You think he was intimidated?

I think he's just a rookie, that's all. It's a huge step up to the NFL, lot's to think about. Dude is awesome already and will only get better.

No more or less than any other game he’s played.

If you’re in the NFL, every team can and is trying to rip your heart out.

I have no doubt he wanted to show up the Steelers and excel on prime time TV so it was probably over excitement versus cowardice that caused the early mistakes.

Agreed. OG is on a good team of coaches and teammates. I think he'll work things out just fine.

Yep - and again, not overlooking the Jags but I thought the same thing.

But first things first, beat the Jags

Jags are no joke. A few wks ago they beat Hou, SF and KC one after the other.

My question about intimidated was to dmac who said he didn't think Gadsden had his head in the game. My guess would be he was thinking past securing the catch and kinda skipped a step. Agree about getting better.

good news!!!! For a change

So the Giants fired Daboll and the CBS,com article had Minter's picture on it. Yeah, we aren't going to have him around next year.

As of now - I think its guys sometimes have an off day and nothing more. I don't think he was intimidated, I think he lost that extra focus and attention / concentration that is needed in the NFL. OG is a hard worker, I have complete confidence going right back to him this Sunday. For just how "bad" he was - I think we are still talking 3 plays, 4 max.

yeah, your take - i think his mind was skipping ahead, not staying right there in the moment and second. nothing I'm worried about. we got thru without it costing us, and he got a valuable lesson to carry forward and build from.

Just a very promising rookie having a bad game.

The story will be the bounce back.

Last week the worry was McConkey’s career was over.

So I just finally watched his presser and the pop pass was Keenan's idea. Nice of the guys to oblige.
