Aftermath of Game #3, who played well enough to stay?

i thought marlon moore, roberto wallace also showed enough. its almost irrelevant since it seems like they've already deceided about pat white one way or another but he actually played well for the one series he was allowed to do anything

 

I was more impressed by Micah Johnson than Tim Dobbins during the first half.

 

also agree with your choices padre

 

Ike Alama-Francis played decently.

I actually thought Haynos was playing well also.

The coverage teams were better, but there are still many bad angles taken and too many missed tackles...

Jason Allen played well enough.

I'd like to see Benny Sapp get more PT next week.

Soliai is quietly making a case for starting...or at least a lot more PT than just rotational time.

 

I do not believe we need to make any cuts right now.
The August 31 date is to trim down to 75 players. I believe we are at that exact number.

This of course is not saying that we will not cut anyone. I just do not believe we are required to.

 

i thought we were at around 78. too lazy to look it up though

 

ike looked good too. i havent liked Amaya so I hope he is cut soon. Havent been impressed by him in any of the three games so far

 

Ike Francis, Moore, and Micah Johnson all brought their games!

I'd also like to see Roberto Wallace give Pat Turner the boot.

 

can't play well until you gel. its a team sport.
the only one that stood out last night w/V. Davis, the rest nondescript.
better put together a real offensive line soon, the opener is in three weeks.

 

....You know, I'm going to go ahead and say.

Pat freaking White, in all seriousness.

 

I liked what I saw of Alama-Francis and Johnson, as you mention.

Moore, Turner, and Wallace deserve a further look. I think Pruitt has fallen out of favor.

Maybe we can get a 7th rounder for Lumbala. He did show something but, will not clear to the practice squad, and no way he makes the team.

We only have to get down to 75, and I believe we are already at 77. No big deal.

 

He could always be the never activated receiver

 

We're at 77 counting Edds and Oglesby (who are both on I/R), so I'm not sure how the cuts will work.

 

You know...I agree. Pat White just looked different last night. I saw enough to want to see more...Id like to see him for at least one half next week

 

pat white deserves a whole quarter of PT next week in my opinion. Even if we're trying to shop thigpen pat white at least needs the experience so if by chance he is called upon in a game.

 

He completed 4 short passes against defensive backups. I`m certaintly not at all convinced he`s any better. I cant even imagine him throwing a long pass downfield, much less completing one.

 

IF 5 incompletions in his rookie year are enough to bury the guy, in some peoples mind, 4 completions is fair play on the other side.

 

Didn't Moore have a drop out in the flats like that last week too? Not to bang on him cause he has definately earned somemore playing time, but I remember thinking that he dropped the same route last week. I'm pretty sure that was Moore anyway.

 

I am no Pat White fan, not after last season, but he did look better last night. He got rid of the football quickly and was accurate, he showed his mobility on his 1st down run. Does all this make me think he has moved up from the 4th spot on the roster? Not even close, but I want to see him in the game next week for at least a quarter.

 

i totally agree on micah johnson, but that rolly guy is another story, your cfl man crush is damaging your football senses, he wont make this team, we won´t keep 2 FB´s, just because of one juke move he wont be any part of this

 

If Haynos is hurt long-term, Lumballa will not stay over Nalbone or a waiver wire pickup because he is not a TE, and we will not go into the season with only 2 TEs.

 

Got a link? I certainly don't recall ever reading such a thing.

 

MM is fast and QUICK , I love that and we ARE slow

 

IMO we are not slow. We're fasting than in recent years. However, we are not picking things up quickly right now. Just seems like we are a step late on defensive plays. On offense, we keep trying to run screens when we appear to be not very good at it. I don't think any of our LG's get out there quick enough and it seems like we've had trouble hitting moving targets from what I remember.

 

I know this seems weird, but to me, while we are FASTER than we have been...we still all travel at the same speed...dont know, but its as if, unfortunately, collectively, they recede to the slowest of the fastest...compared to a handful of other teams, we dont have a single player that seems to be FASTEST...especially on screens and flowing on Defense and special teams.

We dont have the scat back RB or WR that separates themselves PAST the downfield lineman, etc.

Same with ST and our gunners...same with Defense as a whole. Thats what my eye sees...does that make sense. That we are FASTER but we play SLOWER as collective unit?

 

I think on screens, in general, we are terrible. We are not a screen team. I don't know if I can call us a "screen team" or not but we do not execute it well at all.

We don't use our tailbacks in the pass game it seems like. I know Ricky had a nice number of receptions last year (35 I think the announcers said) but man we do not seem to use our guys in space, which I was referring to in another thread. We do not use spacing concepts.

Our defense seems good in the front seven. .They see things quickly but in our secondary, seems like we are a step slow.

 

But we seem as a unit to move collectively (not always a bad thing), with no one (especially on offense the player with the BALL) moving faster then the slowest....you would think that should set up screens nicely...but since we dont seem to block our screens well downfield, it also means we lack the scat back that can out run the bad blocking and out run the defenders.

its just weird. We are faster...but we dont utilize it to date this preseason.

 

Offense- Moore
Defense- M.Johnson, Ike

 

We are faster , no doubt there. However if team speeds are compared , I have to believe we rank with the slow teams ... still.

I know , not everything upgraded at once , just an observation that I think is pretty evident.
