I'll say it again, the biggest improvment you will see out of Cassel this year is he is now able to check out of plays. They said tonight more than once that under Haley he was not allowed to do so.

It was nice to see Cam Sheffield in on some action. He adds good depth to the charts.

Considering a year ago we lost 25-0 to the Bucs in the first preseason game, I'd say it's improvement. It's just preseason but you can see a prepared team.

Oh, another encouraging sign, the TD to Hillis was a hot route adjust to a blitz

Winston is really gonna help beast up the right side of our line. Which is something that we haven't had since John Tait.

Hillis...what can you say? The guy is a beast. Having Charles, Hillis, and Gray...that's a lot of RB firepower. We should be a top 5 rushing team. I don't think I'm being too much of a homer in thinking that.

Yeah, I was already saddling up on the Draughn bandwagon. Then Gray started making him look like a chump. Seriously, our running game is gonna be a blast to watch this year.

Exactly. We looked like a football team out of the gate for the first time in 5 years.

We looked together. We looked organized. We were sharp, great tempo. One botched play by the starters on offense but shit will happen in the pre-season.

One thing they said was that Cassel was not allowed to check out of plays under Haley. I speculated that for quite some time and tonight I think I was proven to be correct.

Snap the ****ing ball!

I agree that freedom is needed. Pretty interesting insight provided tonight

Gochiefs. He's a troll.

Yeah, kind of funny why some trolls get the ban hammer quickly, yet this one is getting a pass....

He's just repeating things he heard somebody else here say.

I'm not 100% sold on Maneri yet, I want to see more but if he continues to play like he did tonight then Moeaki being healthy is going to be a non-factor this year.

I love ya, Clay...keep it up

All I am saying is he didn't show us anything we haven't seen before, other than one throw, which was to a receiver running wide the **** open.

He has had good preseason showings before. Any doofus can hit a 5-yard out.

Ace Gunner 08-10-2012 09:48 PM

IMO Cassel looked the same. His passes soared, he didn't fool anyone and his accuracy still blows.

You know what was different? Protection, especially from the OT's. They can't get short yardage yet, but they are much much better at pass blocking simply because of RT Winston and LT Albert.

Oh, and Dex. Burn. Heh. ****er ran some nice routes tonight.

Toribio is the real thing, very impressed. Berry looks to ball. Jamaal, I'll reserve opinion on him until real bullets fly. Moeaki looked fine.

But Stanzi - to - Maneri is gold!!!1 Until the regular season starts:D

He makes some pretty cool videos... I'm guilty of supporting him him the past. But lately, anything other than those videos is just shit.

Not to mention the o-line and it's depth.
