SPRIGGS worst play so far is getting walked back into Hundley
Then he commits a false start.
It's gotta be Vogel's job now.
I think Fackrell and SPRIGGS share a brain. He just fought off a double team, bent the TE away from him and squeezed the hole. But he can't beat a tackle off the LOS one on one.
McCaffrey isn't going to take the job with a muff, monster hit and 3 yard return.
SPRIGGS got bent back twice on last series.
Nice reaction by Pipkins. PS bound.
Ringo needs to make the team.
Yep.
Also Fackrell had his two best plays on the last two drives. He was pressure in front of Orlovsky when Ringo was steaming around the left D corner. So Orlovsky couldn't step up, had to bail.
Also nearly stopped a draw play in its tracks when he read it correctly. Forced RB to change direction and got tackled for loss.
So here is my latest Fackrell theory, he wants to know exactly what is happening before committing himself to the play. Which is why he looks like a two rapper out there on the edge, dancing with the Tackle.
Allison was looking like a man among boys until he got cheap-shotted out of the game. Hopefully he'll be ok by week 2.
Brown is having a great game, and he is down far enough that he wasn't even considered on the bubble. Might earn a PS spot from this.
Allison is going to need his suspension to get over his concussion.
Geronimo is real. Reminds me a bit of Driver. Tough, can jump, good hands, not fast but quick,
The rookie RB's are having a good night.
I would really like to see them keep Hill over Callahan.
Josh Jones fails to make tackle resulting in a TD. That's gonna look bad on tape.
Brewers lead 5-2.
Brice got up slowly after making shoestring tackle on a punt.
Did Chudnovsky play the whole game for the Rams? That's weird.
I was to see Hall make the team somehow.
Gannon kept saying how great Hundley is but his accuracy sucked and he kept looking down at the pass rush. And he can't throw an egg 90 yards.
Hundley isn't instinctive at avoiding the rush like Rodgers. That's urgent, given the way our O Line can't keep the pass rush out.
I wonder whether the Rams D was just weak against the run game or if those Packer backup O Linemen playing for jobs stepped up. It was nice to see our young RBs get some room to run - FINALLY.
I certainly hope they keep Price in the D Line and Ringo too. Both have looked better than Francois to me. I think all of them stay, though.
Gilbert looks borderline decent - probably better than Fackerell, but probably he's the one to lose his spot with the Brooks signing.
I'd like to see us keep 3 QBs on the 53 and the fourth on the PS, but I'm pretty sure now that both Hill and Callahan will get cut, and whichever doesn't get snapped up by somebody else will be kept on the PS.
I think Dupre and McCaffrey both get cut and PSed if somebody else doesn't get them. That leaves 7 plus Allison. The fact we didn't see much of Clark tonight may mean they will try to sneak him on to the PS.
Of the backup O Linemen, Spriggs, of course, was mostly bad again tonight but I can't see them cutting him. I wish they would let Barclay go, but probably they keep him. Of the rest, it looked to me like Amichia and McCray were the best. I hope they don't keep more than 8 altogether, as none of them are all that great, top to bottom. The offense is great in spite of the O Line, not because of it.
We still have no star quality Corner, but we have a helluva lot of good ones. I liked Donatello Brown even before tonight, but I doubt he is kept other than maybe the PS. It looks like 6 stay, Hawkins showing enough to be the 6th.
Obviously Josh Jones makes the team, but I really don't think he has looked quite as good as either Brice or Evans.
They damn well better not do like last year - cut Vogel and bring in some lemon from another team to punt.
I see a lot of Dak Prescott in Hundley. With an outstanding O Line, I think he could be a top half of the league starting QB at least.
What makes you think the Jags are his prime landing spot? Bortles isn't that horrible. Denver, Houston, Buffalo, Cleveland, the Jets, the Niners, maybe the Bears have worse starting QBs, and the Giants and Saints have aging starters with poor backups.
With all those possibilities, Ted really oughta be able to get something decent for him.
You've all missed out on the most important question coming out of tonight's game:
Does Fritz have to carry the mantel of starting next week's regular-season-opener game thread, since I began this one and the Packers won? Or do exhibition games not count?
Boy, this thread was about as inspiring as being at the game last night knowing that none of the starters I wanted to see would play.
Okay.
I don't know how much mojo a meangingless exhibition win carries, but we'll find out.
It should be a good match-up. I just would love to see the Pack sack Wilson good a few times. Oh, and win the game.
