1/ I think we need to calm down about the quarterbacks. Some of the reactions I’ve seen in my timeline are a little too over the top for a preseason game.
Patricia Traina (@Patricia_Traina)
8/10/18, 12:38 AM
2/ I think Eli Manning is right about not going berserk over Barkley’s first big run. But let’s hope it’s the first of many to come and that there are some TDs at the end of them.
Patricia Traina (@Patricia_Traina)
8/10/18, 12:38 AM
3/ I had doubts about whether Kerry Wynn would fit into this defense. Again it’s just one game but his performance sure went a long way toward alleviating some of those concerns.
Patricia Traina (@Patricia_Traina)
8/10/18, 12:39 AM
4/ I think I like the run stopping duo of Damon Harrison and B.J. GOodson. A lot
Patricia Traina (@Patricia_Traina)
8/10/18, 12:39 AM
5/ I think Wayne Gallman needs to handle the pass blocking on third downs.
Patricia Traina (@Patricia_Traina)
8/10/18, 12:39 AM
6/ When the pass rush is on, it’s a beautiful thing. But when it doesn’t get home, I’m a little concerned about the secondary.
Patricia Traina (@Patricia_Traina)
8/10/18, 12:39 AM
7/ Shurmur admitted in his postgame presser he had no intention of playing OBJ. Sorry but if you didn’t see that coming from Mars, then I don’t know what to tell you.

Khalil Mack still not in Raiders camp and won’t be tonight, per source. Which means: By not showing up to camp before the first preseason game tonight, Mack will be fined $814,000, per CBA. It is latest sign of Mack’s unhappiness, resolve. His holdout continues, no end in sight.

Keim ESPN Washington: The Redskins will have some interesting decisions to make at receiver after the starting three as a number of players have stood out at times,whether in camp or the preseason opener: Maurice Harris, Brian Quick, Robert Davis, Trey Quinn, Cam Sims and Simmie Cobbs, Jr., in particular have had their moments. Sims had a 57-yard catch Thursday. The season will determine if this group can provide good depth or not, but for now it's a tight race; the latter two are undrafted free agents; their names have been mentioned by coaches since the spring.
