It was a painful game to watch but let’s take a look at some thoughts as the preseason closes.<\/p>\n
– One bad flashback to 2015 with the punt return TD, but other than that\u00a0the coverage units continue\u00a0to look improved.<\/p>\n
– With a horrid offensive performance Lachlan Edwards got quite a workout\u00a0and was outstanding. \u00a0Fantastic upgrade over Ryan Quigley.<\/p>\n
– Ended the pre-season on a high note, creating almost as many turnovers (five)\u00a0as the offense scored (six).<\/p>\n
– Deon Simon (NT) controlled the running game and showed excellent range\u00a0laterally. \u00a0He and Steve McLendon look to be a nice replacement of Damon Harrison.<\/p>\n
– Taiwan Jones (ILB) had a “Canton” game with at least 10 tackles, multiple TFL’s,\u00a0creating an INT with a tip and grabbing an INT. \u00a0Did that save him a roster spot or\u00a0was it too little too late?<\/p>\n
– Juston Burris (CB) ended pre-season on a high note with an INT and better ball awareness\u00a0when covering WR’s. \u00a0He’s going to get important reps in the regular season with the\u00a0way he’s improved this summer.<\/p>\n
– LVP of the game was Brandon Shell (OT). \u00a0Who had at least two whiffs that nearly got Bryce\u00a0Petty killed and definitely got him injured. \u00a0He’s got a ton of technique work to do because\u00a0he reaches and “ducks” his head when pass blocking.<\/p>\n
– Speaking of Petty, with him getting hurt does that “help” us with roster management? \u00a0Will\u00a0Maccagnan put him on IR to save us a roster spot? \u00a0Too bad he got hurt because he was on his\u00a0way to a big game.<\/p>\n
– Christian Hackenberg looked overwhelmed the longer he played which was disappointing. \u00a0But I\u00a0didn’t go crazy last week when he had a TD drive so I’m not going crazy with last night’s dreck.\u00a0He needs to be rebuilt and the organization appears dedicated to that process, so see you next
\nyear Hackenberg.<\/p>\n
– Was that Jace Amaro’s last appearance? \u00a0He had a couple of catches but something always seems\u00a0“off” when he plays in a game. \u00a0To me his worst play was at the end of the first half when we were \u00a0trying to get into FG range. \u00a0He makes the catch and gets the necessary yardage for the FG but
\nfumbles the ball which allows time to run out before we can call a timeout. \u00a0Bad situational football.<\/p>\n
– Khiry Robinson flashed a lot of ability behind a makeshift OLine. \u00a0He showed good hands in the\u00a0passing game and ran with good power inside & outside. \u00a0With Robinson, Forte & Powell it appears\u00a0we’ve upgraded our RB corps.<\/p>\n
– Robby Anderson completed his fantastic summer with another long TD. \u00a0It’s amazing how far he’s\u00a0come since camp opened in late July. \u00a0Early on he flashed with some catches in practice but Karl\u00a0Dorrell (WR coach) was all over him about the depth of his routes & footwork. \u00a0But he took the
\ncoaching and now he’s doing what we expected from Devin Smith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
