Lockett and Clark had themselves preseasons reminiscent of Russell Wilson in 2012. Obviously, a lot of reason to be excited there.
You don't see Russell hit a guy in stride for a TD down the sideline too often, so it was a thing of beauty to see his throw to Lockett. The ball actually did hang for just a tick, but Lockett had beat his man so bad (w/ no safety help?) that he still had time to stutter and walk into the endzone.
Pinkins was all over the place in the first part of this game. In a good way.
Man, Milton got abused while playing tackle. He got planted right on his butt on one play in less than a second. Between what we've seen from Milton and Poole, Bailey may be the only usable backup tackle we have (besides Britt sliding over).
BJ Daniels at QB! I said a few weeks ago that I wanted to see him get reps there. I can't believe they made us suffer through Archer this entire time. We could have seen a functioning offense and had a better opportunity to evaluate the RBs and WRs a lot earlier than this.
Read-option opens up everything for this run game, especially against backups who are lesser athletes. What is closer to the truth? Rawls in a drop-back offense (underwhelming) or Rawls in a read-option offense (wow)? Big question.
Kevin, BJ, and Kasen: I don't know how you cut any of them without feeling terrible about it. I'm back aboard the BJ train for his overall utility. Kevin Smith has looked good in everything they've asked him to do. Kasen may have the biggest upside of the three, but hasn't quite found a niche on Special Teams. I'm not sure any of them could make it through the waiver wire. These dudes look like legit NFLers to me.
Ricardo: It looked like they wanted to give him the job and gave him every imaginable opportunity to take it, but I'm not sure he set himself apart from the young guys. It was sort of bizarre; they called his number so many times, as if to say "Ricardo, just give us any reason to keep you ahead of these young guys who are pushing you; any reason at all." Just not sure he did enough.
Is Chris Matthews safe? It'd be insane to cut him after what he did in the Super Bowl, right? But man, Kevin, Kasen and BJ are at least putting thoughts into my head.
