It was the other times, when he looked undersized and, at times, outclassed, that worried some. "I feel I've improved from last year, being that it was my rookie year," he said.|||||||
How well Ferguson performs directly impacts the team's passing game, in particular, since he must protect QB Chad Pennington. Expect him to struggle again.
