You don't draft a future TE in the 2nd round. Nearly all the TEs Dallas is trying to emulate for their #2 TE has was taken well later in the draft with only Gronk being taken high.

I wouldn't have taken him, especially with holes on the OL and DL. It's ridiculous.

Wake me when we actually draft a TE because......

A. Witten is coming off a major injury
B. Witten is a year away from retirement
C. He is dead

Until then they can shove every hyped excuse as to why the organization took another TE clone of the one before who had very little impact in whatever time he spends here before leaving unceremoniously up their glory holes.

I love how Jerry couldn't stop talking about the 2 TE offense all off-season long and then we abandoned it by Week 4. Innovator!

When I win that bet, just find someone that looks like they can use $100, and give it to them.

Just as the scouting reports suggested, Mathieu has played well in all aspects of the game:

Overall Run Defense Pass Rush Coverage
14.3 3.5 2 6.3
.
Currently our No. 2 cornerback, Mathieu’s all-around game has led to his +14.3 overall grade. His +3.5 grade against the run ranks fifth among cornerbacks while his +2.0 pass rush grade ranks second. His eight stops in the run game and 3.3 percent Run Stop Percentage are both tied for fifth, while his Pass Rush Productivity of 23.7 is tops at the position. Not only has he been successful rushing the passer, but he’s also leading all cornerbacks with 39 blitz attempts.*See him below, entering the screen from the left:



Again, the Cardinals are making good use of his talents.

When you add it all up, you’re not getting a classic “shutdown” cornerback in the Darrelle Revis mold, but Mathieu’s ability to play over the slot, provide linebacker-like run support and rush the passer from all angles, make him one of the league’s most versatile defensive players.

Those Antoine Winfield comps are looking good. So far.

If that's from PFF, they have Alan Ball rated as the 16th best CB I think

Side note... 2 catches puts him at 7 for the year. Just needs 13 more in the last 3 games!
