Rhode Island Updates 8/25/2008

• Rhode Islander Rocco Baldelli has come back to the big leagues and is playing well. He hit his 2nd homerun. He is batting strictly vs lefties and is hitting .308. You can't help but cheer for him.


• Matt Sherry is in camp with the Bengals and saw game action vs the Packers and played well, making some nice blocks and was thrown to once but the pass was high. He sat out in the second game, I dont know if it was an injury or no playing time.


• Will Blackmon has been playing consitently well on defense and special teams. He has a 43 yard punt return vs the Broncos. He should have the starting Punt Return spot but has competion in rookie J. Nelson from K-State. Blackmon is also fighting for the nickle spot.


• Reports from Colts camp is East Providence's Jamie Silva is fighting an up hill battle for a spot but he is flying around the ball and making some big hits. I think with his work ethic and he special teams contributions he will find work in the NFL somewhere
