Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)

He also is not better than Graham Harrell, who is in the CFL.

:yeahright

I'm surprised that no one picked up Harrell just for camp fodder.

Harrell was more of a system QB then a pure passer.

Wow, I have not gotten past the first page. Between last week and this week I've heard nothing but positives about Marcus Mason. Hmmm, not to toote my own horn but....I told you so ;) Where are all the "He won't make it in this league," "He can't pass block," " He's only good against second stringers" people?

Shhhhhhhhhhhh. You don't have to say a word. :)

I should make my list again:

QB; JC, Colt, Chase.
RB; Portis, Mason, Alridge or Dorsey.
WR; Moss, Kelly, ARE, Thomas, Mitchell.

I'd keep Wilson and find someone else to let go.
Let Westbrooke and Tryon go unless we need them.

I said it once and will say it again. ..Colt is a good QB if you are looking for someone like a Bret Favre. Somoeone who will take chances with the ball down the field but will also have interceptions.

Honestly though I'm glad Mason is stepping up finally. also like the speed backs we have. With one of them and Thomas being able to KR/PR Rock is expendable and now maybe Betts also. I like Betts but if we are looking for Portis's replacement for the future, someone he can help develope then I think Mason is it.

Colt doesn't have the arm to be worth called anything close to Favre or 'like Brett Favre'.

He is already better then Jordan Palmer, Dennis Dixon, Kyle Boller, Alex Smith to name a few. I bet he wouldn't make it one day if he was released. You gotta keep Colt, if we cut him whose going to make videos with Chris Cooley?

It kinda amazes me the level of assuredness that fans have about a guy who has never taken a regular season snap and has looked awful this preseason and is probably 50/50 to make the final 53 as a 3rd string QB. I really wonder if people like him because guys can relate to him. He's not that big, he slings it around like it's a backyard game, he's just like me! Well, there's a reason you are on the couch dude.

Sorry for the mini rant..

On to last night:
-The secondary didn't do a very good job of adjusting early on, but if this were a regular season game, I don't think that Hall would be isolated on Moss nearly as much.
-The penalties were ridiculous. Preseason or not, it's the little things that kill you. Getting an unsportsmanlike from the bench? That's not keeping it medium, Z.
-Shaun Suisham, buh-bye. That's exactly why you have competition now, because you miss to many FG and seem confused as to why. Now I don't know if Rayner is any better but I've seen enough of Shazam.

This may not be the right place for this but I think Z/Vinny could make 2 gutsy calls that could improve this team's explosiveness. Mitchell is at least the #5 WR and Thomas is probably the #4. Could Thomas replace Rock as the primary KR? Mason and Aldridge gave a dynamic we haven't had in a long time. Do we explore an opportunity to trade Betts? Portis, Mason, Aldridge is much more dynamic to me than Portis/Betts/Rock. Just a thought.

Plus having Crabtree didnt hurt either.

We will see about Brennan vs Daniel against the Jags. Should be interesting to say the least. If Coach doesn't put in Chase, that is just going to piss me off. We got a steal in Marko it seems and might get a steal in Daniel if he plays like he did against the Steelers.

Harrell was more of a system QB then a pure passer.Funny, cause, you could say the same thing about PJ5.

Doesn't necessarily validate the notion, but anything Brennan has done is something that (I believe) Harrell has done better.

Chase does have the better looking girlfriend
