Blinkscout PS game 1 ... Cowboys ...

I tend to not read what others write before doing this so as to not be jaded ...

Also, my PS game focuses are generally more focused on the younger players struggling to make the team ... or new players form FA.


The Good

1) Mike Jordan and the final CB spot ... (not just him but the depth behind him) ... I liked him last year and see him as a possible eventual starter after some more reps .. and his play was pretty stellar, even though in the second half. The passes he got his hands on to break up were good passes. the INT was great instincts coming off his man to track down an errant throw.

2) Omarius Bryant ... Looks like our backup NT. He is a big, powerful dude. I was hoping he'd look like what I remembered, and he did. He obviously can't handle high reps yet ... but his pocket pushing is a good sign.

3) Everett. Guy moves like a WR. I'm excited. Im drafting him in fantasy this year for sure.

4) Kupp ... the first down he somehow got, more than anything ... balance, power and enough burst to beat an angle. I do not like him dropping the ball, but I'll chalk that up to jitters.

5) Whitworth. Mountain of a man.

6) Ejuan Price ... Showed me what I wanted .. that somehow he possesses speed and moves that do not show up in testing.

7) Longacre and Fox ... guys look like they were built for a 3-4 ...

8) Aggressive defensive back play. Across the board.

9) Llorens ... not his burst, but he seems slippery ... hope he makes the PS.

10) Davis' speed (JUST HIS SPEED)

11) Robey Coleman ... playing like he's fighting for his life.

12) Goff looked comfy to me. But two series is not enough for me personally.

13) Spruce ... intelligent and reliable.

14) Shake Ryan looked good on punt duty.

15) Marqui Christian was a hitter man ... whew.

16) No injuries.


The Bad

17) Brown at OG gets creased too often.

18) Pace Murphy has one good rep to 2 terrible ones.

19) I wanted to see Eldrenkamp at OC, not Blythe .. and Blythe got beat a few times and had that terrible snap.

20) Orlovsky should be out of football.

21) Woods, hold the ball.

22) Mannion, you can't stare down the receivers like that.


The Ugly

23) 6 fumbles. What? How? Justin Davis? What the heck, man?



Overall I was happy ... but I am pretty easy to please in PS because I missed football, lol. That said, I watched a few other games, and everyone looks pretty ugly this year.
