Did Roberts play last night and if so did he play well?
@PP_Rich_Hill: Only saw one completion on Darryl Roberts and he was in coverage of Jordy Nelson (a top 10 WR). Good start for the young guy.
Yep. I just hope his hand injury isn't too serious.Roberts was given the opportunity to play against the #1's of one of the top offenses in the NFL And he looked fine. He couldn't be picked on. That is a major plus for any rookie.

YesI agree, but a hand injury shouldn't keep off the roster. Roberts needed to show a little bit in the preseason to show that he was worthy of the 53. He was given the opportunity and he succeeded.
Agree. Only thing to not like about the O is the 3rd down rb options.Love your optimism for the secondary. I am not quite as sold as you but I think it's being greatly under sold because it's not Revis.
However I don't share your opinion on the offense. And how can you use last night as evidence of anything. No Gronk, Blount, Stork, Edelman, LaFell, Chandler, Solder, and I think I am still missing a few.
This offense should be as lethal as any in the last decade. Maybe a little shy of 07 but that year was just nuts.
Maybe I missed some plays but I thought Fletcher actually didn't look to bad last night.

Darryl Roberts injured his hand/wrist last night, per source. He went for x-rays to see the extent of the damage. That's all I know for now.
Ryan in man coverage sucks. That is a fact. In his rookie year he had i think 2or3 INT but i think in zone coverage. Last year in man, Rodgers torched him and he let 2 major plays in SB.I see a lot of Arrington in Logan Ryan. Good Ball skills, strong tackler, better on underneath crossing patterns, lack of elite athleticism, physical enough for some but not others, and a habit of playing poorly on big stages.
Ryan plays certain receivers well and struggles on others like Arrington. The Pats didn't draft him with the expectation that he'd ever become a #1 corner, so people should stop expecting him to be that, but for the time being while he makes $750,000 a year, he's a good value as a #3 corner on the roster. Like Arrington when they find someone younger and cheaper he'll get the boot.
CB's are exposed a lot more than other positions on the roster. We have a lot of Logan Ryan's on the team, they just don't stand out as much because when they mess up it doesn't always get noticed.
I thought Fletcher played fine.
One play in particular stood out. Green Bay in the red zone, maybe five yard line, spread formation - quick pass to Fletcher's man in isolation. Fletcher tackled him in space for maybe a yard. He had perfect spacing and distance, low base, waited for the receiver to commit, and then sat him down. Perfect technique on that play. .

He is good for zone and probably BB is gonna go from last year man with Revis coverage to zone, so Ryan probably stays. But we all know that when man ll happen we are screwed.
