I'm not going to get too excited about Simonise yet as he was working in the 4th quarter against players who may not make the final 53 with the Vikings. That said, I did like his energy and would be happy to have him on the practice squad at least. Or if he makes our roster I'd be fine with that. Basically I trust the coaches.
The same goes for Alex Erickson, though everything we saw last night looked great. Sure he was open for the TD but he still did catch it (sometimes guys won't) and turned and got into the endzone. The edge run got 3 yards but almost went for more. And of course there was the punt return -- this was the flashiest moment, but also the one that probably came against some guys pretty far back on the depth chart. Anyways, I hope he's doing the same stuff in training camp and that he makes the 53 but if not, I trust the coaches to know the right call.
