Blinkscout PS game 2 analysis ...

I generally skip preseason games, but I simply have to remark on the quality of our scout and coaching staff.


The Great

1) The scouts and coaches have amassed talent and coached it up in such a way that I am actually in awe of the product they are putting on the field.

2) Natrez Patrick. For me the question is not whether he makes the team, but at one point during the season will he take Ebukam's place? I don;t know how often I've used the word 'dominant" in a preseason game because in general dominators don't play in the preseason.

3) We will cut 10 players that will not clear waivers is my guess.

4) Our WRs put on a show WITHOUT ONE BEING IN THE TOP 4.

5) Our CBs put on a show WITHOUT ONE BEING IN THE TOP 4.

6) Seeing Okoronkwo get to game speed (also, his pass bat downs were one of his specialties). I'm sad that Micah is hurt but I want to keep these kids so we know what we have in them.

7) Brandon Allen had a great game.

8) Our 2s competed more than amply against their 1s.


The Good

9) Steven Parker ... seems like we're going to lose whichever of he or Christian that we cut.

10) Dareus Williams AGAIN. These cuts are going to be really hard.

11) Henderson getting to full speed, that's the kid I saw at Memphis.

12) John Kelly with his lateral agility and power.

13) The new OTs. I'm not sure why folks are giving them a hard time, they are mid to late round picks at one of the hardest positions to play, moving back and forth, and playing against starters or rotational pass rushers. I think they're doing great. Gives me a ton of excitement over their development seeing how far Noteboom got in 4 months.

14) Dakota Allen getting to game speed.

15) Jalen Greene ... glad he's putting good film on tape. Liked him.


The Bad

16) Interior O line play. These guys aren't rookies. I could excuse it if they were rookies.

17) Jojo, catch the punt.

18) Hager takes some bad angles ... need him to clean that up.

19) Micah's injury. That may be a career interrupting injury.

20) I need Blanton to play better. Mundt is not the 3rd TE I want to keep.

21) I'm not seeing a starter emerging in the DT battle. I can't see practice chemistry of course, but I'm not seeing what I wanted to see in-game.



Okay Ill break there, thoughts and comments welcome.
