2014 Pre-Season Observations & Comments?

[wilwhite]

I'll watch some of the GB/Titans game tonight; that'll be my first.

I wasn't very impressed with Cooks. Tavon Austin looked good. He was shifty and made a diving catch. I'm not convinced of him as a WR but he caught my attention.

I just read that Mark Ingram is in a contract year. That's interesting...might explain that extra umph that I saw from him. He's hitting the hole hard. Looks possessed as Lefty said.

I always felt that he just isn't in the right system with New Orleans. Might be an interesting pick-up in a dynasty league. And if he keeps playing like he did the other day, seasonal too. It's just too difficult to predict which, if any, of the Saints RB's have success.

Jaguars QB's

Chad Henne started and looked like a deer in headlights. Blake Bortles looked very comfortable in the pocket and ended up with a 99.4 passer rating in his first NFL action. Not bad for the rookie.

I havent seen much so far this year (Working) but I have to say I thought (gulp) Ben Tate looked pretty spry tonight.

 

[Xponentialchaos]

Another solid performance by Blake Bortles (Henne looked good too). I'll be targeting this guy in my dynasty league.

Bears front 4 put very little pressure on Russel Wilson. That usually spells disaster for the secondary (& did).
Both Marshall and Jeffery dropped some nice passes from Cutler. Forte only played one series.
Lacy only played one series, and was the focal point of that series for the Pack. (TD)
Justin Tuck on Oakland's line looked good. Really good.

E.J. Manuel is not a confident, able quarterback.

 

[TKOSpikes]

And man oh man that angers me.

No link but I saw a tweet (or is it a twat?) that pretty much said Sammy Boy is done...........wish I could find it but I can't. Was one of the STL beat guys................another year of sub .500 football. Please Mr. Warner, unretire so our shitty O-Line can get you murdered too...................damn. Hope is was a twat instead of a tweet.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Must have been a twat: Initial reports are Sammy Boy suffered no structural damage............

praying for ya.....Case Keenum is available if my squad is going with Fitzy....Bring back this guy

he'll always make a play or two that makes you say wow, but hardly worth that high pick

News Articles > Sam BradfordPublished Sun Aug 24 5:40:15 p.m. MT 2014

(RotoWire)Despite initial optimism regarding the left knee injury that Bradford suffered in Saturday's preseason game, ESPN's Adam Schefter suggests that there are now fears that the quarterback may have sustained a torn ACL. Analysis: Coach Jeff Fisher is slated to address the media later Sunday, so there should be some additional follow-up on Bradford's status as the day progresses, but the situation is clearly concerning. In the event that Bradford is forced to miss extended time, Shaun Hill would be next in line for the team's QB snaps, though it's also possible that the Rams could consider dealing for another signal-caller in such a scenario.

Emmanuel Sanders looks like he will benefit greatly from having Peyton at QB. With Welker concussed, he could move inside so Lattimore can play outside. The small sample of Monte looked good as well.

Go Cody!!

I hate that I'm going to be having so much riding on Broncos this year. .. neck out in the line with Ball... and calling Cody my favorite sleeper WR...ughhh, sick to my stomach

 

[bksballer89]

Sanders will be starting flex for me no doubt about it if Welker is out for a while

 

[TKOSpikes]

Aaron Dobson looks pretty good. Garopollo looks better than E.J. (who doesn't?) Again, not sure where this James White hype came from. He plays small, and isn't as quick as you'd think. Hence my moving Vereen to 12 in the RB rankings.

 

[TKOSpikes]

....and did I mention E.J. Manuel is terrible? Even in this, his 5th game, and playing against roster bubble players for the most part, E.J. goes 3 for 7 for 56 yards.

And gets Watkins sent to the trainer's table on a terrible slant pass, another reason to not take the kid, his QB is so bad it may make him injury prone
