Pic that MIC up you showboat :)

Ah this brings back the fond memories of Beckham having a temper tantrum last year when covered by Rhodes. He had a bad night, too. So sweet.

It's remarkable how good of a player Rhodes has developed into. Seeing him mentally break top receivers is starting to become the norm.

Great pick and extension by Spelly.

That draft:

Floyd - fell to us - I think was going to be very good, not great, not pro bowl just very good - no real injury history in college so can't blame Spelly for what is probably a career ender.  But overall a decent first round pick.

Rhodes - stud - one of the best in the NFL - great pick

Patterson - moved up for him - never developed beyond top ST player - excellent return/gunner but not what you wanted for a move up first rounder - bad pick.

Rhodes went ‘too far’
Cornerback Xavier Rhodes has now held two of the NFL’s best receivers, Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans and Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown, to 67 and 62 yards, respectively, without a touchdown to either. But Rhodes said he went “too far” at one point in Sunday’s win, when he was flagged for taunting Evans after Trae Waynes intercepted Jameis Winston.
“It was just heat of the moment, heat of the battle,” Rhodes said. “One of those moments you’re out there fighting for your teammates. You and your opponent going at it, went too far.”

For as good as he is, he is pretty humble.

well his humility cost us 15 on sunday,  but its good to see a little fire once in a while.  it lets the opposition know that he isnt a punk bitch.  however i dont want to see it again anytime soon as those little things can swing momentum so fast.   when things are going good these guys have to keep their heads and their composure and just keep walking the walk and let their results talk the talk.

Agree, someone needs to calm Digg's down.

Expect Delays For The Next 3 Hours, Rhodes Closed...

I agree,  I noticed that 2 years ago as a rookie that I thought if he really broke out that we might have a horrible combination of diva and hot head on our hands.  however I think he is more down to earth that I initially thought and he seems to be keeping his emotions better in-check as well.

I thought for sure he was going to head down the Diva
path.  I’m not sure but I think Thielen outperforming
him last year might have checked his ego a little bit.

or perhaps just hanging with AT and his small town attitude has made a difference.  IMO it would be hard to act like you are above shit all the time.  at some point when you see people being normal people wouldnt you want to come down and join them?

Rhodes made a comment about Diggs in his post game interview.  He was asked about going against Diggs in practice.  He said that he is a fierce competitor, will never quit.  So part of it is that, but the showboating is getting old.

I wasnt real impressed with the strut into the endzone and then about getting tackled short,  but the rest of the time Im not seeing much to get worked up over.

kinda sending a mixed message there P, punk bullshit is exactly what you are going to get with the Diva attitude that you are OK with.  I am perfectly fine with the first down thing he does... as long as he doesnt do it when we are getting our asses kicked and somebody gives up a first down in a prevent D... 

I dont really see a steve smith at all,  smith in his prime played a very very physical game,  Diggs is nothing like that IMO.

I guess I'm not bothered by anything Diggs does. I was more bothered by Rhodes' taunt by far. Diggs celebrates, Rhodes taunts. Big difference.
