Blinkscout Preseason Game one recap ...
|
|
This was a pretty well run pre-season game ... and I am more excited about the 4th quarter now that there are WRs scrambling to make the team and a competent QB getting the ball to them.
The Great ... never used that in preseason before.
1) Spruce. Goodness. Well I was hoping for him to show a little, and he ended up dropping the whole show on us. Breaking tackles, getting open, using his hands like vices, and having ridiculous field awareness. If one performance ever locked up a roster spot for an undrafted kid, it was this one.
2) HIgbee. I was hard pressed not to put this first. He'll be a seriously large part of the offense ... and his ability to break tackles on the outside is going to cause matchup problems every game.
3) LACK OF PENALTIES. Almost didn't recognize our team.
The Good
4) Troy Hill, didn't even know he was on our team. He was contesting catches and tackling ... I liked him coming out, and I thought he had a solid game.
5) Seau. He ran out of gas, or the O line figured him out ... but he flashed hard for a quarter.
6) Green ... kid has wiggle but doesn't overuse it ... plays within himself and strong and confident.
7) Greg Robinson ... I just liked the way he was moving.
8) I'm guessing our first TD drive was good, but we had a storm here, power went out, and I missed the whole drive ... anyone wanna fill me in?
9) Cam Thomas as 4th DT ... again, totally forgot he was on our team. He looked spry and had his hands really moving. Curious to see if he gets himself fully together.
10) McRoberts looked decent after he shook the nerves off.
11) Cooper looked good returning kickoffs.
12) Malcolm Brown runs big. I think this is the first year he's been fully healthy since his freshman year at UT. Even without Tre we have a serious stable of RBs.
13) Blocking assignments and routes seemed to be coherent and intelligent. Nice job Groh.
14) Sensabaugh ... He gave up two really tough catches .. but he was all over Bryant.
15) Westbrooks getting around the corner ... way to go big guy.
The Confusing
16) Why so few reps for Gaines?
17) Why do Coples and Easley look confused?
18) Why give so many reps to Chase Reynolds?
The Bad
19) The starting defense looked kinda soft ... and gave up an 80 yard drive to Dak prescott.
20) Blown special teams assignment by whom?
21) Coop ... you gotta hang on to that across the middle, I know the NFL hits harder ... but still.
22) Tavon ... catch the ball.
The Ugly
22) Mike Thomas .. CATCH THE BALL. Wow.
I liked pulling Goff .. he made some solid throws, got some anxiety out, and got a sack and an INT ... good first outing to build on.
Anyways, thoughts and comments welcome.
