Unfortunately, I was out of town for the first week of practice so I can't comment on his performance. Riley ranged from below average to above average throughout the spring; he was never terrible, but he was never nearly as good as we saw in the AF bowl. Mansion struggled, especially early on. He was learning the entire play book and running our offense for the first time, since he ran the scout team last fall, and he looked like a guy who was taking in a lot of information and thinking too much. He improved throughout the spring, and he definitely has the tools (arm, legs) to be very good. Nate does have a pec tear and it kept him from throwing and taking snaps after the first week.

Even if you took away his miraculous hit/forced fumble on Colvin (and overlook the late hit earlier that game), he was having a great season before he went down. One reason he may not have stood out in the spring was because most of the emphasis for the DBs was on pass defense, and he is a better tackler than a coverage guy. The DBs who DID stand out to me were Syd, Amadi, and Jesse Brooks, in that order.

How are Riley and Mansion looking? If you have the time I would love to know. Thanks. Vote Riley 2008 - Real Change - Endorsed by Barack Obama!
