Takeaways From the Game

The Good:

• When we play this bad Mixon doesn't attempt as many stupid adjectives - there were likely less than 300 last night.
• Gaulden may have made mistakes, but he was one of a few who looked like he was trying.
• Cam had his best hat to date.
• If Kyle Allen doesn't make the squad, he has a future in baseball, some of the best knucklers I've seen in a while.
• The best time management, (end of first half), I've seen from the team in quite a while - whatever was different, it worked. 
• Brian Cox chased a play down well past the line of scrimmage, good effort - wished he'd learned from the State Trooper and caught him though.

The Bad

• 3-4 / 4-3 / 7-12 or whatever - fat Kelvin Benjamin would have looked all pro against our middle last night. If we don't tighten that up, we are in trouble.
• Moton didn't just look like he learned from Kalil, he looked like Kalil.
• Wade juked one Panther then ran right through three gals who pretended to attempt tackles.  The Panthers used to be exemplary tacklers but that has been quite a while. We are becoming one of the softer teams in the league.
• Speaking of soft, our entire O-Line looks awful. I'm glad Cam sat out. Take Wesley Walls off the golf course and plug him in anywhere on the line and it's an upgrade.
• Will Grier throws a nice ball - just to the wrong place, wrong team, etc.
• I respect Reid's SJ passion, but if he wants to be mad, how about during the game?
• Mick Mixon - hearing an old replay from Rosinski reminded me just how bad he is.  I really believe he is a good guy, just cannot listen to that for any length of time.When I am traveling, I use an app that helps me find radio broadcast of the other team.

This gaulden fellow you speak of... 

he was determined to be a bust weeks ago. Therefore any good news is unacceptable as he has been labeled already.

Temarrick Hemingway lookin good too, I believe he is pushing Alex Amah HARD. 

It was interesting to see him get the majority of the snaps at TE last night.  I don't believe any of our top 3 TE's got any reps. 

Now some of that could been b/c Olsen was sitting & Thomas was hurt, but it could be an indication the team is going to use a lot more 2 TE sets and we will need more depth.

I still think Armah makes the team b/c of his overall versatility.  He does a lot of practice with the TE's, is our only true FB, and can be a short-yardage RB.

Still, the team obviously wanted to get a good, long look at Hemingway.  I do think they will try to sign him to the practice squad at least
