UP
Edmund Gates (way up)
Vontae Davis
Brian Daboll (loving all the vertical routes)
Jimmy Wilson (way up)
Phillip Livas (Marlon Moore just lost what little chance he had to make this team)
Roberto Wallace
Benny Sapp (this one I might be alone on)
AJ Edds
Jared Odrick
Matt Moore (reminded me of Mark Sanchez- feet never stop moving, mobility and pocket awareness is a nice change)
Special Teams

DOWN
Offensive Line/Sparano (OL is his baby) (way down) - bc of this it was impossible to truly evaluate our RBs
Defensive Line (i don't know specifically)
Nate Ness
Tyrone Culver
Dan Carpenter (he still can't kick it in the end zone even with rule change- but can't hate too much, he's still Fins offensive MVP)
Pat Devlin (from reading all the reports, I expected more)
Anthony Fasano (what's the deal with fasano's poor play in the georgia dome)
Chad Henne (1 had pick, 5 wide and he checks down, still looks like a robot, offense looks to stale- cant think of a better word to use- with him under center)
 
UP:
gates
wilson
wallace
livas
vontae
sheets ran hard

down:
oline
fasano
dline


Down:
 
shees didnt impress me to be honest. I'd go with lex as our 3rd back.
 
Hard to tell from one preseason game, but based on it...

UP: Gates, Wallace, both Moores, Wilson, Livas.

Down: Fasano, Devlin, run blocking, Henne.

Good thing they weren't major ups and downs. We still have 3 more preseason games to figure everything out (I hope).
 
Sheets didn't impress me either. Neither did Marlon Moore (he did have one sweet ST tackle though)
 
Down

Interior OL
Henne
Fasano
Sheets
Ness
Culver
Carroll
Polite
Ireland - so far Ingram/Mallett looking better than Pouncey/Thomas

Up

Matt Moore - week 1 starter
Jimmy Wilson
Gates
Odrick
Edds
Wallace
Murtha
Daniel Thomas - the reception
Livas
Sapp
 
This Offensive Line is starting to get on my nerves.
 
I know its only one meaningless game, but really liked Matt Moore
 
I agree with most of the up and down choices.

I did notice that in the 2nd half Ryan Baker played outstanding and carried the DL. I still think they should make him the backup NT.
 
Stock Up:
Bringing back the white cleats. I hated the black look. Made them look slow.
 
Haven't seen anything but highlights yet. Noticed though that Edds racked up 7 tackles, a tackle for loss and a sack. That's a pretty respectable nights work for a full game, let alone a quarter or two.

Burnetts arrival may hurt his chances of starting in the 7, Edds is one guy who would have liked Crowder to stick around. Still I think he's a very smart player. Great to see him productive so early.

Agree with all of this although I'd swap out run blocking and just mention the poor offensive line as a whole.
