Positives and negatives from this game vs Seattle?

[Coogiguy03]

Practice with pumped in crowd noise or music. Get the timing down.

At least there wasn't all playing around like it was last year when camp started

I think I like our defence so far....it's not great, but I liked it so far. Plenty of work to do, and it's one preseason game, but that goal line stand was beautiful! We wouldn't have done that the last two years, much less under Eberflus.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Lots to like.

I thought Blue looked slow and indecisive. Not needed here.

Yeah when you keep getting runs up the middle all day

That too, and with Seattle's crowd, no less. That makes it even more impressive imo.

We're not known for winning a lot in the preseason, says a lot about this team, it's coaching, and the depth we have. I'M NOT CROWNING this team at all, just happy to see us play hard. A lot to work on still, but good win!

I get what your saying but I don't put much stock in the final score. It is how they got there. We looked well coached and if we look well coached in a loss I am ok with that. The 90s Cowboys didn't have winning preseason records.

Loved what I saw from Brown, Houston, Trigg, Woods, Marist

Cons: PENALTIES, yes it was backups, but it just seems like this team can't stay onsides on offense, like we're cursed!

#21 Carson, uhhhh!!!

I do think Carson should be shopped.

Told people there was no way Sam Williams would outplay marist. He's a bum

 

[kskboys]

Malik Davis always seems to play well. Unfortunately for him; I think we bring in someone else.

Why? And who?

Seattle is a good test because their crowd gets loud, even at a preseason game.

I was surprised that Mafah didn't get more time in the second half.

Hey anyone want a mistake prone cornerback how about a 5th? Sorry don't think anyone bites for him on anything good. If anything a late round trade swap with Carson being on the team for a certain period. I haven't given up on him though. He has tough competition. It might of been nerves. I will wait till next game to make my judgement. The coaches must see something in him to be where he is on the depth chart.

He looked so slow in the 1st.

Carson baffles me, because he does have talent and he’s always so “close”, but his aggressive style is costing him. If he can figure it out, I think he can be a solid player.

chest injury.

I do think Carson should be shopped.

For what?

And went down if breathed on.

Especially since we didn't have the players for a goalline stand.

I thought Blue played decent was getting dirty yards. I think that was the plan to see how he would hold up. He’s obviously talented.

 

[STELLAR]

I have to agree with just about everything everyone has said in this thread.

Perhaps, but worst case scenario, a late round pick swap might not be the worst outcome I think?
