Physicality on Defense- A+

[adbutcher]

In Risen's defense here, he knew that Hitchens sucked before ever seeing him play a down of NFL football and knew he'd never amount to anything way before Hitchens earned the starting MLB job, so he's not just fly-by-night wrong here. This is a dedicated, long-term refusal to judge a player accurately or fairly.

You have to admire that sort of dedication to a snap judgement.

Hitchens is very solid, good character guy
Has looked really good in camp

He also has position flexibility and that's always worth something as well.

Rather not go 0-16.

As long as we keep Kellen Moore and McCown off the field, we should be fine.

I don't think the Rams had done all that much full contact before this game. Some of the hits were great, but I saw balls popping on hits that were nothing special.

Nope... Mo wanted no part of it. Carr was better but he was far from physical. And Church is a mystery to me. For his size he didn't lay the wood like one would think he could have.

I think church hit as hard as he could. F = MA force = mass x acceleration. Let's face it . I like church but he was short on the acceleration part of the equation.

Hitchens is a solid LB and should be on the team.

Hitchens is a back up. Period.
