    Same here. Chop it up to a "welcome to the NFL" hit he simply wasn't ready for. The bigger concern is ball handling. He didn't fumble because he got hit, he fumbled because the other guy knocked it out of his hands before he got hit. That's unacceptable. You can't just let them knock the ball out by touching it.

    I agree, I love the guy, but we're going to have to take some bad with the good. Especially as a rookie. I expect there to be some fumbles and missed time.

    Agree with HS.. Anyone remember Mendenhall as a rookie. He could not hang on to the ball to save his life. Now he has improved dramatically.. Rainey will be the same.

    As I said in my previous post, he will get killed if used to much,
    Haley is smart enough to know this. As you all saw in the game against the Colts,
    i beleive a safety intoduced him to the NFL, just think what Ray Lewis would have done
    to him?
