Quick Thoughts on Preseason Week 1

Hey guys, not going super in-depth right now, just wanted to share a handful of quick noes and thoughts about what I saw last night and if anyone had anything to add.

  • White on white unis looked great in my opinion, very clean.
  • 1st team Offense looks solid, OL looks passable. Gase obviously isn't running his full gameplan in preseason, but I think Herndon up the seam and Crowder on drags is something we're going to see a lot of this year.
  • Not a good enough look at 1st team Defense to say much.
  • Siemian looks like a prototypical backup NFL QB. Good signing.
  • Blake Cashman is very fast and looked like he was everywhere, reiterating what we've heard from his great camp.
  • Frankie Luvu should get more time with the 1's in sub packages.
  • Catanzaro should no longer be employed by the NY Jets.
  • The depth at CB is super concerning. Kyron Brown's great camp did not translate to the game. Derrick Jones looked slow footed. Parry Nickerson looked over-matched. It's not great that we;re one snap away from one of these guys getting meaningful reps in the regular season.
  • Davis Webb is bad at playing QB.
  • Luke Falk is not quite as bad.
  • Trenton Cannon's only chance at cracking this roster is as a punt team gunner. McGuire doesn't look like he'll make it barring an injury.
  • Val Holmes most likely wont make the roster this year, but there is potential there. On his few touches, he looked faster and like he had more burst than anyone on the field. Vision is still pretty poor, but the physical traits are certainly there.
  • Greg Dortch should lock up the Punt Return man gig fairly easily,
  • The Matt Darr-Lachlan Edwards competition is dumb. Lach has been good, cut Darr and sign a Kicker.
  • Jachai Polite looked over-matched most of the game. Didn't see the rush moves or strength at the point of attack, looked small and slow compared to the OT's he was trying to beat.
  • Gase taking smelling salts before a preseason game is patently ridiculous, but whatever it's funny. It will stay funny as long as the team plays well. If the team takes a down turn, all these psychotic tendencies of his will become points of contention.
