The really Official Patriots vs Giants Preseason Game Thread

Why did I think that a knee counted as a second foot? I must be confusing in one of the rules that count a runner as down.

I can't get a TV feed of the game, so thanks to everyone for the detailed comments. What I've gleaned so far (in no particular order):

Offense:

1. Garoppolo continues to impress.
2. Tim Wright looks impressive for a guy who just got here, looks much bigger than 220#, runs well in traffic, has decent hands, and has lined up as a move TE at times.
3. The OL doesn't look terrible, especially Kline and Stork. Halapio has not impressed. Devey/Barker haven't been bad at LT.
4. Dobson has been dominant against scrubs. Boyce and Gallon look like fodder, or worse.
5. James White doesn't impress as a runner, but has solid 3rd-down back skills.

Defense:

1. Malcolm Butler continues to make plays.
2. James Morris got hurt - not sure how serious it looks.
3. Buchanan and Zach Moore look impressive.
4. Overall, the backup defensive unit has been solid.

Not sure about how Jerel Worthy has looked, and haven't heard Darius Fleming mentioned much. Is Nate Ebner getting time as safety, or just on STs, and if the former, has he shown the ability to perhaps be more than a STer?

Does that sound about right?

Way off topic here but hey it's the last PS game so why not. Taylor McCuller.. his last name reminded me of a FB we had here for about a year or so about ten years ago that I completely forgot about, Fred McCrary..

Anyone else remember him?

They talked about it on TV too, he had a playbook his first 2 years but his final 2 years they used 'chess pieces and just played Football every week for 2 years without a playbook like you would with friends'. Or words to that effect.
