Our #1 pick last year is rarely discussed anymore. When your number 1 from last year sort of disappears I begin to wonder was he the right choice? Is he going to be worthy of a #1 this year? I do not know but just wondering.

Well, considering he didn't get to play for a large part of the season, you can't really judge that. Besides, we're not talking a lot about Bert Berry...does that mean he sucks now? Bad, bad logic here. The kid played well before he was injured...he'll be fine now that he's healthy.

There's not a whole lot to tak about. It seems everyone agrees that helooked pretty good when he played.About the only time he's mentioned is if someome mentions him moving to safety.

Yep. Seems to me like the only players that we are talking about are the ones that are questionable (OLine), not the ones we think are solid.

I see it as a good thing. As no one is talking about him becuase we arent talking about replacing him.

In the time he had I think he played pretty darn well for a rookie

Who's Rolle? J/K but I still catch myself forgeting he's a Cardinal. To much lost time. Hopefully he plays like he showed he can, without getting injured this year.

With Rolle missing the majority of last year, its like we will have 2 first round picks this year. I liked what I saw of Rolle, and feel confident he will be good to go.

Getting Rolle back is like having two top 10 picks in the draft this year, Almost better then that because we know Rolle is no bust. The injuries were so ridiculous last year, I think this team will be dramatically better when healthy!!

I was not implying anything good or bad. Just that he has been off of our radar which for a #1 pick the previous year is unusual. We spent 10 times more post on McCown and we all knew he was out of here.

That's because we're pretty sure we can count on him this year. Like I said, we don't talk a lot about Berry, but he's going to be money for us. Same with Rolle.

I to love the way Rolle played when healthy. I also thought Macklin has done a good job for us and do not understand why Green is down on him. It may just be his size. If Rolle can be one I have not problem with Maklin at 2.

Rolle was impressive. I think he might be a good corner but I know he would make a great saftey...

Eitherway he will be good.

Tell you what I liked during the limited time we got to see him.

I've noticed that good teams teach their defensive players to get real low and "rise out of the ground" to take on the ballcarrier. When you do this (including wrapping up), you gain leverage and seldom miss a one-on-one tackle. I think Antrel has had this kind of coaching and it shows in the consistency of his tackling.
