The big story is Dak obviously, you can’t bring out anointing oil after one preseason game – but what isn’t to like? He made all the throws, played with poise, showed pocket presence and mobility. He moved the team down the field and scored consistently and showed what is probably the best thing you can say about a rookie QB:
He didn’t look like a rookie.
Too early to draw definitive conclusions but even as a rookie he looked better than the hasbeen veterans we would have to overpay to bring in.
I still like Showers and see him on the 53, I made the comparison to a good backup like Tony Banks before. Adbutcher said Dak reminded him of Steve McNair, which is prescient coming before this game.
Swaim and WR Andy Jones dropped passes but I give them a break because its their first real NFL game. I think the WR competition goes down to the last minute before they decide who makes the roster.
I like Nzeocha but he still has a long way to go. That said, he could definitely push Gachkar off the roster and fill the same role as a ST demon who backs up the Mike spot.
I think the young DL looked fine but I consider Ryan Russell the backup LDE and not a starter. After this game I could really see them moving DLaw to RDE permanently with Mayowa backing him, with Irving starting at LDE.
Goodbye JJ Wilcox, The Landry Rule still stands. I definitely think Frazier takes his spot.
Olatoye looked very good in limited reps, I have to think he is the 4th CB. Jerimiah McKinnon looks good IMO, he didn’t make a lot of plays but I bet he grades out well.
