I liked hearing Mel Mitchell's name. As well as Bam.

I don't know how you can call Gutierrez a winner. He put up some of the worst passes I've ever seen. They looked more like punts than passes.

I thought the biggest winner was Justin Rodgers.

Not sure even Hawkins and Woods were there, from Mike Reiss:

Tuned in this morning precisely to see this thread.
Good start, Mark!

Too many distractions while viewing to have many observations myself.
(Visiting family wrenching away the remote to toggle to Sox, etc.)

Funny how any game action
eclipses what we think we know from camp exercises.

as you may read, many of us are calling Gut a 'winner' based upon his pocket presence and decision making.

Yes his throws were pennington-esque at times, but the kid is young and was undrafted--all things considered, he is a winner for not looking lost and for having a good deal of upside.

They can't all be #12...

Add Washington in there as a winner too....and you missed one of the biggest losers of last night....could cost him a roster spot......L. Anam......

FWIW, I think Gutz played really well in his first playing time in the NFL......while I am still not sold on Cassel being able to get it done.....

good point....Kevin made some exceptional plays last night....

does anyone here think that Kight turned the wrong way on that endzone corner route? the announcers were lambasting Cassel, but I think that Moss, Gaffney, Caldwell, Welker, Watson, Vrabel, Stallworth, Brown and a few others would have made that catch
