Some of this may have been said already, but here goes:
-Dareus is a beast. He fought off a double team to get the sack.
-Barnett missed an open field tackle that led to a big gain but made up for it later with a great open field tackle on the screen play
-Even the Denver announcers thought the late hit on Batten was BS.
-None of our LB's can cover the pass, and our DB's aren't much better
-McKelvin is below average.
-Troup was consistently neutralized by second-teamers (although he did get one good pressure). Heard was better.
-I saw a lot of 4 man fronts from both the 1st and 2nd string D. Wanny influence, or just the reality of our lack of LB's?
-Jasper was unimpressive against 3rd stringers.
-The OL is god-awful. Bell and Pears were particularly bad.
-TE Chandler can't block worth a damn.
-Spiller had a few good runs.
-I liked the slant Steve Johnson caught in Champ Bailey's face, and I like the way he went after Rahim Moore after the cheap shot on Jones.
-The first team O couldn't score, even after moving the ball well on the first drive, and even on the drive where Denver spotted them 35 yards in penalties. This is a very discouraging sign.
-Easley had a key drop with the 1st team but looked a little better with the 2nd team. None of the WR's on this team seem ready to take over for Evans. Hopefully getting Parrish back will help.
-The Bills, the Broncos and the Denver fans were classy on the White injury. Hopefully he's ok.
-The White injury highlights how dangerously thin we are at RB.
-Thigpen is terrible. If this OL gets Fitz hurt, as they likely will, we will definitely be in the Luck sweepstakes.
-Levitre can kick some ass against 3rd stringers
-Huggins showed good body control on the TD.
-I realize it was the 4th qtr of a preseason game, but did we really run a ****ing option play? Really? If we are going to use the Wildcat and Brad Smith properly, we're going to have to do better than that.
-Smith did look decent throwing the ball, even if it was against nobody's at the end of the gam.
-TE Pianalto looked decent, although, again, it was against 3rd stringers.
-Moorman boomed a couple of punts. Good to see him back to form, even if he was aided by the thin Denver air.
-As a Notre Dame fan, it was good to see Brady Quinn move the ball. I just wish it wasn't against us.
-There were very few penalties on either team, especially for preseason. That's a good sign and a far cry from the Jauron years.
-Tebow was... meh. Just as I thought he'd be in the NFL.
