I was a bit distracted with the kids but some guys who stood out in moments:


Hartsfield - Just a football player. Closes quickly. Thick build. Plays the ball and tackles well. I’ve always liked him. Justifies a big role this year.

Brandon Smith - man I hope he puts it all together. You see the potential. Size, speed to power. He just gets lost sometimes.

Spencer Brown - looks better than Hubbard to me. Can he catch? Sold if he can.

Cade Mays - watched him finish multiple blocks and bury dudes. 
 

And the idea of Westry is great but the reality I’ve seen enough of. 

 

Feel free to add.

Barno and Brandon Smith, almost all of our WR who are competing to make the roster (especially Shi Smith I think cemented himself) and some of the end of the roster cbs looked solid in man.  Brandon smith has so many flashes.  He is all over the field, in both the good way and the bad way (he takes himself out of position with his speed and explosiveness sometimes) but if he can find a way to harness that and be where he needs to be and not take himself out of the play sometimes then he could potentially be a big time difference maker.

 

Edited to add Ricci.  Almost forgot to add him.  I know they use him as a fb/te but dude has hands and I wonder if he can compete to get some snaps in the regular season at TE since that's something we kind of lack in that position.

Barno and Tae Hayes were outstanding. Ricci had a better game as a TE than Ian Thomas has ever posted to date. Shi Smith looked like he should have looked last preseason, let's hope he can carry it over to the real season. 

I was impressed by Hayes.  He was all over the field.  Could be a nice depth piece for us.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Actually I have always felt that using a qb to sneak was a huge mistake even for big guys. Do you remember when Cam sneaked the ball and got a helmet spear to the head and it wasn't even called. It is unnecessary and potentially dangerous. Everyone knows what you are going to do. Why not have a big guy or backup run the ball who is disposable? Yeah they know what is coming if you bring in a big guy. Like they don't if you keep the QB in...... Actually there are many more reasons not to sneak the ball with the qb versus using something else like New Orleans did who could still run or pass.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      you want me to provide evidence of his jump balls? Or bailing the pocket?  I don't think either of those claims requires me to show you evidence.  What do you want evidence of exactly?  never did I mention downfield throws.  I said, he gets blind to play at the lines because of his size (the quick stuff).  There are literally plays I don't have time to search for but have been highlighted on QB school where there is just no way he can see the options on certain plays even if wide open (talking behind and around the line of scrimmage).   Line too close paired with the receiving  option too close.  And the stat I referenced (which you can find on next gen stats) was he is below average at and behind the line of scrimmage....which I'm sure his size/vision plays a role in the why. I have an agenda? Cool.  Then so do you.  and again, Bryce's cherry picked best play (which isn't how anything works).....still leaves him on the low end of production.  I'm not overly bashing Bryce.  I just acknowledge, most signs point to him having a low ceiling.  And in the big picture, that's not the direction you want to go.  He is our QB for now.  I hope he improves.  Which in turn would allow our O and others to develop.   But to me, there isn't much of an argument that Bryce Young is anything but short term solution.

      Again where is the evidence. You keep saying it but honestly you have shown no evidence. Unless you know what he was supposed to do and then what he did do, you don't know anything about his intentions and or forced changes due to height. His completion percentage for passes from 1 to 10 yards was only slightly lower than his best percentage which was 10 to 20 yards passing.  Not enough of a difference to be significantly different.  Truth is you have an agenda that you try to justify despite any evidence to the contrary. Many of us felt the same way but have allowed his actual play to inform our opinion. I still would have picked Stroud over Bryce but I am willing to keep an open mind and see what is there instead of filtering everything through my biases and already polarized opinions.
