First Half Recap

[Ricky Spanish]

Corral looks like he hasn't taken any practice reps all training camp.

Ickey apparently has looked shaky, which is incredibly concerning. I really like Ickey, but I wanted Cross because he was a better pass blocker right out the gate. He needs to pick things up quicker if we are going to be halfway decent.

Dang, don't read into the negative nancies here. 2nd string D dominated the pats starters for the first quarter and a half. Second strong O minus ickey and Brady also played decent against their ones. Couldn't finish the drives, but overall very optimistic in my mind.

Ickey allowed two sacks, looked good otherwise. I think Cross had 5 penalties last game so they are all learning at this point. I don’t remember the last first round LT that came in and played flawless from the start, so I’m not too concerned. But I’m optimistic by nature.

Every one of the QBs really likes throwing to Kirkwood I've noticed. Think he'll end up the 6th WR.

Locks: DJ, Robbie, TMJ, Shi

Higgins is likely making the roster. If we keep a 6th I agree Kirkwood is probably the guy although Zylstra has looked pretty solid lately too. Saunders was reportedly having a good camp but has been invisible lately. No one else stands out as having any chance of making the roster. Really happy for Kirkwood if he does make it, after the injury last year's training camp his odds of sticking around were looking slim.

Man the offense does not look any better. Yes I know it’s preseason #2 but damn!

They were moving the ball against the 1st string Pat's defense.. With only 2 starters playing .. That's not bad...

Cross had 5 penalties vs the Bears last night..

Two linemen at that... Minus your QB, the world best all purpose RB (he's healthy right now) DJ yeah.... nothing to be complaining about.

Yep. Sewell looked shaky his first action. He came along quite well last year.

I really don't know what he was thinking with the should've been pick six throw. I couldn't even tell who he was trying to throw to. He hit the Pats DB in stride right on the hands. Looked like he was throwing to him.

Watch the replay it’s not a hard on to follow. His guy was there, the LB just dropped into coverage and Matt telegraphed it the entire way staring down first read. It’s not like he was throwing to air, just a really bad decision to not move off your first read (or most likely he never saw the LB drop and just missed the coverage)
