Also, I just checked and Mathis is #2 in the NFL in average yards per kick return with an average of 30.4 per return, 2nd in the NFL in total kickoff return yards with 759 yards, and is one of only 5 players with a kickoff return for a TD this season.

Mathis is obviously a gem midst the rocks. I hope we don't ruin him.

What do yall think of D-Hog? Is he going to be a consistant starter in the future, or should we look to draft a center in the draft? I see him out there giving it his all but i dont know much else about the O-line as far as technique and everything goes.

I didn't pay much attention directly to him, but from what I saw he seemed solid. Vinny should be able to fill us in after he reviews the game tape.

**Vinny** · 10-31-2005

A couple of games ago I made a comment how he didn't hold his blocks but after watching a few games but after looking at the games closer he looks like he has played C as well or perhaps better than McKinney has in the past. McKinney has seemed to make at least one really bad mental mistake on a blitz per game killing one of our few drives. I haven't seen anything that has looked like a total busted assignment...or a trend of inside push from the pass rush. I haven't watched yesterdays game yet but so far so good...and I feel pretty good about him.

Drew gets his biggest test vs Stroud and Henderson and an aggressive Jags interior defense this week.

If he can just hold his ground against that crew it would be a major accomplishment for a rookie.

**mexican_texan** · 10-31-2005

was Travis Johnson playing DT in a 4-3? In that play where he stopped the RB in his tracks, he came from the opposite side of the line, though I swear I saw Walker.

nunusguy · 10-31-2005

Looking strictly at second day picks, this is probably our best Draft ! Hodgedon & CC are both starting, and along with AJ, Mathis already has to be ranked as our most electrifying offensve pick and the potential #2 WR we were reportedly willing to use our overall top pick on in this years Draft (Troy
Williamson), had he been on the Board when we selected.

Somehow I forgot about TJ. He played like a man on a mission.

your right he seems to be the Troy Williamson replacement pick, if Troy had been there @ #13 Casserly would have taken him which would have meant no Travis Johnson, no N.O. 3rd rd pick and no Jerome Mathis

Not that im a big Casserly suporter but by him drafting Henson and trading him to Dallas we ended up with their 3rd rounder. With that pick we got Mathis. Nice one Cass!

Mathis was a fourth rounder.

HardKnockTexan · 10-31-2005

my bad... it was morancy right?

**Vinny** · 10-31-2005

I thought we gave away the Dallas pick in the Buchannon deal. The player who represents the pick is either Morency or Buchannon...one or the other.

I believe we kept the Dallas pick #73 & traded our own pick #78 to the Raiders, so Morency ended up being the player aquired/drafted for the rights to Henson.

Texas · 10-31-2005

TJ-C Doing decent. He's not being aggresive enough for me. I still think we should have got Derrick Johnson
Jerome Mathis-B+ He would have a A from me but the fact of the matter is the coaches wont let carr throw to him. As far as his kick returns go he has done a hell of a job.
Brown-B Doing decent so far. I think hes learning fast and will end up a great player
D-Hog-C Havent seen enough of him but looks alright so far

I think we did well on draft but should have got DJ.

rmartin65 · 10-31-2005

This was a really good draft. TJ is doin okay, Morency has not done much, Mathis has been amazing, Hogden is starting, Brown is strating and Pettway is on the PS.

YoungTexanFan · 10-31-2005

morency is the questionable pick i find in the draft. why not a TE???

POPE in the second this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
