Shuler was definetly underrated. When the Jets had him the offense really clicked. As to the Keller choice, I liked it as soon as I found out he was the state high jump champ in HS and had a 38'' vertical leap at the combine. I figured he would solve our red zone performance, one of the biggest problems of the '07 season. But in the end that problem got solved by getting BF.
I am still wrong. Keller played a great game and even mixed it up with some decent blocking. That Harstock signing is going to make Keller a much better player. Hartstock had the key block on TJ's long TD run and Schotty did a great job of splitting Keller out wide.
he's always a tough matchup. if sanchez uses him as a crutch in his rookie year it'll go that much smoother.
How did Hartsock play? I didn't pay much attention to him... I hope he proves to be a valuable contribution to this team
73klecko, my respect level jumped for you today after you bumped your own post to own up. I honestly had no idea what to think on draft day last year when we grabbed Keller, but I was excited as hell watching the highlights they showed. He's turned into a great weapon for us.
