Stock Up, Stock Down (Preseason Game 1)

[XClown1986]

Who ya got?

Stock Up: Damiere Byrd, Joe Webb, David Mayo, Jared Norris, Kaelin Clay, Christian McCaffrey (shocking I know), first team OL, Kelvin Benjamin

Stock Down: DL after first team (SOOOO many mistakes and missed opportunities), Cole Luke, Austin Duke, and I'll throw Funchess in there too (didn't do much at all despite the hype)

[MurkN]

Stock Up: Harrison Butker

Stock Down: Graham Gano

[Snake]

KB made Joseph look like a rookie DB. Not a easy thing to do. 

[LinvilleGorge]

I was pretty darn pleased with what we saw out of our first string on both sides of the ball. The D wasn't pretty once the starters went to the sidelines. Byrd looked very promising. Other than the errant throw that led to the INT, Webb looked really damn good.

Damn, dude. Funchess barely played.

Well, he's 6-5. Benji is expected to that every Sunday.

6-5 doesn't mean poo when a elite CB locks you down. He out positioned Joseph and owned him. Like I said not easy to do to a elite CB.

Norris looks really good.  I know, consider the opposing talent, but I'm impressed.  

Byrd, Norris, CMC, Moton, Clay all looked great.

mans dogging him for making 1 catch on 4 plays.... the jurys still out though, hopefully he gets a solid half in the next couple weeks and we can get a better sample.

Yea Byrd needs first team reps to see if he can get by the best. 

[top dawg]

Yeah, I've been wanting him to get some real first team reps since last year this time, and certainly once the season was basically done in November. Perhaps this will put some fire under the coaches' asses.

It's only preseason but seeing KB bounce off the CB and hit em with the stiff arm was encouraging. If he stays engaged and aggressive I have high hopes for this year.

KK destroyed the middle of the Texans o-line

[OldNorthPowell]

Stock Up: Joe Webb, Damiere Byrd, David Mayo, Jared Norris, Kaelin Clay, Christian McCaffrey, CAP, Entire OL (starters and backups) , Kelvin Benjamin, Teddy Williams, Cole Luke, KK, James Bradberry, Daryl Worley, and Harrison Butker.

Stock Down: Ben Boulware (seemed slow for a linebacker at this level), Graham Gano, Fozzy Whittaker, Jeremy Cash, and Austin Duke.

It's about fuging time my boy Byrd gets some recognition. But I admit, of course, that he still has a ways to go. But Damiere is one of the most improved players in the NFL this year. He went from fringe practice squad hopeful to forcing his way onto a 53 man roster. I don't think any future GM can deny this.
