say is that the looked like an NFL team out there running a modern offensive scheme even though it was very vanilla. Not a complete embarrassment like previous preseasons.
Tough to gauge in 1st preseason game. Look to see improvement in each preseason game. Hope the whole team can gel and show real life in 2nd half of season after they get into rhythm. If they stay healthy. This is not a good team. This is a multi year rebuild. I just want to see improvement this season.
BBI however was in mid season form. In the game discussion T Taylor walks onto the field and 3 posters automatically say he looks better than Jones in the pocket.
looked like we had a plan, which is a change, and some of the rookies and recent acquisitions looked good. Very vanilla - I don't think either the O or the D tried to engage in much deception.
every single injured player would be out for the year.
We dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball which means nothing, except it's so far from where we have been the last 5 years that I'm nearly giddy

Anyone who thought he was gonna make that transition and not have to go through some struggles was dreaming. This is how you learn and hopefully improve game to game.
How about he just retire now, we get an extra roster spot and we can make him the assistant QB coach?
I think the plan all along was to have him on the practice squad as the emergency QB but also to coach/manage the practice squad. I don’t know how that would work contractually but that’s what I think will happen. It’s a compromise rather than letting him join Buffalo as an assistant.
Worst play of the night that had any bearing on the season was that
Lemeiux was in a boot after injuring his toe.
Flott also apparently has a groin injury and Douglas an ankle
This is what I think is what could be a plus for the O. I think this could be a pretty decent running team.
Biggest disappointment was Aaron Robinson, but I won't write him off yet. It happens.
Lemieux's injury is worrisome given the depth situation on the OL.

get hurt?
Lemeiux was in a boot after injuring his toe.
Jamil Douglas with an ankle, too.
The injuries to Lemieux, Flott, and Douglas are concerning.
My guess is we'll be scanning the waiver wire for an OL and WR.
Our pass blocking all game long
Our run blocking
Our running backs
Three not so good:
Aaron Robinson
Gilbert
Davis Webb
Yup. Ezeudu goes from back-up everything, to starting left guard if it's serious.
Very well.
This bad boy can tackle

I have to re-watch the tape, but both rookie inside linebackers certainly caught my eye.
For about 170 yards.
Pats only about 50-60.
I like that!

Flott - missed that one. What was it?

RBs looked, as did Johnson, Beavers, McFadden, and Bredeson.

Hamstring
Hopefully none of the injuries is serious.
I think he will be out on the last cut.

Hopefully, Robinson can bounce back and get this catastrophe behind him.
Not beaten by miles but no ball awareness and grabby.

You need a bunch of QBs in camp and he some what knows the offense.
They are not keeping 3 qbs
