if the offensive line struggles again this year ballard should go .   he had every chance to fix it and ignored it only drafting one player mid round

I'm hoping we can snag a decent G at roster cutdowns. There's always a few vets that get cut that could start on a lot of teams.

I thought he played well. That pass that was intercepted looked really good. 

 

I am watching Levis now. He is running well and getting out of trouble. Titans may just have fumbled. Lost of TOs in this game.

How is Levis doing?

Norwell and Risner are still floating out there.

What happens if Sam outplays Minshew second half?

for a preseason game, I like it.  Shane actually adjusted and it didn’t take him a half to do it.  Going to look even better we start utilizing ARs legs.  

 

I wrote that after that series when the Colts went for it on 4th down. I thought they should have utilized AR to run or pass. I think they ran the RB all 4 downs, if I am not mistaken. But I liked the playcalling afterwards. AR looks good. He seemed poised.

We really need to pick up somebody.  The 2nd OL looks pretty weak.

That pass was beautiful

It was, I was like is that Peyton to Stokley

I think I've seen enough of Pinter... 

[Shive]

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts need Taylor back to make Richardson legs even more dangerous. Taylor will have a lot of open lanes if he comes back healthy. I imagine a lot of long  runs.

Our Line is concerning. I am glad AR has legs.

We need. Starting RG. Move Fries   back to back up. Right there makes the depth better. We did sign that skipper guy who is a vet. I think he can play tackle.

Backup Center or nothing. Guard is a lost cause.

I've wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt when he graded out well at C, but he's been just bad since then.

He and Taylor together would be uber dangerous. I want to see that bigtime!

Especially the second unit... the first unit I thought was OK. Especially since they were playing against the starters of the Bills.

How is Levis doing?

 

He is doing okay. He is 5 of 7 for 50 yards, no TD or INT, sacked twice. He led the team to a TD.  The Titans are alternating Willis and Levis.  WIllis has similar stats but he threw an INT. 

[Pelt]

Ekiyor needs to realize his days of lining up against the likes of Vandy and South Carolina are over now. There were a couple of plays where he got absolutely blasted. I'm hoping he steps up and ends up being a steal for us.

Without starting RT.

Yeah... a year ago I thought we can move him to center and free up some money from Kelly, but ... no... just NO!

real season, that’s definitely a QB sneak.  I’m not worried.  And hopefully we’ll have JT.

Yea first team looked solid and Braden Smith coming back will make it look even better.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

So far Minshew has not looked better then Richardson. He is playing bills backups so it shouldnt matter. He should still look ok. 
 

[w87r]

Downs is going to be nice

[Taylor5free]

DOWNS!!!

I hope they will better than last year. They looked good on that long drive.

Absolutely. He was my WR1 in this draft.

[w87r]

Looking better in this 2 minute drill.

[Pelt]

It just feels different to me now, as opposed to the last couple of seasons. It feels like with AR out there, this team can score at any point, from anywhere on the field.

I loved him in college. I wanted the Vikings to draft him, not Addison. 

[TaylorStillTruckedYou]

Josh Downs really is good at finding holes in zone coverage.  Having Reggie Wayne as your coach is a great combination.  He looks good

Mine too

[stitches]

Minshew is a pro QB. If we didn't have Richardson already, I'd be OK with him as our bridge starter... 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Just as I said Minshew didn’t look as good as Richardson they move down field lol. 
 

We will get Sam the entire second half most likely.

I love watching him eat up zone coverage, at least now that it isn't against us...lol

Addison is a beast, USC is my college football team.

 

Think both ended up in good spot.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Strachan being a preseason star again.

He was a camp star last year… but in games too?

[Shive]

That was a TD if not for the pass interference.
