Sorry for the lack of action on the blog today. Ironically we’re in Boston for a wedding and almost entirely off the grid except for one partially functioning blackberry on which I’m typing this now.
I managed to catch the second half last night and watch some of the recaps, but until I get a chance to “pour over the film” early next week there won’t be any breakdowns of the first half of the game or any schematic or personnel insight.
Thoughts on the second half and the general scuttlebutt:
Glad Chandler looked legit, can’t wait to see it for myself.
Slightly concerned about Solder and Cannon but I think Mankins and Waters can and will stabilize things for them. And I really would like to see Vollmer back.
Vereen had some real burst, surprised he hasn’t flashed more at practice.
Ras-I really looked good to me. And he didn’t get hurt.
Mallet’s going to kill someone with an errant pass.
Trevor Scott needed that sack and forced fumble at the end of the game.
Gregory and Chung both getting interceptions is a good sign.
Was kind of hoping the new Nike uniforms would look a little more cool but they just looked like the old unis.
Hard (and foolish) to read too much into the first preseason game, but it was fun to finally see the boys in blue back on the turf.
We’ll be back in the Ministry of Pats Prop on Tuesday, until then things will be a little slow around here.
