Corral looked like a guy who got hurt last preseason and wasn’t repping. Got to consider him a rookie again.  Game looks too fast.  Which makes sense. 

Yes. Thank you. 
 

I think if people can put aside the “Young Lion” posts, Corral has some good athletic traits, and he showed some good things while looking like a rookie (pressing, nerves), at other times. 
 

I look forward to seeing him the rest of preseason, and hope he shows he can be a cheap backup on a rookie deal, or valuable in a trade.

I mean we need to look at context. This is a kid who the last two times he got into a live game, got hurt His finish to his college career and his start to his pro career. So it should look like a rookie who got hurt and still hasn't adjusted to the speed of the NFL. And as "shaky" as he looked, he still went out behind a trash offensive line performance with the lesser wide receivers and went 15 of 22 for 68% completions. More reps and maybe we have ourselves an NFL roster level QB. We have won some games with PJ Walker and I think MC can be a bit better than that. This was an ok start.

All day? Our starting OL played 11 snaps 

Just seemed like forever I guess. They probably could have had many more plays in the game, but they just couldn't run block or pass block. 

Just hoping that was an abberation.

That's not my quote, that comes from the Sporting News. Moreover, considering what Bryce was dealing with, it's conceivable that someone would give him an A. I can't judge him because he really didn't have time.

I basically missed the second half (having discussions with my wife & 96 year old grandma). You said something akin to what I wanted to say, but seeing that I really only paid attention during the first half, I bit my tongue. But,  when I looked at his stats I said, "This doesn't necessarily jibe with the 'Corral sucks' theme that some Huddlers were/are so quick to throw around." Some Huddlers gonna huddle though, and always overlook context. Context matters; I say this all the time.

I still think the way the Jets player landed on Bryce with his full body weight...was roughing.

I thought that too.

I'm sure it felt longer for Bryce!
