made from watching the TV feed, have yet to watch replay (don't think I want to)
-really uninspiring effort, by players who had to have understood they are hanging by a thread to even make the PS, never mind the 53 man roster. my pet peeve, missed tackles, were front and center.
-my camp binkie, B Morton, took a couple of steps back last night in my opinion. it wasn't the int's per se. but the bad reads/decisions, that has me thinking a roster spot may be too valuable with this roster to house 3 QB's.
-even with a new holder, Borregales was money. Haak also looks like he will be ok if Barringer is not ready.
-the Pats back 7 looked lethargic, a step too slow, and over matched by Gabriel. tell me Bobby Wagner does not inject some life into this defense immediately. you put Spillane and Wagner out there, with Elliss and OB in a back up role, and this defense is simply much better and much deeper, albeit more expensive.
-I again saw Jacas lose the edge a couple of times. Imo, that will keep him off the field in the regular season, and it would appear the team will need him to contribute right away.
-I am not going to get too excited about Williams beating back up CB's, but it is nice to see. I also thought Dixon made a case for a PS spot.
-I understand no 1st team players were on the field, but the Pats defensive pressure on Gabriel was non existent.
-I can't remember a preseason where not only the starters, but arguably the teams top 25-28 players, did not take a single snap in any of the games. I assume joint practices make the games less meaningful, but it's an interesting decision by Vrabel.
-I think H Haskins can be that Jennings type fill in RB from the PS if needed. he seemingly is strong between the tackles and can grab some yards after contact. But I still see Larison offering more simply with his passing game ability. I still have Larison in that 3rd RB spot.
-from my recollection, no injuries to report, perhaps other than Gonzo's feelings. I assume we see some cut downs and additions from other teams coming and going. the back end of the roster certainly could use something. I hope Wagner is seriously considered
