He is neither fast nor quick 

More so than Erickson.

Despite that I'm honestly fine with Erickson. I'm not holding my breath every time he's receiving a punt and his awareness on chasing down the football after it touched the foot of his teammate was pretty clutch.

Maybe I read that wrong…I meant Ericson is not fast or quick. He secures the ball for sure which is much better than than not and the heads up play with the live-ball recovery was crucial. There’s just no threat of him gaining more than 10 yards on returns.

Reminds me of Bersin… I mean like they’re both white.

Zylstra is much better than Bersin, but I'm not sure if I would consider him Proehl-lite either.  I guess he's in the middle somewhere.

Zylstra came out and caught a pass just about each time he was on the field. There are plays, I'd guess, that are drawn up just for him. Opposing teams see him as 5th or 6th on the depth chart thinking he's just a scrub and worthy of single coverage by a LB or maybe a safety. Truth is that there's a murderer's row sitting in front of him and he's good, sneaky good.

Good on him! Enough games like that and we'll sadly be waving 'bye to him this offseason while he goes and gets the big check somewhere.

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
