The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Even though it was the Lions defense he was running against i feel Micheal Turner will be a great back in the NFL.

Desean Jackson. I Hope Devin Thomas Or Malcolm Kelly Can Play Half As Good As Jackson Did In His Rookie Debut.

Unforntunately I agree.

It's strange to see the transistion from college to pro go without a hitch for some but not for others.

He looks like an offensive threat already and it was just his first game. Looks like he picked it up quick. Must be nice.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Joe Flacco. Granted that he played a terrible Bengals defense, but he did a good job managing the game and that 42 yd. run for a TD was beautiful. Although I'm sure his coaches told him to get out of bounds next time (he was lucky not to be stripped of the ball).

Maybe they are only half as good which is why Vinny took both. He knows what he's doing.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Matt Forte was great last night, the Bears seem to finally have that franchise back they wanted Benson to be.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

And how about another Matt... Matt Ryan!

Matts are taking over!

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Forte is my choice. He seemd to have great vision and wouldnt go down on first contact.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Jake Delhomme. He was so cool, calm, and collected leading that last drive. Great poise.

He also missed no time in the offseason and established a great relationship with McNabb. Unlike our draft picks.

Agreed. Also, McNabb is good at making WRs look good. Also, Reid's system and QB have been in place for a LONG time. Big difference for Kelley and Thomas.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

I would say there's a list of players.

Turner
Forte
Felix Jones
Desean Jackson
Dante Rosario TE Carolina had a great game and caught the winning TD with time expiring to give Norv an upset stomach.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

matt ryan and flaco have my votes..but i could change that to michael turner if he keeps this up

Man, that was a familiar look from Norvil. That brought back some bad memories.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Im going to go with Brett Farve. Only being with the team three weeks, he learned the offense and didnt make any critical mistakes. Its nice to see a QB pick up a new offense fairly quickly.:laughing-

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Turner was really impressive.

Felix Jones looked real good too.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

The entire Pittsburgh Steelers team. They did a pretty good New England Patriots impression on Sunday. They went to their backup QB early in the 2nd half... Nice to see a team win big with class.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

All the guys mentioned looked good. It is my hope that when Kelly takes the field we can say the same about him. The difference is, none of these TEAMS ( That I know of ) are learning a new offensive system. If the rest of the team does not play well, blocking etc., it makes it even harder on the rookies to look good.

Well he also got incredibly lucky on that 4th and 13 prayer he tossed up for grabs. He still has a long way to go in that offense, but he's experienced enough where he can wing it.

Did you hear him after the game? He said that at one point he called the same play two times in a row, he basically said "alright guys same play". Hilarious.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco have to get this award. For other positions it is a bit easier to get the hang of the speed of the NFL because the focus is never soely on the shoulders of an outside linebacker or a wide out. Middle linebacker and quarterback are the two most demanding positions for a rookie and Ryan and Flocco both stepped in on terrible football teams and made a positive impact.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

yeah..poor norv..he was always a good coach even when he was here

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

tony romo

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Delhomme & McNabb (unfortunately for us) appear to be back.
Turner is a monster.

Units that impressed:
Chicago's OL, who was much maligned in the off-season HANDLED Indy.
Steelers OL

Those that didn't impress:
Al Saunders offense in STL (LOL)

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

[quote=htownskinfan;474077]tony romo[/quote]

He impressed me too but I wasn't going to be the first one to admit it.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

I'm giving it to Michael "The Burner" Turner and Matt Ryan. I've been waiting all these years to see what Turner could do if he was a featured back in an offense and needless to say he didn't disappoint me in his starting debut. Matt Ryan also did a lot better than most rookie quarterbacks I've seen over the years.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

I'd give the credit to Dallas's OL before Romo. He had all freaking day to throw back there. It was ridiculous.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

How about fast Willie Parker written for dead before the season? That boy is back.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Derrick Frost.......of the Green Bay Packers! Nice Punt!

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Jake Delhomme to Dante Rosario. To crush ole Norvells home season openers game winning plans.

Great pass and catch with zero on the clock!

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Adrian Peterson just laid Al Harris the f*** out. The dude is a beast.

Did he..........Wow!!!!

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

AD- Adrian Peterson, and he hasnt even finished yet, that how a runninng back suppose to run, I said when he was a rookie, we should have traded Portis and our first rounder for Cleveland which i think they had the 3rd pick, this would have changed alot........

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

I'm not giving it to anyone on either of Pennsylvania's teams. Yeah, Fast Willie and Donovan looked great (Desean Jackson is a stud folks), but St. Louis and Houston have awful defenses. I don't think the Steelers or the Eagles are as good as they appeared yesterday, although I do think they're both playoff bound.

If I had to pick one guy it would be Michael Turner, but I'd like to tip my hat to the entire Falcons team. Left for dead before the year even started, Matt Ryan had a solid debut, they hung up 34 points, averaged over 8 yards per play, and have a good reason to hold their heads high heading into week 2. Good for them.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

I was impressed with the ATL but I have a feeling in a few weeks we'll see just how bad Detroit is, at least defensively.

Oh no doubt. The Lions D is about as strong as wax paper. But with a rookie head coach, a first time starting RB, a rookie QB, and a team that overall everyone thought would be the league's whipping post, the Falcons played very well.

How Matt Millen STILL has a job is one of the biggest travesties in the history of pro sports. Seriously.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Imagine how Lions fans are feeling today? They probably had yesterday penciled in as an easy W. LOL

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Reggie Bush......who we face this week.

[quote=Warren85Ellard;474137]Reggie Bush......who we face this week.[/quote]

Solid choice. He had a nice week, except for that fumble when he got jacked up.

Re: The NFL Player That You Were Most Impressed With After Week 1
 

Reggie Bush for sure (plus he's on my fantasy team, thanks for the W), Matt Forte was impressive, I hate to give props to the Cowpunks but Romo looked really good yesterday, extremely accurate..
