ball beat expect intercept line month pay played week

balls clutch division great hit landed line performer says slant throw title wide
The throw he makes to Galloway with the division title on the line says a lot about what a clutch performer he is. That wasn't a slant or a wide flare, that was a 44-yard throw that landed right on the screws. He got hit a lot, and we had some balls batted down. He's got great resolve.

It was the logical thing to do. The ball wasn't at the two-yard line; it was at the one. And we had previous success at the goal line (in that game). Fortunately for us it all worked out.

They've shown good aptitude kicking off; onside kicks, squib kicks; they can hang the ball high. Whatever kicks you want they can kick. Both of these guys are accomplished and they appear to me like they're NFL-ready.
