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

      I see both sides of the arguments, but compared to last year we're somehow at an upgrade over completely fried Dalton and wasn't even good in college Plummer. At least Pickett and Grier probably have some desire to make more money when Dalton was happy to just go through the motions and I will never understand why they even bothered with Plummer.

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….
