I liked the Kid too. I agree he seems pretty cocky but he's 19...thats what they do and his skill level is that of most of the vets. His interview was fine and I didn't find him overly cocky there.
Joe's was sad because other than being a Dad and Husband, this is probably his most pride and joy. I love him and he's cute such a beautiful wife and children and he should have been interviewed later in the evening instead of immediately following. Joe was always one of the ones whos speculated could make it all the way and for him to fall in stage 1 was a huge disappointment since he knows his consistency and that he can do it. I empathize with his emotions, and I've been there myself (in a very different non-ninja setting).
My all way possibilities at this point - Philly Phoenix Najee Richardson, Drew Dreschel, Papal Ninja Sean Bryan, Heck, maybe jamie Rahn after the shoeless run. I couple of the newer guys put together great runs. Tyle Gillete, Josh Levin always. Austin grey' super fast but super inexperienced. Ryan stratis has has a really good year and the bearded buddy
