He didn't limp off. Looked like he ran off to me.

Brady to Brown

Wesley played a very good game. He may have played his way onto this team.

Cassel is a fine back up QB.

Oswlek

No, of course not. I just expect a guy who is likely to be the primary backup at OLB to be consistently disruptive against other teams' scrubs. It is too sporatic for my taste.

I saw him limping a little even as he jogged but it appears that he will be OK(thank god).

He was limping on my screen.

I taped the game and I just watched that play again to see how Merriweather was hurt. Two important things, no one rolled into his leg, and no one fell directly on his leg. He looked like he hit his ankle on one of his teammates. That's encouraging IMO. If somebody had rolled into his leg or fell on him he wouldn't have been able to jog off the field. If BB sticks to his routine of past years, these guys won't see the field again until Wednesday. Merriweather will have five days to rest and get treatment.

Woods had nine tackles and two sacks. I really don't understand the problem here.

Oswlek makes a good point about Pierre. Woods is thinking a great deal about his assignments, which makes him appear tentative at the snap. As a result, he looks slower on some plays than he really is. You can almost see him running through a mental ID checklist of responsibilities. In some ways this is actually a good sign, in that he trying to process information at an NFL level, and not running around like a chicken with his head cut off. As the game wore on he got more and more comfortable (and the Giants O got less and less professional) and he was in the backfield regularly. Vs the Giants 1st teamers he got ragdolled. Pierre has excellent range and speed, but lacks the lower body ballast/explosion to flex the corner with a hand on his shoulder, or strike a blow to put an OT off balance. Whether he can develop that ability will determine his future. He will get another year to work on his lower body strength, as he appears a bit too high cut. That said, he was one of 4 defensive players who stood out IMO: Wesley, LK Smith, E. Alexander were the others. Meriweather looks OK. He is making good decisions, playing within the scheme, not trying to prove he's a #1 pick. He seems like a trustworthy, smart player who can contribute at FS. Obviously durability is a concern. In slow mo that was quite a blow he took to his lower leg and at first glance it looked like a traumatic fracture. Wouldn't be surprised if the bone was cracked, or the achilles strained, or just the blunt force trauma of a leg whip leaves him hobbled for some time.

He was on the roster all year, wasn't he? But only active one or two game wheres he caught a couple minor passes? If he couldn't crack the active roster last year witht the WRs we had then, he surely won't crack it this year.

I like Bam every preseason, but he lights up the preseason then fades away. Sort of like Patrick Pass was, except Childress doesn't throw the ball on the ground when he gets hit.

Or in Pass' case - when he doesn't get hit. Hurt bad or not I've still never seen another NFL player drop the ball as a reaction to a pulled or torn hamstring.
