Positives from the game

I know a lot of people are just pointing out the obvious negatives of the game but I would like to shift to focus on the positives of the game. I know people are upset about this game but keep in mind that it is preseason. If you make mistakes, the time is now. This period is used for coaches to look at their players. Let's face it, some of the players out of the field last night won't be there next week. With that being said, I would have to say that my big positive was seeing T. Davis out there. He made a few key stops on that goal line stance. Sadly, they ended up scoring but it is good to see him being active.

TE- I am loving the fact that our QB's are using our TEs as a safety net. Having both Shockey and Oslen out there will definitely free up the focus on Smitty once he returns.

I could name a few others but anyone else seen anything they liked out of a particular player or situation?

another sutton fan here. the dude is just tough. very well could be starting on a lot of teams or at least the #2 RB in a committee. i wish there were more opportunities for him. i feel good having him as the #4 RB, tho. imo, he's more reliable than goodson. not quite as dynamic, but he's tougher and he hangs on to the ball. he's a great blocker, too.

Am rewatching game and there were two turnovers on the Dolphins first drive that could have changed the outcome of the game. First fumble was blown dead and 2nd we have 12 men on the field. Have to remember, Beason, Gamble, and Hardy are not playing. Our LBs will be sick once Beason is back.

Sutton looked decent, Olsen and Shockey will be used and if the WRs can get better seperation then uh oh. and the most positive thing is that Cam Newton got a full taste of the NFL and while people will say what was positive about it, what was positive is that he got experience as a starter which will only help in the long run.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Uh... Bryce Young extension? This shouldn't even be remotely on the table right now.  Hell, the Texans haven't even engaged Stroud in an extension discussion yet and he's played miles better than Bryce has during their careers so far. I swear, he's going to show the bare minimum of improvement this year, the front office is going to say it's showing he's still getting better, and going to sign him to a stupidly large extension that is only going to set us back another 5+ years when he never even approaches being an above average QB and we have to replace him a few more years down the line.

      Yeah I'm calling shenanigans on this. I get why people want this to be true but the truth is plainly right in front of us. Scott Fitterer was a god awful GM but at the end of the day the same guy that hired him gave Matt Rhule generational wealth because his wife made some tasty meatballs. The whole trade up to #1 reeked of David Tepper's desperation and his need to be in the headlines. He had mentioned that he spoke to Bryce months before the draft and directly intimated that he would like Bryce to be a Panther. And who was it that held a press conference where he did virtually 98% of the talking after firing Reich? I legitimately don't understand how one can come to a conclusion that the entire Bryce Young debacle was all Scott Fitterer. I mean one would have had to have recently had a stroke or some kind of brain injury to even begin to rationalize such. Not trying to be a dick but cmon.... If it was all Scott Fitterer then why did we spend two straight years after 2023 making absolutely no effort to bring in any competition in the QB room? Andy Dalton? Jack Plummer? And furthermore at the end of the day Dan Morgan is the GM because no other serious candidates were interested in the job. And why is that exactly? Hmmmmmm. And if Fitterer was the architect of the trade up and selection of Bryce Young and the Tepper's were just a couple of poor schlubs taken for a ride does hiring Scott Fitterer's right hand man and best friend sound like a well laid plan? None of this is even mentioning the fact that the 2024 draft was basically like Scott Fitterer never left. Yet people still aren't getting it? 🤨 This place is always amusing. That's what keeps bringing me back.

      Play him on his 5th year. See if he starts/repeats the success. If he does, great, no problem with an extension. Just no Daniel Jones 1 hit wonder contract please.
