Who missed the assignment on that blocked punt?

Point well-taken.

But we'll be fine with either of them as pass protectors, of course. No worries.

First of all it was preseason second of all it's a learning experience that's why you have training camp in preseason they're gonna go back and look at film and be embarrassed at the next meeting and they're gonna end up being a little bit more aware in this situation to be better they miss an assignment who knows what they were looking at or thinking that is exactly why you play the younger guys in preseason and not the veterans...

Dowdle straight up whiffed on the block, but it looked like he was also expecting help on the inside.

Would like to think it wasn't Dowdle, but that was my first impression.

Fans are going to realize that Noah Brown had value...

I’m not sweating a missed assignment by some hack that likely won’t mk our ball club.

Dowdle may very well make the team

He was a great guy to have on a roster
A really solid ST player who could play WR
He wasn’t a top 3 type reciever but he was a great guy to have on a rostee
ST is very important
These young recievers or any position really should look at what he did. That’s how you get an nfl career when you aren’t a star player. He made himself a player with hard work

You'll be happy to learn I was only half-kidding. Not even 1/2... probably 1/8. So I agree with your response. I agree with it more where actual rookies are concerned, but I agree with it nonetheless. You don't torture the inexperienced for even a handful of bad preseason plays. Especially when there are other plays that counterbalance. Have routinely cited, for instance, to Josh Ball haters the Archer column after preseason 2011, encouraging readers to not be too down on Tyron Smith for his mistakes so early in his career.

That's what I'm saying that that's a whole when you're watching preseason of course all the inexperienced players look worse playing next to each other which should be far different when we need to use one of them in a real game and just insert them in between the frontline starters they won't look near as bad especially with game plans and they'll know have a specific role and the players around them know they're gonna need to pick up their game to cover it up a little bit that is not even possible in a preseason game when you're playing against the other team starters and you you're inexperienced players are playing all next to each other they're all making small mistakes therefore it looks like a big mistake..

I don’t feel like he simply whiffed. It looked like he’d never seen anyone try any move other than running directly into him.

He did make a pretty good one handed grab!!
(Then stopped out like he didn’t know they were calling that in preseason)
