    There has been some grumbling about the Fins rookie class not doing much.

    Today three rookies... three huge plays.

    1. Jordan fills the hole at the goal line preventing the Falcons running back from score AND GETTING THE FIRST DOWN. Falcons settle for three.
    2. D Jones sticks the Falcons punt returner causing a game changing fumble... three plays later TD Hartline.
    3. Dion Simms one handed TD catch

    Three rookies, three huge plays that led to the Fins win....

    Sims is a wash cause that fumble was all his fault, but overall, im pleased. They looked good. jordan's definitely a guy you notice out there.

    and, though he ain't a rookie, EGNEW CAUGHT A PASS! He also looks HUGE!

    Jordan hits Matt Ryan ever so slightly as he throws, causing an interception.

    Jordan hit Ryan on the arm to force that Wilson INT.

    True...but Tanny's got to start seeing these things coming and tuck it up.

    not a wash. that catch Sims made with the defender holding his one arm was a great catch to win the game.

    it was, arguably, the best pass tannehill has ever thrown. He literally could not have thrown it better. Im thrilled sims caught it, but i don't think he did much to do it.

    Here is to Taylor/Davis staying healthy the rest of the way so once Patterson comes back we might be able to put Nolan where he belongs...a #4/5 CB.

    He makes 50 yard field goals look like PAT's. Dude's leg is ridiculous and every kick is right down the pipe.

    Can't believe there wasn't flag on that play. though of course it would have been declined. Still should have been, in case the pass is dropped. Usually a Ron Winter crew has more flags flying than a Chinese laundry with all the workers high on opium.

    And Taylor/Davis have barely played this regular season. Dallas Thomas... :pity:

    BTW, Sturgis should be rookie of the year...

    A wash? Maybe if he didn't catch that TD. He did hence...I disagree.

    That particular crew is one of the worse officiating crews in the league if my memory serves me. Anyone agree?

    Thomas should have been a guard from day one. Then maybe we would have better competition for John Jerry and at least one of the guard spots possibly set for next season. The guy is sooo not a tackle.

    I agree, but Winters crew is flag happy most of the time, and when they should have thrown a few flags today they kept them in their pockets

    Beautiful. And more rookies are almost ready to contribute. (Davis and Taylor)....also Saw Jenkins on a few 3rd downs today. Didnt hear his name good or bad, so imo thats a good thing.
