So there was a play early in the game where Brandon Lloyd totally burned Aquib Talib for a pass in the end zone and Lloyd drops the pass (granted it would have been a tough catch if he hauled it in). I guess that is a sight I never thought I would see.
I don't know. I just felt both were spotlight players for the Pats during their short time here for different reasons. I just thought it was a little bizarre. I guess you and probably others won't agree with me.
BTW, I know it is only preseason and those two teams face each other in the regular season, but I was rather unimpressed with the Broncos' starting defense. I think bad throws and drops stopped drives for the 49ers' starting offense more than anything the Broncos did.
I was just reading NFL.com and was a bit surprised to see this:
There are questions in San Francisco whether (Steve) Johnson has even locked up the No. 3 receiver job ... Johnson is competing with Brandon Lloyd, Quinton Patton, and rookie Bruce Ellington for snaps. It's hard to believe the 49ers would keep Lloyd over Johnson, but it's not a great sign that Johnson hasn't secured the No. 3 job at this stage. He's paid like a guy that needs to be on the field plenty.
I always thought Johnson was a pretty good player with Buffalo and, based on that and what we saw of Lloyd here, that wouldn't be much of a competition.
