To me, Holcomb looked bad. If I was told one QB had been in the league for 10 years and the other for two, I wouldn't have been able to pick the right one.
Losman actually looked comfortable back there. I saw a sideline interview with Evans and he said that he was impressed at how JP looked in the pocket. JP skipped a couple balls which is a concern but on others he drilled the ball right in there. Plus, he looked to get rid of the ball without taking off first. I like what I see with JP.
Receivers: Reed dropped the first ball thrown to him. That just drives me nuts. I didn't see anything from him. I liked what I saw from Aiken, especially the special teams. Not much else from the receivers.
Running backs: I don't think Shaud will make the team this year. He is NOT an option as a return man with all the good returners we have. I like A-train better than him and I think Gates looks real good as the backup to McGahee. Oh, and goodbye to Burns as well unless he is some kind of God on special teams.
Tight Ends: I liked what I saw from Kevin Everett. Nice to see him make some plays after hearing what a bad camp he was having.
Oline: Didn't look too bad, didn't open many holes for McGahee but it is only the first preseason game and I don't expect much from them right now.
Lindel: I am beginning to feel better about him with those two long field goals.
Safety: With Whitner finally coming in there seemed to be a big difference with his speed. I think he will start from opening day and he will do well. I liked what I saw even though he was playing against second stringers. I like what we have at safety for this year.
Cornerback: I think that this team won't do extremely well this year and we have some good young corners. I think we should make an effort to sign Clements now or trade him before the deadline. No sense in letting him walk for nothing. McGee will be a decent if not great corner and King/Greer/Youboty should be able to take over the spot and learn on the job. I also like seeing the corners closer to the line of scrimmage and taking the receiver down shortly after he catches the ball.
Linebacker: Seem to have good depth, but Carolina seemed to move the ball at well against our first team. I hope Spikes will be back close to 100%.
Defensive line: Looked to be manhandled by Carolina's Oline early on. Most impressive was K. Williams. He seemed to be in on every play. Didn't hear McCargo's name called at all. I seem to hear Denney's name much more than Kelsay's name.
I know it is only one preseason game but I liked what I saw from: Losman, K. Williams, L. Gates, S. Aiken, Lindell, and Whitner.
