I hope this bodes well for Pate this year. It would be nice to see him return to top form. Prior to his series of injuries, he seemed like he could have become a consistent 28-footer. He'll be 30 this summer.

I'm surprised Noffke isn't jumping further, considering he's now coached by Mike Edwards..

not a bad start for the season!
