Practice player of the week (the 'other' Brandon)

I am impressed so far on what I've seen from him, and I think this was an excellent offseason pickup. I kind of felt he would be the first off the bench in case of injury, but didn't expect so many reps already.

I was surprised when some thought he'd be cut, or on the bubble even--I think they just assumed Chung would be thrown to the wolves early on, because he was a high pick.

I haven't checked to see how many plays he was in on, maybe someone else has some idea, but I think he's shown more than some expected already.

Thoughts?

Reiss had his reps in his blog, the link is there in the game breakdown thread. I haven't seen much of him in the first half, but then I haven't seen much of Sanders either.

Thanks Box, I'll check there.

I know I saw him more than I expected, but he's been somewhat of my preseason/TC binky, so I may have had a biased view also.

He's no TBC, but there he is - contributing. I wonder if our friend Earthwind is available.

He caught my eye enough to look up his number. He was putting some hits on guys.

He seems to be embracing the program, and he looked solid in the preseason. Didn't notice him much against the Bills, but BB loves players who put in the effort during the week. If nothing else, he looks like a solid pickup as a backup safety given some of the patchwork secondary we've had in the past.

That's my man! I mean how many UMaine players end up with the Patriots or in the NFL.

I noticed him playing well on D and on ST's last week.

I won't lie - the Jet flag peeing is delightful.

Seven: Besides McGowan, defensive lineman Mike DeVito and tight end Matthew Mulligan, both on the New York Jets; linebacker Jovan Belcher of the Kansas City Chiefs; running back Montell Owens of the Jacksonville Jaguars; linebacker Stephen Cooper of the San Diego Chargers, and linebacker Lofa Tatupu of the Seattle Seahawks.

An all-time high.
