Celebrating the Ninja Goro bllog site redesign with some posts on Mike Goodson and Ron Bartell.

Goodson is an exciting player. Good speed and great vision and seems to be a very nice match for the zone blocking system. Has a tendency to bounce instead of hitting it up and showed the mistake of trying to reverse field. A few great open-space, jock-dropper cuts and a big stiff arm. He needs some seasoning and definitely needs to get that fumbling problem fixed. He could be a nice one, though.

I would love to see him get an offseason in with DMC and make the improvement that DMC did when he really changed his focus and attitude.

Bartell. The more I see, the more I like. Of course, he was a premier-level corner two years ago, before his injury, but now he's a $3M question mark. Rust. Age. Injury. Yikes. But I really want to see where he's at. He's got similarities to Charles Woodson and I'd like to see if he can have an impact on the defense like CWood did with Green Bay.

I'm excited about both these guys. They could both be large contributors to the team in 2012 and their upside is huge.

btw, notice that the site is redesign and has moved to a new url. The old site has gone dark and I'll be migrated some of that content as I have time for it.
