A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD TD CATCH MADE HEARTBREAK IN LOSING VINCENT BROWN TO A BROKEN ANKLE FOR 8 WEEKS. MY HEART DROPPED WITH AND FOR HIM, AMAZING PRESENCE AND PASSION. A REAL ASSET ON THE FIELD AND IN THE LOCKER ROOM. SENDING POSITIVE, GOOD, SPEEDY RECOVERY WISHES AND PRAYERS TO THIS DYNAMITE GUY!!
AND TO SEE HIM RUNNING ROUTES ON GAME DAY IN A SHORT FEW MONTHS OR LESS!
FIRST THOUGHTS WITH ONE VIEWING
CONS:
OBVIOUSLY VINCENT BROWN
NO JARED GAITHER,
THE BLIND SIDE ROLL TAKEN AT PRESENT BY ROOKIE BRUIN, MIKE HARRIS THE 6'-5", 330 POUND ER HAS LINED UP AGAINST SOME OF THE TOUGHEST IN THE LEAGUE, NOT BAD, BUT I THINK WITHOUT JARED THE PRESSURE AND SECURITY THAT HE OFFERS HELPS THE RUN AND DEFINITELY HELPS PHILLIP.. HE IS MISSED I'LL SAY, WITH THAT SAID HARRIS IS DOING AMAZING!
RIVERS 2 INT'S
WELL NOT AS BAD AS IT SOUNDS IN MY BOOK, ONE NOT ON HIM AT ALL AND THEN IF YOU TAKE A CLOSER LOOK, ALL 3 TO MEACHAM AND TH ATS NOT THROWING THE BAT AT ROBERT, JUST FEEL IT WARRANTS MORE COMMUNICATION AND TIME TO GET ON THE SAME PAGE. HE WAS 13/15 WITH 109 YARDS! WITH 2 INT'S HIS RATING DISMAL, BUT NOT ALL WHAT IT APPEARS.
ONE QUESTION ARISES, WHY NOT MORE MCCLAIN TO HELP THE RUN? THIS IS A TRUE FULLBACK!!
POSITIVES:
MANY, I SHOULD OF STARTED WITH THE PRO'S, BUT SINCE THE CONS NOT SO BAD
AND FIXABLE, IT IS THE PRESEASON, REMEMBER. DEFENSE PLAYED VERY CONSERVATIVELY, PAGANO WASN'T GOING TO THROW THE CARDS OUT, COME ON IT'S THE PRE! STATISTICALLY 1st, 2nd & 3rd STRING ALL SHARED IN THE THE GREAT STATS. WITH BEING DEAD LAST IN THE NFL ON 3RD DOWNS LAST SEASON. THIS IS EXCITING NEWS!
TOPPING THE DEF LIST;
SHAREECE WRIGHT!! PLAYER OF THE GAME; 3 TACKLES,1 SACK,1 INT, 1 FORCED FUMBLE
DONALD BUTLER & QUENTIN JAMMER WITH 6 SOLO TACKLES A PIECE!
MELVIN INGRAM
ATARI BIGBY IN THE SECONDARY, JUST HAVING HIM FLYING AROUND!
4 TOUCHDOWNS!!
CHARLIE WHITEHURST 18YD TD TO VINCENT BROWN
AND MIKE WILLIE'S 38-YARD TD CATCH.
CHARLIE WAS LOOKING GOOD!!
7/12 122 YARDS, 2 TD'S AND A RATING OF 132.6, ONE FUMBLE THOUGH.
JACKIE BATTLE'S 2-YARD TD RUN
JACOB HESTER'S 4-YARD TD RUN
TD'S SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE ON THE GROUND AND IN THE AIR AND THE STATS REFLECTED THE SAME.
27 PASSING ATTEMPTS TO 26 CARRIES.
27 PASSING ATTEMPTS TO 26 CARRIES.
225 PASSING YARDS TO 53 RUSHING.
ALWAYS ANTOINIO GATES, JUST SEEING HIM ON THE FIELD!
RANDY MCMICHAEL HIGHLIGHT
RECEIVING CREW IS BANGING! SPLIT BETWEEN 12 RECEIVERS, DANG!!
MINUS THE SHORT LOSS HOPEFULLY OF VINCENT BROWN.
MICHAEL SPURLOCK SHINED ALSO ON SPECIAL TEAMS!
RONNIE BROWN
ALSO ROOKIE EDWIN BAKER, LOOKING TOUGH ALTHOUGH THE FOURTH THE KID HAS SOME SMASH MOUTH RB/FB BLOOD. 4 CARRIES FOR 12 YARDS.
THAT'S MY QUICK HITS!
CHARGERS AND COWBOYS SCRIMMAGING TODAY AND TOMORROW, THEN ITS PREP AND OUT TO MINNESOTA FOR A FRIDAY EVENING GAME VS THE VIKINGS.
