Rue Time

The jury is still out on Hitchens. In fact I heard Nate on the radio on Friday saying that out off all the players he came away most impressed by him more than anybody at camp. He said that he just needs to play. And play a lot.

Hitchens has been a tough one to analyze for me. He's made some plays. Coaches seem to be high on him, but at the same time think he's got a long ways to go. I'd say that's probably par for the course for a 4th round pick if the guy hadn't come in with so much disdain swirling around him at the outset.
I wasn't high on him from what I'd seen of his college highlights after the fact, and he still looks pedestrian to me what little we've seen of him in Dallas, but it's encouraging to hear scuttlebutt that the coaches or that former players seem to like him so far. It'd be really helpful if he could develop into a player, and soon.

Nate's point was that he was sort of like a RB, he needs more than a few plays to get going. I saw that in the SD game. Who knows? I remember it took Bradie James almost three years to actually get on the field and be productive here.

The biggest rue this team has or will ever have is Sean Payton

That RB we saw last week with San Diego - Branden Oliver. Undrafted free agent. Granted it was against our defense. Though, have to say Joseph Randle and Ryan Williams got me over it in the game vs Baltimore. Our run game looks real good so far.

Jimmy Garoppolo has looked okay in New England. Drafted late 2nd round. Patriots have a QB for after Brady.

From last year, DE Damontre Moore. Drafted by the Giants. We drafted JJ Wilcox one pick before in round 3. Wilcox has looked pretty good but Moore is coming around too. I'd take a RDE over a S any day, plus we wouldn't have traded a 3rd this year to move up and get Lawrence.

Reverse rueage - Eli Manning has looked horrible so far. All the talk about "is Romo done" should be directed northeast toward New York.
