WFT 2021 Pre-Season Games Thread

[htownskinfan]

Offense was def underwhelming tonight with Patterson looking like best player on the field,to me he looks like a clone of Darren Sproles.Fitzmagic was a good signing but I want to see Heineken get his shot,he has the wheels like RG3 and the pocket awareness RG3 didn’t have.

Dude, saying the defense needs to be on its game in the season isn't some shocking statement. Just a note of caution after hoping to see more explosiveness even in the preseason.

I just wouldn't put any stock into what the defense did cause Burrow was not playing. The one time we did play him we basically could not them their offense. It looked like the Bengals have high school QB's behind him.

Their run game did nothing, or very little the first half, which obviously has less to do with the quarterback and was a major issue for WFT last year. Neither of WFT starting CBs was playing last night. Couple of miscommunications and near INTs from Fitz are more of the concern, that was FitzTragic rearing its head. Hopefully he gets it out of his system in the PS. Noticed that Saddiq Charles is exclusively playing OT ( both L & R) so far in the preseason, Ron could be preparing to go with 9 OL so he can keep more of the ST guys who are on the bubble.

It is just Preseason though. Hopefully playing time will give our guys a head start in the first two weeks of the season compared to those who are sitting out the PS.

Haven't finished the game yet, but one thing: Ereck Flowers starting at LG ahead of Schweitzer. In line with what I thought I had seen from him last season, and what we saw last week.
Schweitzer was a nice surprise, and is a quality back up but Flowers is just the better man IMO, he stood out last week.

The defense did what it is supposed to do in preseason- stuff the offense in front of them without complex scheming. Beat the match up man on man and make individual plays. There were a bunch of stellar plays by individuals.

The 1st team offense did not do what it is supposed to do, which is not turn the ball over, convert 4th and 1s, put the ball in the endzone. The plays were there but the team, and Fitz, missed them.

Can the offense correct it and be explosive come week 1? Absolutely. Is the offense ahead of the defense and clicking on all cylinders? Definitely not.

Chase looks ready to stack some stats this year.

Henieke looked hesitant. Not trusting his eyes, holding the ball then having to scramble.

LBs may be the weak link again this year.

Yeah I still don't get why we didn't sign a FA LB...
We know we'll have to be a little bit patient with Jamin Davis, complicated position in the NFL.

One thing from yesterday:

Contrary to last week, Jamin Davis stayed on quite a lot of occasions in nickel packages, in the first quarter.
He was even the one LB on a 3rd and down dime personnel (the St Juste deflection leading to a FG after Cam Sims' fumble).

They tried all three different combinations on nickel, Bostic/Holcomb (the norm last week), Bostic/Davis, and Holcomb/Davis.

I think it tells something about the rookie's progress in practice.

Through the first half.

St Juste and Torry McTyer looking really good.

DB squad is crowded but it'll be interesting to see who makes it...

Sure Locks: WJ3, Fuller, Collins, Curl, Moreland, St Juste, McCain

Likely to make it: Everett, Danny Johnson (kick return), Torry McTyer (looking really good in ps and getting ), Darrick Forrest

Likely cuts: Troy Apke, Reaves (love the guy but... Numbers...)

Probably won't keep 11 dbs, so ... Who you cutting ?

It's gonna be tough. I think St Juste and McTyer make it, I think Johnson Reaves and Forrest are cut with Reaves and Forrest to PS if they make it. I think teams will be looking at our defense cuts for sure.

Moreland might be a surprise cut.

Man. Ron gives so many good, in depth, answers in this interview. He seems so comfortable in this position, you have to feel confidence in what the team is doing!

Yeah with Patterson also doing good in return duties, maybe Johnson gets cut too.
I'd be really surprised if Moreland is not in the 53 though, he's been really good and getting a lot of reps with the ones in PS.

Two last things after finishing the game:

-Darrick Forrest looks so big out there, he could become a very hard hitting safety for us IMO.

-Yes Fitzpatrick was off on some throws, but he throws such a beautiful back shoulder ball... 2 weeks in a row now. He seems to naturally find connection with guys, like they been playing together for years. Last week Thomas, now Dyami Brown. We're gonna enjoy those !

Patterson is special. The player comp for me is Michael Turner, or MJD. Brown is a deep threat who’ll contribute. St Juste has played well all summer.

The WR spot will be interesting after Terry, Humphries, Samuel, and Brown. AGG, C. Sims, Sims Jr could be fighting for one spot. If we’re going off preseason, after friday night, AGG has moved ahead of C. Sims.

I hope that is not the case. I don't remember ever seeing "QB by committee" being successful. The Saints were able to sprinkle in T Hill with D Brees, but that's not what we have here with Fitz and Heinicke.

Fitz will win the starting QB position outright, but I think the jury is still out with regard to who will be the backup. I wouldn't count out K Allen just yet.
