NGT: Preseason Games Today

Toth029 : 8/13/2022 1:43 pm
Just have been watching the Panthers take on the Commanders. Gibson fumbled which gave CAR a short field. Rhule took out Baker after one series where he led them to a FG and Darnold scored a pass TD on a short field. Panthers skill guys look good, though.

And Rhule has Ekwonu on the bench. He's currently 2nd team.
Ekwonu

I, along with lots of BBI liked him as a possibile pick for the Giants, but was happy with who we got.

Unlike in previous years where we’d compare our guy to who we could’ve gotten, I’m hoping Ekwonu, Neal and Thibs all have great careers. And if Ekwonu outshines our guys can we still support our GM that he made the right call at the time?

I liked Ekwonu a lot but it was very concerning when he stated that he only wanted to play LT. He was projected best at guard or RT and obviously he wouldn't have played LT with the Giants. Neal was my favorite but I expected him to go top 3 so I didn't consider him possibly falling to the Giants until a week or two before the draft.
Who started at LT for Carolina

Erving?
Ive learned one thing watching this Was - Car game...

As much as we sometimes are critical of our Papa/Banks broadcast team, I wouldn't trade them for most of these other crews ive heard on some of these preseason games. This guy doing color for the Washington game (Walker?) is an absolute clown. Just screaming on every play....you dont have to do that. Just TELL your audience whats happening and provide analysis. Not hard.

Those who liked Sam Howell, he's in for WSH.
Howell

has shown good escapability and an ability as a consequence to extend plays.

Corral in for the Panthers.

Howell did look good.
Howell looked really good I thought

He was in a RPO heavy offense in college, he's a project coming in the pros.
The Punt God

just had an 82 yard punt for the Bills. Ball left his foot on the Bills 7 yard line and went through the end zone for a touchback. Im sure someone will say that he should have dropped it down inside the 20...but whatever:). Very rare you want to see a punter perform.

Man, that's some insane flipping of field position. Generally in that situation the other team can expect to get the ball at midfield.
If you had "Punt God"

kneeling on 2nd down might have made some sort of sense.
Did anyone watch Ehlinger on Saturday (Colts vs Bills)?  
PatersonPlank : 8/14/2022 1:06 pm : link
The guy may have something. Year I know its only a preseason game, but 10-11, 88 yds, 2 TDS, 24 rush yards, and no Ints. He has a great feel for the pocket and excellent mobility. Looks much better than Foles in the backup race behind Ryan.
