  1. Nothing to freak out about yet. Excited to see Marlon play. Glad we'll get to see Myers most likely. No worries about the starters, preseason is more for the backups anyway. Ready to see more of Buck and the WR competition. Hope Perry gets more time, him vs. Trawick is shaping up to be a little battle of its own. Renner as well may get more time, hopefully Schaub doesn't keep throwing picks though.

  2. We were all excited to see Elam try to prove himself this year but I hope he doesn't try to have a superhero come back, just sit the year out and try again next year, no need to risk re-tearing it in a come back. The biggest concern about Camp is still on the table, the injury issues, we've all known from the get go that he could be special...but he needs to be on the field to do it, we'll see if he can stay healthy.

  3. If Webb is healthy by week 1 I can't see Melvin taking his starting job (unless of course they try to rest him or something). Melvin played well in a starting role last year but he made his fair share of mistakes, especially with missed tackles. A healthy Webb is better than Melvin plain and simple, problem is: when is the last time Webb was fully healthy? A fully healthy Webb is one of the best all around corners in the NFL. I don't have a problem with the FO taking it slow with him even if it's a minor injury simply because of his history.

    As far as the mock roster goes: after the game last week I'd rather have a new rookie FA in Perry than Trawick, he was just plain awful in all phases of the game. Maybe he gets his act together this week. Hopefully Perry gets more playing time against the Eagles.

    And by the way, the surprise center battle between Jensen and Easton may get interesting if Easton plays so well again this week. I'd hate to lose a good lineman because he isn't as versatile.

  4. 12 carries for 36= 3 yards per carry. How is this a positive

    Because of the type of runner he is. He's a bruiser not an elusive speedster. He gets paid to lower his shoulder and grind out short yardage situations and he showed lots of improvement in that area.

  5. Nick Easton running with the 3's held his own on a pretty terrible group. Made some good decisions switching blocks.

     

    Jah Reid did impress me with the 2's. Like most people here, I'm not a big fan of his but he played well this game at RT, maybe he'll get his stuff together and realize his potential.

     

    Asa looked good fielding punts...up until he got injured again. But seriously he looks dangerous fielding punts.

     

    LT has stepped up pretty well.

     

    Butler did fine. The pick was more Schaub's fault than his, it was poorly thrown. Had he made that catch falling backwards early in the game we would be saying great things about him.

     

    1st team D looked fantastic the 2 drives they were out there, granted it was against McCown it was still very good.

     

    Arthur Brown was a mixed bag, made a couple good plays but also missed a few. Orr is in the same boat.

     

    Trawick did very badly in my opinion. That taunting penalty really made me mad, so unnecessary. Hope Perry gets more snaps next game.

     

    Rookies:

    Williams did fantastic, that 4th and 20 was supremely impressive.

    Carl Davis did great, absolutely manhandled whoever they put in front of him. Very disruptive.

    Z Smith was a mixed bad, struggled mightily early but as the game went on he did better culminating in the sack

    Allen did good, like Z. Smith he didn't do well early but did better after a couple snaps he did better.

    Walker was impressive, wasn't expecting him to shine like he did. Doesn't shy away from contact and i odon't remember him making any bonehead plays.

    Boyle made some good catches, very strong hands. Wish he would get more after the catch but can't complain about his performance.

    Waller made a nice contested catch early, then did a good job drawing contact. Nothing overly impressive but i can't complain about his day.
