My man didn’t you watch Jack Plummer tonight?!  if Bryce plays and gets hurt Plummer is our starting QB

And if Bryce is healthy he is the starting quarterback. That's almost as scary.

I'm mostly kidding. Mostly.

Good:

-Leota, Jamison, TJ Smith, and Matthews. Cook wasn’t bad either.

-Defense was very sound and disciplined. 
 

- Offensive concepts were vague because of preseason but better than Franks. The execution just wasn’t there. 
 

Bad

-Everyone on the OL except sometimes Christensen.

-The WRs dropping balls, falling down, just awful.

-Penalties on offense.
 

I don’t know if Plummer was that bad or if all the drops and running for his life amplified it. Had a few of those drops been caught it may have offered better perception.

We need to bring in a QB who can push and has the capability of replacing Bryce, not back him up. He needs a fire lit under him. 

He was way too comfortable not playing tonight, but that's just been his demeanor since he been here.

Don’t suggest things that make sense, this franchise only does things to make the team worse.

My bad on that post. Had high hopes that maybe something positive could happen for this team. Obviously not.

There is nothing to apologize for,  you lose nothing hoping to see something from a guy that wasnt even drafted. If he didn't show out playing with 2nd and third stringers then the undrafted status was justified.

It's preseason. I can't believe people even pay to go.

A second year guy who did nothing last year and needs all the reps he can get in a new offense with new pieces around him. Most other legit starting qbs in the league are playing this week....just pre season tho.

Defense looked solid as expected with Evero. 
 

Matthews looked solid at TE. Everyone else on offense was trash and god help us if the starter gets injured and they have to play. 

Sanders, the rookie TE, looked good blocking on a couple of plays- sealed the edge on a run. If our TEs and RBs can help in pass pro it’ll make a big difference later.

    • I don't believe it's as easy as saying that anyone believes that Rico had the 10th best day on offense. Grades are done in a vacuum inasmuch as they can be. By their very nature, skill positions are always going to account for more "production" in reference to stats, and RBs perhaps even more than WRs because they touch the ball more. You can't look at PFF's grading system, or any football grading/grading system (like perhaps Football Outsiders or Next Gen Stats), so simplistically. If a player has an excellent day, relative to his position, relative to his assignments, and relative to his number of snaps, then he should be graded highly. It's up to the reader (or the analyst, if you will) to put what you're seeing into context, and that's not only in relation to the grades, but the general situation (like whether a player is playing injured, who they're playing with or against---the general situation). Even the fact that (presumably) PFF or news outlets put out a list of the highest and lowest grades, that doesn't mean that said players were the most impactful of the day, it just means that they did or didn't do their job the best, based upon a certain set of parameters. PFF is a part of life for football analysts, talking heads, execs, coaches, players, and even fans (even if indirectly), all to varying degrees. It is a tool that is used by all 32 teams. Obviously it's not viewed so dismissively by franchises as a whole. Execs obviously don't look at it as a bunch of bozos making sh¡t up on the fly. Fans can berate it or swear by it, but it isn't going anywhere.  The only thing that I can tell you is that perspective and context matters.
    • Im not big in to PFF but their guys were raving about his blocking along with our other skill players in the run game. https://youtu.be/D4kL_N97cFQ?si=sJWSZCUA1bj5otyx
