Friday night huge test for Kelvin and WR core


Recommended Posts

The 3rd preseason game tends to be teams dress rehearsal. I for one am actually happy it's against the Pats. Kelvin will get the chance to go up against 2 top corners in Reavis and Browner. I feel this is huge from an experience factor and will serve as an early measuring stick. Say what you want about Reavis, he may not be Reavis island of old but he's still one of the better corners in the league and Browner is no slouch. I'm glad KB13 gets this trial by fire now when it doesn't count. I will be interested to see how the pats play him, man up or double him over the top and how our other WR's respond and step up if he is doubled. I think this is the perfect game at the perfect time! It can't come sooner!

FYI: Rivera said he was treating the Chiefs game as the 'dress rehearsal' game.

But yeah, it'll be interesting.

I was thinking more from the pats perspective, we should see more of what we would see if it were a regular season game. I feel with the lack of rhythm established with cam and the wr core this should also be treated as close to a regular season game as possible

I can see that.

 

Plus, their video crew needs practice.

Preseason or not, I want to see Kraken plant Brady several feet into the Gillette turf.

 

But to the OP's point, yes KB will get tested.  First road game, crowd noise, etc.  Let's hope he can keep his cool even if he gets shut down to a degree.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
