Sobocinski with a goal saving tackle on Arango, great tackle for the young Pole.

LAFC is moving really well off the ball right now, giving our outside backs fits.

Team has started better tonight, luckily we aren’t going up against Bale either. I’m also glad that they’ve decided to sit Fuchs tonight. I’m hopeful that we can manage a draw but it’s going to be ridiculously tough.

A lot of that is the QB’s actually adjusting to the defense. Mayfield has this to say following the game about the McAdoo and the offense: “Night and day different, that's for sure. A lot more comfortable now. [Offensive coordinator] Coach [Ben] McAdoo is going to give us the keys to change things on the field, and his saying is, if he can't trust us, he can't trust himself.” “Not really like anything I've been in before. It's a great offense, it allows us to make checks at the line and just have answers for whatever the defense is throwing at us. It's a lot to learn at first, but once you get it down and you start to master it, you can get the offense in a great position to have success. That's the benefit of having a complicated offense like this.”

Old friend, Kenjon Barner, with a couple nice runs for Tampa (though one was called back for holding).

Wouldn’t except Tepper to understand the process even if it was drawn out in crayons… only thing that guy talks is money.

Completely forgot Kyle Rudolph was in Tampa now.

Just what we needed… Pickett to have a good game so Tepper can walk into Monday’s meeting with Rhule and Fitterer and claim that he should have more say in who we draft.

Not gonna lie, the Dolphins 7th round rookie QB, Skylar Thompson, might be having the best preseason game out of all the rookies… 19/24 - 214 yards - 1 TD 3 carries - 25 yards

Pickett can play a bit, at least against third and fourth stringers. 13/15, 95 yards, 2 TD’s 3 rushes - 16 yards

I don’t think he has either but I think this year he’s built to have immediate success as a guard while he learns how to deal with edge rushers who have elite speed. Don’t think it will happen but that’s okay. As long as Elflein and Jordan aren’t trotted out as starters on day one I’ll be happy.

Charlotte enters tonight’s contest 4 points out of 7th. I personally don’t think we can afford to drop points tonight, and at the very least need to come away with a draw to have any chance at the postseason. Unfortunately, we are matched up against an LAFC team that has only given up points in 7 of 23 contests this year. GK - Kahlina RB - Afful RCB - Walkes LCB - Sobocinski LB - Mora CDM - Bronico RCM - McNeill LCM - Bender RW - Jozwiak ST - Swiderski LW - Reyna Subs - Marks, Lindsey, Fuchs, Jones, Alcivar, Gaines, Vargas, Shinyashiki, Rios Not Included - Sisniega, Romero Not Available - Byrne, Malanda, Santos Injured - Corujo, Armour, Mello Loaned - Zendejas (Independence), Santos (Independence), Hegardt (Independence) No Longer With The Team - Makoun, Franco, Ruiz, Ortiz

Already got by the Chiefs.

Nice little drive there by Pickett. Nothing spectacular but he made the plays that were in front of him… which you have to do.

Definitely feel for Kirkwood, second consecutive offseason where he’s had his bell rung. I’m hopeful that we can store him and Wright on the PS. Moore, Anderson, Higgins, Marshall, Smith, Zylstra, and Saunders make for a really deep group. If we don’t keep those seven then I hope they at least IR Saunders so they can hold on to him.

Can we not do this poo… while it makes sense to give Walker’s reps to Corral… P.J. was fine for the most part today… that strike to Derek Wright was a really nice play with great execution. Blame the coach sure, but P.J. is just out there trying to continue his football career.

Skylar Thompson, the Dolphins 7th round QB out of K-State, can sling it a little bit. 10/12 - 122 yards - 1 TD

Still think our best line for THIS YEAR (had to bold so I don’t get poo’d on) would be: LT - Christensen LG - Ekwonu C - Bozeman RG - Corbett RT - Moton Just imagine CMC running behind a pulling Ickey.

Kyle Trask is an interesting guy, doesn’t do anything impressive but he manages the game quite well.

Think he passed the eye test as a capable backup at the very least, regardless of his completion percentage. I’d say that there’s quite a few instances out there where you can’t just look at the stats. Anyone who’s a Panthers fan should be in tune with that as there were quite a few games where Cam led us to victory with a subpar completion percentage.

Thought McAdoo was real solid and I’m also really impressed with Joe Dailey’s group… all his guys looked solid… Higgins, Smith, Zylstra, then throw in Kirkwood and Wright.

George Pickens must be the second coming cause he’s on my Twitter feed everyday.

100 percent, everyone keeps stating that a new coach will bring in his own QB… well Rhule isn’t exactly coaching like it’s a make or break season for him.

That’s true but I think the concerning thing is that it didn’t look any of our guys can generate pressure on their own (except maybe Barno)… meaning that the only way we’ll generate pressure is with blitzes, stunts, etc.

Think that’s spot on. He’ll struggle early with speed rushers but while he’s getting that part of the game down, he will maul any DL that doesn’t possess that quick off the snap speed.
