The few times I saw Caldwell play when he was with SD, I was not impressed. I felt like he was a bit soft and shied away from hits. His short time with the Patriots has done nothing to change my mind, until today. He may not have caught that ball, but he took a huge hit and came back into the game.

Yeah, when he walked off the field I looked in his eyes and saw nobody home. Someone else mentioned that he was back in the next series. Good game, Reche.

I unfortunately was not able to see the game but from what I've read here it sounds like that was the kind of hit that would have put China Doll Branch out for at least 8 weeks.

put it this way, after that hit, I was more concerned with whether Caldwell was still breathing than whether or not he'd be coming back into the game.

Caldwell was pretty tough, no question, but no dissin' Branch, here. He took a lot of big hits and held onto the ball. He made a lot of great catches. I'm still proud of what he did as a Patriot.

We will call him Timexman.

Takes a licking but keeps on ticking.

That was the biggest hit layed on a Patriot that I've seen in a long time. There was no way anyone could have caught that. You could see that Reche caught it, had it securely tucked it while in stride then SMACK, there was no way anyone was holding onto that, or very few would.

thank you for mentioning this J.

NOBODY brought that up after the game...they were all just playing armchair officals on the hit when the big story was how RC responded to it.

Let's keep our fingers crossed on how he responds from here on...that was brutal and even though he showed a TON of physical toughness there (that I didn't know he had), the second part of the response is getting over it mentally the next time he goes over the middle.
