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.

    • I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.  
    • Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up. 
    • I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
