Game day

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

They can't cut Cha Chaz Green quick enough.

 

[GNG]

Chez green and Brown are penalty machines.

There are always lots of penalties called in preseason games.

 

[GNG]

Our back up o-line is playing awful.

It's only preseason.

The point is not about preseason, it is about Chez Green preseason, regular season, it does not matter he always gets flagged.

First unit looked good. After that, not so much.

Sounds like your next song.

Rico Gathers just made the team.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

Off topic - I saw it last Thanksgiving. The Pats, Jags, Steelers better watch out. The Bolts look pretty dang good.

I hate to knock any player on our team but Chaz Green just has been bad.

That's not breaking news.

Well Green was awful last regular season too.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

That's not breaking news.

Didn’t intend on it to be. I just normally don’t talk bad about our players. He has been hard to watch

Rico Gathers just made the team.

It's funny right before that play I said "we gotta go to Rico here and see if he can make a play' and he did. He just completely overpowered that guy. But, the drop offsets it. You can't be 50% in this league. I was hoping they would have throw him the ball 4 or 5 times to give him a chance to show his ability. It was funny when Spears said he needs guys around him. Hopefully he gets some PT in week 3. Obviously he will play a lot in week 4.

So far my all too soon and based on not enough data take on this team from what I have seen is the starters and the group of guys right behind them that are expected to contribute and play a lot have for the most part been very good. The bubble guys and guys likely on the wrong side of the bubble have been pretty poor. Our 3rd and 4th string defense has looked horrible against the other teams similar guys. Good news is most of them won't be on the team. Bad news is some will due to injury/PS.

We may need another OL with M Martin out. I think Edwards has been OK.

Wondering if the bottom of the 53 CBs will be not quite as good as I was hoping. Brown obviously not playing well. Lewis hasn't been great and a lot of the guys fighting for the #5 spot have been poor. I think we need to swap out Brown and Lewis and see what changes. Lewis just looks so much the better prospect

Neither backup QB has been too good, but they only play if injury anyway. Not sure we can keep 3 if we can't be sure at least one can be a lot better than they have been. Rush was fine last year so he has it in him and White still looks the better long term prospect so hopefully they both step up and we are able to keep both.

I was hoping for Price or Ash to win a roster spot and give us a big DL to clog the middle. Price completely blew up a play and overpowered his guy. But Woods has just told them both to hold his beer so far...

All of this of course is based on a few preseason snaps and can change in a heart beat.

The guys that matter look ready for the season and ready to play well.

Most important issue is hearing about those injuries. A lot of important players right now that we need to keep an eye on. I suspect we won't play the top first team guys as much as normal week 3 based on the current injury report.

I just don't get why he is on the team right now. He plain sucks.

Last comment for now and this deserves it's own post. Heath has been pretty good so far.
Yup, I said it and I think it's true.

I always said he is a horrible FS and the Cowboys playing him in one deep sets made me question the coaches and wonder if they ever even watched film of him. BUT, in the box and as a SS and without that responsibility he has been much better so far. If Woods is OK (big, big question right now) I think Heath and Frazier may be decent at SS on early downs. It's just the nickel where we need to figure something out and I am still very worried.

We just have zero safety depth right now. If Woods is out for a while we have to bring in someone who is more than just a camp body and with Showers looking like he definitely will be out I think we sign at least one guy this week and maybe two if Huff isn't ready to play.

Because you need camp bodies and you need to play 2nd and, 3rd units. Did you think Campos looked any better? Want to leave T Smith and Collins out there after seeing what happened to Frederick and Martin? Him being on the roster now and being on the 53 are totally different topics. We absolutely need him right now, but I don't think he has much of a chance at all to be on the 53 so I wouldn't be too worried.

 

[Godstree]

Heath........He seems to be able to blow up a play in a big hurry. Maybe this is his year to break out.
