On a positive note there have been some nice surprises with a few players so far.
I like the LB Glenn alot - he looks like he has a high motor and makes plays. I really hope he makes the team. I heard alot of talk about Spragan being avg when he was signed - he looks great - he covers alot of ground. I could see Zach, Seau, Spragan, Glenn, and Pope at LB with maybe 1 more for ST as well.
Boston looks scary. If you line up 3 wide with Chambers, Booker, and Boston that is dangerous. I hope we keep some young hungry guys other than the undependable Thompson.
I like Morris at RB - he runs hard. Gordon looks terrible. He is so hesitant all the time. I'd say Ronnie, Ricky, and Morris are a tough 3. Ricky looked good - very quick.
I liked Shaw at DT - he looks tough. I know it's early but I'm sorry - Wright looks terrible. He looks like a boy among men. I saw a couple plays where he actually turned his back once he made contact with the Oline - are you kidding me? It was not a spin move either. It was a - ok you got me now stop blocking me turn. He can't be more than a practice squad option. I cant see the risk of another team picking him up - based on what?
Even though he hasn't done much yet I still like the motor of Roth and think once he gets adjusted to the speed of the game he will be fine. D Bowens looks like he is ready to break out - I really hope he can stay healthy.
Lastly, I disagree with an earlier post - I thought Tillman played well against Jax. He made some good plays. I just think the secondary is going to need time. I do agree we need another DB but they will improve together as a unit.
Oops one more - watching Feeley makes me want to get sick. At some point you just have to cut your loss. Sage has earned the backup job and no way can you have Feely 3rd can you? Thanks Rick for the 2nd and 3rd rd picks you gave up for Feely and Gordon (both 3rd stringers with their former teams at the time) - great trades! Hope the door didn't hit you in the a@# on the way out.
