Observations from Saint's Loss vs Texans

SmashMouth · 08-27-2023, 11:11 PM

Last preseason game comes to an end.

Tough cuts coming. Too close to call for some.

Haener has moxy, but needs to use more targets than just Krull. Texans weren't playing nice with the blitzes. It was nonetheless a good way to evaluate guys.

It's for real next time fellahs and fellettes !

If by “moxy” you mean little future in the league I agree.

Haener would’ve set the record for INT’s in a game if playing against starters.

Miller better figure out how to get **** going ASAP. Averaging 1.8 yard’s basically all of preseason isn’t going to help. Also runs straight in to the would be defender and let’s

He had some tunnel vision BAD in the last 6 minutes. Krull, Krull, and more Krull. Not reading his progressions and trying to hit a home run when their D was giving away other options made zero sense. Their secondary was all over Krull in that last 1:30, but he kept trying to force feed him. Haener's immaturity showed big time. Kinda disappointing, but he's a rookie.

Bresee showed nice quickness and 2 awesome spin moves.

Was nice to see him and Foskey collapse the pocket

Haener has a lot to learn, but I don't think we should be so quick to give up on him. I don't think he's going to ever be our guy, but learning how to deal with certain things that are thrown at you in the NFL can take some adjusting time, so I'm crossing my fingers that he can develop into something. I don't think we have a backup QB that I trust right now. It could be a real problem.
