+1 for Big V playing LT. Looked good and wasn't thrown off balance from what I've seen. However, he was playing 3rd/4th string competition.
 
Good list. JT Walton looked good to me.

Jolly Green Giant. Villanueva looked great. Good balance very powerful. Looked very comfortable in his footwork and demeanor. Real smooth. Like nothing troubled him..

I thought Shazier had a nice night. Wing had some good punts. Archer showed some moves. He even returned a KO past the 30.

+how many yards deep? Then he muffed the punt... I'd cut him tomorrow or on the walk home

You'd have to get in line to make that cut because I'm rushing to the head to be the Turk for Laundry.
 
Like many of these games where the team looks bad when told the roster will be cut to 53 players one might say we have to keep 53 of these guys? One other thing to consider there were several injuries in the last few days that eliminated lots of guys from the game and maybe moved guys in that would not have even made the 90 man roster.
 
The way he had that team playing he could have been wearing a welders mask. they looked bad obviously
 
Phillips also had a good night. Drew a pass interference call and had a nice one handed snag. Max effort on each play. Were so loaded at WR, it'll be a miracle if he makes the team though.

And Timmons payed a good thump on someone out there. Shazier started off shaky but really tightened up his game and really played well.

I liked what butler was calling on Defense. I'll think we'll be fine. Freaking Haley takes too long to sub in and call plays. He was leaving jones 8-10 seconds after breaking the huddle. You give your QB no time to make adjustments or call audibles with the play clock at 8. I did like they had jones passing his *** off and gave him some looks. He's proven that he is a third string QB and will never be better than that.
 
Dri Archer is much improved from last year in this offense (although he did muff a punt).
Shazier and Boykin - just wow.
Brad Wing has a donkey leg!!!

I know people like to come down hard on the team after a loss, but you all have to realize we played with like 0 offensive starters. The only starters out there was the O-line on the first 2 offensive series. That said i thought the defense overall looked good, especially the zone coverage. My main concern was seeing if the defense looked good enough to not give up 30+ points a game and it looked like it to me. Starting defense allowed 0 points (even with back up safties & CBs). So all in all i think things are looking good.
 
I'm not sure how the defense looked good when first drive they moved the ball easily then took out bridge water

Although i do agree they did move the ball easily on us that first series, im holding out hope J Harrison wouldnt have missed that open field takle like Shayon Green (i think) did. Also some big plays were made from thier athletic QB on a scramble when he couldnt find anyone open, im thinking we shouldnt see too much of that this year until we play Russell Wilson & maybe Luck on the schedule. But i think the WR coverage was pretty good.
 
Strange how after one preseason game we can't make a judgment yet on the bad players but Archer is "much improved". Archer had several big plays last year in pre-season. At the time everyone was saying how great he was going to be during the regular season. Then the men came to play and he couldn't handle it. Now after one pre-season game against future grocery baggers he is "much improved"... really?

Wrong. Dri had ONE BIG PLAY in the Giants game. After that he disappeared. Anyone that watched him last night saw a HUGE difference between his pay last year and then. THAT is why I used "much improved".

If he gets the opportunity to play more - we'll see just how improved he is, correct?
 
Shazier, Timmons, Boykins and Tuit all played well on defense. Villanueva and Coats held their own on O.

LOL. He had ONE BIG PLAY THIS YEAR. He had 8 catches for 108 yards last year. He is not "much improved" because he hasn't done anything when it counts. His big play last year doesn't count but his big play this year counts? They are going to give him a ton more work this year so yea, his numbers are going to go up. But his production (per carry and per rec.) are what counts... correct?

4 rushes 24 yards and 6 receptions is almost matching his total last season.

He was targeted more as well. But those numbers aren't good. Just because they are playing him more doesn't make him better. And again it's pre-season. I don't care if he has 300 yards rushing and 200 yards receiving against scrubs. You can't take a pre-season game and apply that to the regular season. Like I sad, last year these same people were pimping him during the pre-season. I guarantee you Bermuda love him last year during pre-season. He didn't talk about how bad he looked last year. He just mentions it now because he thinks he looks better this year.
 
He was targeted 10 times. Three that I remember were basically in the dirt or behind him. You can't fault him for Laundry's inaccuracy; and to be fair, on two of Laundry's bad passes to Archer, he was under heavy pressure. I'm not saying that Archer will be a great player; hell, I'm not even sure he will be a "good" player. However, he looks better than last year. More decisive with his runs, added some muscle, seems more confident on the offensive side of the ball and as a kick off returner. That said, he still has a tendency to shy from contact. Still falls down w/out being touched (although a lot of our guys were slipping - equipment manager problem?). And, I would not trust him on punt returns in any way shape or form.

Oh, and as a blocker against a pass rush? As Burgundy would say "fuggidaboutit"

Hopefully, he takes last night's steps in the right direction and builds on them.

I saw one of his look out blocks during the game. It looked like a defensive tackle was given an ole by an offensive lineman and archer correctly decided no way, I am not gona end up on IR to protect laundry ******* throw it in the dirt worm killer Jones.
 
Lol, yes I seen Dri let that DL have a free run at Landry as Dri went out towards a linebacker that was hanging back. HI thought to myself that he was gonna get yelled at for that missed assignment.
