Pre-Season Week 1: Other Games

[Hoenheim]

Probably not a ton of interest in these games I guess from you guys, but I've been watching/listening to some of them. Watching the Bears vs Dolphins now. Bears defense looks pretty decent. The have had a good number of sacks and this dude almost had a pick 6, dropped it of course though.

[Hoenheim]

Caleb Williams didn't play but Tua did for one drive, he looked decent.

They brought up the Bryce Young trade yet again. Apparently Luther Burden III (WR) was the last piece they got in the trade.

I listened to a few pre season games yesterday while working. Jaxon Dart looked pretty good for the Giants. 

Next game up today is the Saints vs Chargers. I watched the Chargers in the Hall of Fame game, oddly Trey Lance looked pretty good  and so did their rookie RB from UNC.  Saints should be giving some playing time to their rookie QB drafted in R2 Tyler Shough. I'm not sure if the Saints are set on which QB will be starting by game 1. Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler . Both should probably get a lot of reps in the pre-season.

Hot damn, another sack by the Bears. Austin Booker their rookie they drafted in 2024 has 2 sacks.

Apparently Case Keenum is still in the league, backup QB for the Bears. Not sure if he's the backup or if Bagent is. He must be just as old as Dalton is, he's been playing for a while.

Rattler starting for the Saints. Heineke looked al little innacurate first drive for the Chargers but there was also some WR drops. They are wearing those crisp powder blue unis

LA Chargers with a 4th down goal line stop on the Saints.

Clapp and Penning both carted off

That #1 overall pick is damn near guaranteed at this point... rough.

Rather have Heineken here instead of who we have as backups

[Hoenheim]

Hope this will be chubba on game 1 vs the Jags lol

Trey Lance has been looking pretty decent with the chargers . Kinda reminds me of how Harbaugh was good with Capernick with the 49ers. 

[Hoenheim]

Tyler Shough for the Saints throws a 45 yard pick 6 lol

"Oddly?" Lance was super young with relatively little playing time when he was drafted. An actual good situation combined with smart coaches can make a difference. 

 

It's still early for the rookie, but from what I heard, Shough isn't looking like the next second round gem. If he hasn't distanced himself from Rattler, the Saints FO is probably already thinking about next draft.
