cool - look forward to what you see

To me, he looked too high and stiff with zero lateral agility. In almost every sport, it's butt down chest up with weight shifted to the balls of the feet. He looked like Frankenstein on that play. Stacey Dales said that this was the first week that he's worked at full speed. It doesn't look like he's there. I DVR'd the game and will review his and Trapillo's reps tomorrow. My wife is leaving for Chicago in the morning, so I'll have time on my hands.

he looked like he was setting too deep expecting a bull rush. so his over correction of his weakness put him a bad position with an open gap to the inside. Thats one thing you never want to see. Get beat outside? it happens. Inside? Thats a crime.

I think having an experienced QB in the room has to help Caleb, as far as keeping on the 53 that is another conversation.

He ain't ready. Terrible footwork...

This is brutal. to the inside too. Yuck.

I loved watching our coaches as the game progressed. It looked like the coaches and players are hyped. Al Haris was on it. And they all liked that first goal line stop.

I thought Keenum looked like the old man that he is and my take away was we should keep 2 QBs and use that roster spot elsewhere like the backup Oline where it seems we have several players who are developing well. I can't speak for his off the field help in the meeting rooms or sidelines. I'm sure that's good but we also have coaches who are supposed to do that.

For the record I like this approach. Doing things right vs. having a fortuitous outcome are two different things. These coaches want things done right so they won't need good luck.

With most of the starters sitting, I didnt expect a lot to cheer for but Monongai, Booker, Wheeler had some good moments. Jones didnt look good but at least he was playing against starters instead of 2nd string. Ozzy needs to improve. The DL did keep the pressure on but we need some better tackling.

That was a rough watch. Brutal offensive execution down the stretch, especially after the big sack to set them up in FG range. My only real observation/takeaway from that game is that Keenum looked a lot more comfortable than Tyson Bagent. I'd elevate him to QB2 for the next pre-season game, at the very least.

Do any of our coaches smile? Even after good plays everything is a teachable moment.

Hmm Trapilo is back in now - maybe he had an equipment issue?

I feel like our roster has some pretty decent depth.

not his fault, but by the time he got in at LT, he was looking at 3rd and 4th stringers, so i dunno what to take from it - you can judge whether he knows who to block, but probably not his level. But yeah, he will stick around. With 3 options at LT in Jones, Trapilo and Amagadje, to be looking at Benedet sounds like Jones might be trade bait at some point.

This UDFA receiver Walker has NFL athletic talent. He’s got much to learn but seems to be a likely candidate for the practice squad. I like Ian Wheeler potential too but we’ll see if he gets more decisive as he gains confidence in the knee.

They said before the game that all 3 were going to get snaps at LT. He is basically competing to be the swing T. He actually looks pretty good.

Hopefully nothing. They probably had a number of snaps in mind, I dont think they necessarily pulled him for his performance. Right now both Jones and Trapilo tried to give the gig to the other one LOL

The Canadian Eagle is playing well today.

Then he gets pulled and Theo Benedet takes over at LT. No clue what to read into that

Booker with the hat trick today. He's a pre-season demon. If only he could translate this to the regular season.

for sure, its way early

Yeah he’s been best a couple times. I want to see more though. Get past the nerves and see if he settles in.

Trapilo is really moving people in the run game, but as Ben Johnson said, the competition will come down to pass protection. Dammit, Trapilo blocked the wrong guy and let a rusher free on that pressure on 4th down at the goalline.

I wasnt sure if it was sarcastic. Glad we agree. unfortunately,. Ozzy got beaten a couple times too. Sure hope someone steps up.
