Who impressed and who sucked - preseason game 1

For the love of God! We have 3 weeks to turn a Jv team into an NFL team! Would have appreciated if when Reich is saying Bryce is the best QB I've ever seen, he would have prefacite with but the rest of his team sukks! If so I may not be building another sweet in the Bellagio! Mind you I'll never be able to stay just help pay.

All the skill players were out there with Young.  Miles was the only one held out and we knew that a couple days ago.  Bryce had everyone. 

Jets vanilla D also happened to be one that had no respect for the deep ball.   Which makes dink and dunk harder 

I don’t remember Thielen at all. Responding to this I just remembered Chark was out there the first drive but I don’t think after that.  He was working with the backups after the first drive I think

Does anyone think Luvu has star potential?

 

He’s already there. I’m personally not accepting anything less. The stats have backed it, the energy backs it. When last years Rhule led team constantly looked lethargic , he made a play, he brought the motor, he brought the energy. He’s an absolute menace at the LOS. Tracks so well. Coverage is a work in progress but I may not like a player more than Frankie.

Impressed by Young’s poise. Night and day compared to Corral under similar circumstances. Corral went from overambitious to overly hesitant to zeroing in on check downs and firsts reads and/or bailing on the pocket early. Classic indica of the game being too fast. 

 The sample sizes obviously are disproportionate but Young took a few shots and didn’t seem impacted in the least. The offense was handed vanilla plays without the option for motion and adjustment. Jets rush was especially aggressive, hard knocks and a prior game under their belt and all. On those 3rd downs where defense was pinning back: 

1) First drive: Throw for a first down against the sideline is slightly sailed to chark. Smitty points out Chark probably should have taken a half step rather than one and a half timing wise. If the timing is on point here we’re raving about this play.

2nd or 3rd drive?) Don’t recall which one but again we set up a third a 5 or so because of the blandest of shotgun runs on second down. Pass again down the sideline, this time to Shenault. Smitty remarks that (despite contact that maybe warrants PI), Shenault needs to get flatter (drop towards the sideline) rather than deeper (going upfield) in that down and distance. Had he done so, this again is an easily executed play. 

This is practice/coaching stuff. Luckily, unlike the prior regime, I have no concerns about this one failing for lack of knowledge and effort. The key is seeing improvement next week on the individual battle level at least which those two throws I highlighted essentially are.

Drive 1 - D.J. Chark Jr., Adam Thielen, Jonathan Mingo
Drive 2 - Adam Thielen, Terrace Marshall Jr., Laviska Shenault Jr.
Drive 3 - Jonathan Mingo, Terrace Marshall Jr., Shi Smith

I mean Young was given all the guys.  It’s what we had been praising.  Tons of great options with no go to guy.  People shouldn’t no where the ball is going.

I think the biggest issue is there is some basic game planning.  For example, the Jets were out there playing with no respect for the deep ball.   Which is going to muck up small ball,

    • Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.   
    • I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.
    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
