From a guy who wasn't able to watch today... what was good/bad?

Bray, IMO, was awful.

Camp and games are completely different animals. Some guys just don't know how to control their adrenaline, stay focused and perform to the best of their abilities under the watchful eyes of millions of people.

It would be great to see the Steven Nelson, Ramik and Bray camp performances translate to games and maybe, at some point it'll happen (although I think there's less than a 1% chance of that happening for Bray) but after the first preseason game, they all failed to live up to the hype.

The thing is you can't fully judge a player off just a game, let alone just a few plays. A player for example can start a game badly and then can get into a rhythm and be solid for the rest of the game.

You know one could say Chris Jones looked better than Poe against the Seawhawks but at the end of the day, we know Poe is probably much better than Jones right now. It's just a few plays really.

I have little hope for Bray but I wish we could see him at least for a full preseason game and then decide. And he admitted he was nervous as he stepped on the field as he had not had live action for two years.
