    For me when he was healthy it was Daniel Thomas. I love his burst, power, speed and vision. I am under the impression that sooner or later he is going to break a long run for a touchdown mutiple times. I just noticed this when I watch him play.

    So who is it for you guys that impressed you the most?

    Pouncey has done a decent job.

    Daniel Thomas has looked real good when he's actually playing.

    Brandon Fields is phenomenal. If not for him, we'd be losing games by even larger margins.

    Brandon Fields has been one of the best for the past two years. So, he's always impressed.

    Brian Hartline does nice things when he gets the opportunity, but he doesn't get enough. I wonder if that is a product of trying to get Marshall the ball or he not being able to consistently get open.

    Daniel Thomas has impressed in limited duty. However, his lack of durability isn't impressive.

    Mik Pouncey has done some things well.

    I'd probably go with Daniel Thomas as the most impressive.

    The other day I was watching NFL Red Zone. It was hilarious because Jason Allen was covering Derek Hagan. Then a moment later there was a run by Lorenzo Booker in the Vikes game. Random, I know.

    Also, Daniel Thomas, Mike Pouncey, Brian Hartline

    Yeah I have to agree with just about all of you on this. They were pretty impressive.

    I have been impressed with Jimmy Wilson. He's made really just one big mistake that jumps out at me. Otherwise, he seems to always be around the ball. I mentioned it in another thread, but Jimmy Wilson may have the best ball skills of any defensive back on this team. With his size, I've been curious to see if he could make the move to free safety. He's a rookie, and it looks like they are taking things slow with him. He's a far better player than Nolan Carroll at this point though.

    Pity about Nolan Carroll though, he looked good late last yr as the wide side Cb, this yr though, his only decent game was vs SD, otherwise he has not been very good.

    Wilson just has not quite played enough to make my list, I like his game but he has not delivered one of those bone crushing hits he was known for in college....yet.

    Yeah, he hasn't played that much, but in his limited time, he has half the team's total interceptions on the year, and he's tied for the team lead in passes defensed. The kid has some natural ball skills.

    I've been impressed with our whole secondary.

    Seriously, its impressive how clueless they look. I dont know if I could look that clueless if I tried to look clueless standing out there.

    After Ginn was traded Hartline was supposed to replace him as the speed WR but that experiment did not work out as no one respected hs speed and defenses jammed the line of scrimmage.

    He is really a possesion WR and he is particularly impressive on the sideline catches.:yes:

    3 sacks in 4 games? Pretty good stats, IMO. And he's always in the QBs neighborhood. I think Wake is a player playing very well, but because the rest of the defense is suckin' wind it's going unnoticed.

    Good point...Hartline has made some real impressive sideline grabs this year. Would love if he could do the same thing near the corner of the endzone on fades =D

    That Dan Marino guy really caught my eye, I like him!

    On a serious note, Thomas, when healthy, has seemed like a beast, and Pouncey looks even better than advertised. W/ he and Long, we at least have the makings of a good line eventually. It's tough when the entire right side is a swinging gate. Odrick hasn't been all that bad at times either, but I think he gets lost in the fact that the DL as a whole has been mostly a no-show so far this year. But he's made a few plays, and is likley part of the eventual solution.
