Peerless Price

Anybody see him get lit up tonight? I just saw a highlight where he went up for a bal and got absolutely nailed in the ribs, but I can't find anything on his status.

Jeez. Who hit him? Hope he's okay

He really can't afford to get hurt. He has been sliding down Jim Mora's depth chart this entire offseason.

I think I heard on ESPN this morning that he is going to be out for a couple of weeks, not sure? I watched the highlights and you're right , GA he got rocked....Vick played well though from what I saw

is it possible given the type of QB the Vick is, you have to run a lot of possesion routes in the middle, and short routes as well that give zone defenses a easier chance for big hits? Peerless was the weapon in 98 that FSU couldnt defend, I'm amazed at hearing things like hes barely talented enough to keep a job.

Price is a good WR but has had some issues with route running as well as holding onto the football. The frustration in Atlanta though is not really that he's not a good receiver, it's mainly that they shelled out some serious cash and he hasn't shown the ability to go out and be a #1 receiver. He's turned into a salary cap liability.

Hopefully, if Roddy White and Michael Jenkins pan out, Price can go back to being a really good 2nd or 3rd receiver and excel.
