- With Reggie Bonnafon and Rodney Smith injured it will come down to Trenton Cannon vs Spencer Brown for the final RB spot

- With the Shi Smith injury Brandon Zylstra and Keith Kirkwood are now the 5th and 6th WR's 

- John Miller was pulled for Dennis Daley who should be starting at RG

- Christian Miller had 3 tackles but could not get consistent pressure on the QB and won't make the team (might have trade value)

- MLB Clay Johnston over currently injured Josh Bynes 

- Sean Chandler and Sam Franklin our new backup safeties 

- With AJ Bouye being suspended first 2 games Myles Hartsfield makes the team as the slot CB/FS

Great observation. Haven't seen anyone else really mention him but he really flashed a couple times tonight. I know Smitty brought him up a few times and he's one of those guys who's name keeps popping up when you read practice reports. Good to see him play well.

Feels good to end the pre-season on a win. There were a lot of good but several bad things. Like Rhule said, the win doesn't mask the bad. I'll take the win though, for moralities sake. Darnold just needs to get the jitters out early and he'll be fine. He seems to have a grasp of the offense and has the talent. This defense is what I am giddy about. If they have multiple turn overs each game then this team might be able to stay in games until the offense gets their poo together.

Didn't realize he had a clean pocket for 17 passes... OL played better than I thought lol.

Those numbers definitely include the one drop, and I think one near interception was out of a clean pocket too.

Yep.  That one near INT could've been disastrous and changed the entire attitude of this entire board toward the negative (though some were already on the verge of that anyway).  Fortunately, as Smitty pointed out, LB's cannot catch.     Regardless, the clean pocket overall showed how effective Sam can be when he's not running for his life.

I had Paradis as giving up two sacks and 1 TFL.

Paradis was getting run over.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
