The jury is still out on Arnold. He's trying to progress thru his reads and takes too long to throw the ball. He will lead the world in sacks if he doesn't improve quickly. The defense looked terrible early on. Gotta hope that the stars who weren't playing will reverse that. I didn't see a running back who stood out from the crowd. That's not good, but Sawchuck will help with that area of concern. Best thing: There did not appear to be any serious injuries.
Well, thanks for throwing Purdue under the bus. Walters was left a mess by Brohm, and had to try to totally rebuild an offense with Burks, Card, and other newcomers. Burks has talent obviously but the knock on him was that he disappeared too often when Card was on the run and needed help. The radio guys talked about this time and again. Maybe Anthony will never be on the run and need creativity from his receivers. But, yeah, he's great on the initial set.
I mean, they were 4-8 and he was their most prolific receiver.
But I appreciate your analysis and will keep it in mind watching Burks in the future. If that's the knock, it sounds like he'll benefit from playing alongside Farooq, Anderson.
