I guess we'll get a pretty good look at him, hopefully a full array of routes.

One thing I'm a little curious is that we haven't seen Fitz tried the fade route even though we've been at RZ a few times throughout the preseason. I'd think Easley would be the top candidate to try his hands there, kind of like they did when hardy was here. Maybe Gailey is hiding that play from KC for now so that they don't even know what personnel group or Easley's lineup on that kind of play.

David Nelson is the other receiver who should be effective with fade routes in the end zone, and Shawn Nelson if he can ever get on the field.

It's preseason so we run base packages and simple vanilla schemes. Not surprised by the absence of certain routes an plays.

shawn nelson should be cut.........another waste draft pick by mauron and crew.

Easley needs to play because he's missed so much time over that past two years. However, he's going to be playing with and against 2nd and 3rd teamers. I don't think he's performance tonight will tell us much.

Kyle Williams is sitting out. This means Torell Troup will get the start with the first-team defense tonight.

That should be interesting to watch.

good. I think this is also the first time Troups cast in his broken arm are coming off.

Wouldn't expect much penetration if the club was still on.

I don't expect David Nelson to run fade pattern. He and Roscoe are 3rd down specialists whoc will have more freedom in routes than normal - the key for them is to find the soft spots quickly. Nelson seems to have a knack to find those spots in a defense whereas Roscoe has unparalleled short area quickness to gain separation from anyone.

Stevie/Jones are the types to run that kind of routes. Easley has added advantage of his leaping ability which makes it ideal.

I missed the game, anything of note to add about Easley or Troups performances?

Re: Easley will play a lot tonight

I think Troup had a TFL. In fact, when I first got on and accessed ESPN's Gamecast (it was 7-0 at that point), it said we had 5 TFL's, which sounded pretty good. Don't remember who all had them, Merriman was probably another one, someone was listed with 2.

Easley stank as a jittery rook would. Drops all across the board (except Aiken I believe). Davis made a play or two, but unless Nix has a soft spot for him, he won't make it over the other guys.
