It kinda amazes me the level of assuredness that fans have about a guy who has never taken a regular season snap and has looked awful this preseason and is probably 50/50 to make the final 53 as a 3rd string QB. I really wonder if people like him because guys can relate to him. He's not that big, he slings it around like it's a backyard game, he's just like me! Well, there's a reason you are on the couch dude.

Sorry for the mini rant..

On to last night:
-The secondary didn't do a very good job of adjusting early on, but if this were a regular season game, I don't think that Hall would be isolated on Moss nearly as much.
-The penalties were ridiculous. Preseason or not, it's the little things that kill you. Getting an unsportsmanlike from the bench? That's not keeping it medium, Z.
-Shaun Suisham, buh-bye. That's exactly why you have competition now, because you miss to many FG and seem confused as to why. Now I don't know if Rayner is any better but I've seen enough of Shazam.

This may not be the right place for this but I think Z/Vinny could make 2 gutsy calls that could improve this team's explosiveness. Mitchell is at least the #5 WR and Thomas is probably the #4. Could Thomas replace Rock as the primary KR? Mason and Aldridge gave a dynamic we haven't had in a long time. Do we explore an opportunity to trade Betts? Portis, Mason, Aldridge is much more dynamic to me than Portis/Betts/Rock. Just a thought.
