Rell&Gold · 08-11-2024, 01:59 AM

36,30,6,34,99,28,58,59,17,Kolker all looked good

55,27,74,Penning looked rough. Foskey can go I just don't see it Saints can't draft a decent linemen to dave their life.

Haener looked pretty good. That bomb to Perry was nice. Should be a good confidence boost for Perry as well. With him as a 3-4 WR I think the corps can be pretty solid.

Rattler looked good to. Would like to see the two switch groups for the next preseason game to see what happens.

-Young looks dominant.
-Kool-Aid is legit.
-Holler can make plays.
-Rattler has the arm talent.
-Gay Jr. was a great signing.
-Perry is a gamer for sure.
-Clutch, powerful kick for the win.
-Everyone competed.

We should be done with Carr after that terrible deep ball he threw to Olave down the right sideline. I’ll have to go back and see if his arm was hit on the play. That’s the only explanation for such poorly thrown ball.

Payton Turner was disruptive and left the game healthy.

The Good:
- Fuaga.... DAYUM! His first step on pass protect is Pro level already! Nice pick up for the blindside!
- Gay....as my Grandmother would say, he's like horse $#it on a farm! He's all over the place!
- Defense as a Unit.... Top 5 even without a lot of our starters!

The Bad:
- Carr...I agree with several others. His reaction to progressions seems slow. I hope this is a result of Kubiak toning down the Offense until the regular season.
- DA... clock management at the end of the game was kind of weak. That pass rush is going to be something special!
- TE stable... Non-factors. We need our starters bad.

The Ugly:
- Non-starters on D... Run D and Pass D were both lacking for being against 3rd stringers.
- Penning... his footwork is atrocious. He's a run blocker only at this phase. He's going to get his QB murdered if they don't watch how he's being used.

Other Things on Notice:
- Nacua 2.0... Watch him. He's got talent.
- Kickers... Instead of going for it on 4th, let's see if they have some accuracy from 50+
- Special Teams... Looks like there are some opportunities with the new Kick Off rules. Rizzi has them looking pretty tight right now.

Guard and Tackle are still huge question marks. Patrick wasn't great but Penning moves on the field like an Australian Olympic Break-dancer.

It's the first preseason game so I'm eager to see if/how every bounces back.

Did Foskey or Turner make plays?

Those two positions are legit concerns.

Foskey shows very little. When he engages at the point of attack, seems to be stuck in mud. Slow. No rip or swim moves. Nothing.

Payton Turner was good. Very good last night. Hopefully he stays healthy.

Yeah, the very poor throw that got tipped/batted is a disaster waiting to happen. Not a pass a presumably seasoned highly paid hurler should even remotely think of letting go.

Hate to even utter that WutTheFoskey is earning his sarcastically adorned moniker. Is this a ND talent pool issue? It just seem that of late all ND talents don't pan out in the NFL. Hoping still that WTFoskey proves us all wrong. He needs to step up bigly.
