the game to start so I have zero opinion on the defense other than if the walking wounded remain the walking wounded all year long and a ton of those guys play meaningful minutes then this defense will be every bit as bad as last year.
But without seeing hardly any starters, at all, on defense I simply have no real opinion on the defense at this time after last night. I will say that Hitchen's wasn't all world, or anything, but he certainly wasn't terrible like some on here are claiming. They have no choice but to claim that though because they've made it clear all along that he's got no chance. So if he shows even the slightest bit of ability then they're going to be upset that they weren't correct.
That said it wasn't like the guy amazed last night. He played OK and that's what I'd expect from a rookie out there in his first live NFL action.
I was pleased with the first team O-Line and the running game. I definitely liked what I saw in that area and I was pleasantly surprised by how accurate Weeden seemed to be. I don't feel comfortable if he has to start any games yet, well not real comfortable, but I feel a tad bit better after last night.
Williams looked pretty good last night too, especially without Witten and Bryant in there to take any attention away. I really love that pick last year. I think Bryant and Williams can be a really dangerous duo this year.

Ya I thought Williams looked excellent. Some nice catches on shorter routes, which we didn't see much of last year (it was mostly deep stuff). That has turned out to be a great pick so far.
