How did Rouse play ?

[PackOne]

I can't even remember hearing his name mentioned all game. Can I get an analysis please....

 

[bozz_2006]

you didn't hear his name = no mess-ups.

ipso facto, he played fine.

Well since the Vikes couldn't get out of their own way through 3 quarters in the passing game, I would be hard to say either way because they never really tested him.

But as Bozz stated.. no gaffs to reports and seemed to be up around the ball on the running plays.. kid will be alright..

This week might not be much more of a test.. Carolina might trot out a RB to play QB this week if things don't get better on their end soon.

 

[bozz_2006]

he whiffed on a couple tackles, but also layed a couple big hits. i thought he played fine

 

[brennan1884]

mccarthy saod he graded out...which means no ral errors, likewise for the rest of the team since we shut out the vikings

Exactly. I forgot he was even playing till the 3rd quarter, then the next play Rouse and Harris killed AP.

I think he also learned you have to wrap them up in this league. He put the pads to a couple of guys and they didn't go down so he's still got to put what worked in college in the past.

Considering it being his first start he's got a ton of upside.

Again. Aint depth grand. Two years ago we would have been starting someone nobody has ever heard of and now we have third rounders with some ability to bring in when needed.

Big difference.

He was the starting safety on a defense that shut out an NFL offense.

i think he did pretty good.

he had a pretty good lick on Robert Ferguson going out of bounds too if i remember correctly. thats good enough for a game ball in my opinion.

 

[brennan1884]

if nothing else this game time experience could prove invaluable for the future...who knows what will happen with collins in the future, its always good to have depth with game time experience....

go pack

Big difference.

Half way through the season and I am willing to conceed, that the talent base is heads above the last 2 to 3 years.. I am a believer that while in some areas we might be a bit weaker, overall, it is a much stronger and deeper team that we have seen in a number of years.

Rouse actually laid a shattering hit on Chester Taylor in one play. It was nice.

 

[Zombieslayer]

He gave up 2 TDs deep to Robert Ferguson. He needs to be canned asap.

 

[PackinSteel]

Defensive coordinator Bob Sanders said rookie safety Aaron Rouse "had a couple missed tackles, but certainly was in excellent position most of the day" in his first NFL start. McCarthy called Rouse's effort "solid," despite three missed three tackles. ... Sanders said the linebackers "probably had their best game overall as a unit." ...

 

[porky88]

He did miss a tackle on I believe Chester Taylor. He did ok I would say. Nothing horrible but nothing outstanding either.

 

[brennan1884]
