Watching the Pats v the Skins preseason game. Pats look like they never skipped a beat from having Brady out for a year. The Skins are looking just as impressive, though. Campbell and the O is very sharp, and the D is aggressive. They did get beat on some zone coverage a few times, but they tackled well. NFC East is going to be a dog fight.

Pats secondary looked lost.

Fat Albert is destroying whatever poor sap has to block him.

Deangelo Hall is still a bitch.

They are getting decent pressure on the QB but yeah the secondary is lost. They have no veteran CB (as in a starter with more than one year experience) who has played with their team.

Once again playing a bunch of weird looks on D. Everyone on the LOS and Mayo @ LB, different combos of players in a 4-3 etc. The 4-3 look with Wright and Wilfork @ DT is promising. Burgess has done nothing impressive so far though.

Gotta love after Haynesworth crushed Brady making him land on his right shoulder, he has the sense to try to help him up by grabbing Brady's left hand while the Pats Chris Baker grabs his right.

Titus Adams is a DT to watch for the Pats. He's done some good things all preseason.

Watching D. Hall getting bitchslapped was fun!

Watching O'Connell shows why they got a veteran backup. Kid's very raw.

I am all for a rule to allow no OT in preseason. This is the second game I've watched that's come close to that. Supposedly it was proposed recently. Wonder why in the world it wouldn't take about negative three seconds to approve that one.

It is a penalty (driving the QB into the ground) when you aren't using your arms to brace yourself. Haynesworth clearly did not brace himself. I think that was perhaps borderline, but I don't have any beef with it's not being called.

I meant to add...Titus Adams might be someone Hurney should look at.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
