1 sack and 1 qb hit, not pressure.

Yeah, especially coming off of injuries.

I'm not crucifying Price, by the way. I'm in no way saying he is a bust or any noise like that, playing center is tough and the guys who did it well early are more exceptions.

And what multiple grading outlets are yoy referencing ?? Please dont just say what seems to be the google of info in the NFl lol...i thought for a rookie he did ok, we did not have a ton of pressures , we ran the ball much better i did not see a ton of penalties and dont remember  too many bad snaps

Price was bad, idk how that’s even debatable. Hopkins outplayed him at C. Doesn’t mean he’s a bust, but let’s not pretend he was better than he was either.

Let’s see what a different OL coach (and hopefully a healthy season) brings.

Whew. Felt pretty bad there. Glad to hear she’s ok.

Ok, that's still pretty damn good for a rookie who basically could not train since the combine

I think the media must have just voted on who started instead of who really played well

I see this argument, but Price missed several games due to injury.  I think they were generous in his case due to the difficulty in starting as a rookie at that position.  

Leaving Hubbard out is inexcusable, though.  He was our most impactful rookie, followed closely by Bates.

Bates actually played well, and deserves any recognition he gets.

Eh, in ten years, both trophies will look exactly the same sitting on a shelf.

Really? Haven't heard that, he didn't play as well as i hoped for a rookie but the guy was injured. He deserves a pass.

Yeah, Hubbard was our 2nd best rookie and had a fine year. Should of been honored.

Congrats to Bates, dude was really good and even tackled well which was his one knock coming out of college.

Could have a future star Safety on our hands.
