Good tackling for the most part.
TB was on fire
Amendola looked great
Suds looks like a semi gronk out there sometimes
Jones is a BEAST
 
and no discernible injuries...oh wait..the O lineman with a sprained ankle

I think it was far worse than a sprained ankle. Although the guy wasn't going to make the team anyway. Sorry to see a guy get a serious injury.

ya...but other than that the D was good and O was good. D have what 2 coverage sacks? Awesome to see and the only issue with the O was not passing it around but he was passing it to the open guy so i guess it wasn't a bad thing


Really like what i am seeing. Hoping to have a solid season!

I thought the exact same thing. Especially after that TD catch.
 
I liked that Talib got TRUCKED, but he wrapped up teh legs and still made the tackle.

Thats a toughness from a DB we have missed a bit.
 
Thompkins beating out Dobson? Something to keep our eyes on for now.
 
1st team offense and defense were both fantastic. Just can't say enough.

2nd team started slow and got stronger on offense, struggled a little on defense.

3rd team struggled on both sides of the ball, Tebow and Green stood out as the poorest performers for each squad.

Hope Ryan's pick six is a sign of things to come.

Really hard to find something wrong with 1st team O and D out there tonight. Ryans pick 6 is a confidence booster. What he needed
 
RB /FB going at Jones' legs? Seems he flipped a few times. Will that be the blocking strategy on him? He still looks real thin despite the "bulking up" reports. Had a nice game but thoughts on that?

Haven't watched must of the preseason...

Are Thompkins and Dobson the same type of receiver? I've read that Dobson is more the deep threat, typical X receiver. While Thompkins is the possession, Y-type receiver.

Yeah Dobson has the size and speed for the deep ball...but Thompkins is more versatile. But if the pats really do go to more of a 3 WR set. Amendola, Dobson and Thompkins will all be out there...2 WR sets Amendola and i think Thompkins (could be Dobson though) and then 1 WR is Amendola.

Now when gronk comes back things might change especially if Suds turns out to be a diamond in the rough..then back to two TE sets and not just 1 TE
 
Don't know if I'm the only one that thinks Tavon Wilson might not be long for this team....

He was out of position multiple times and showed a general lack of awareness tonight. Harmon unfortunately wasn't much better.
 
he was one of two weak spots tonight...tebow

He has really regressed, but he is a second round pick. He will be given this year to prove himself. Next year he will be cut if he doesn't improve significantly.

Actually from everything I've been reading from Reiss, when they go 3-wide, it's Amendola, Thompkins, and Boyce most of the time, although Dobson has certainly been in that mix as well. Boyce has serious speed and can play all the positions, which i think they like more of in the 3-wide set.

That being said, it's nice to have some excitement for our young WR corp, and the only preference I have is that they put the best players on the field.

Tavon Wilson looks like he belongs in the CFL as a special teamer. It wouldn't shock me at all to see him get cut before opening day against the Bills. He's been beyond brutal.

bwahahah I agree

although theres some people here who will still argue that Tavon is going to be a superstar, and had a great rookie year
