U know it happens every year lol. The players don't give a shit about the score. In fact the NFL should just start calling it a scrimmage.

If cravens is out again for significant time that would blow. I hope that dude isn't another "what could have been " player

Not really what I was hoping from Perine. Bit disappointing

With that...Good and Bad

Good:

Zach Brown Band. Get his ass on the field somehow for most snaps.
Harvey-Clemons...guy was around the ball all night. was impressed.
Allen-Anderson - the Bama boys quietly big time last night
Safety - Everrett...shoulda pick it, was in on some decent coverage
I thought the Dline was up and down as a unit, but some individual decent performance.

Bad:
2nd team Oline got destroyed in the second quarter
Perine was bad...IMO Chris Thompson needs to get the ball more especially running.
Can we hold onto the ball and stop fumbling?
CB Fuller...not great.

Hopkins looked good ;-)

I just can't take pre season seriously. What a dog of a game. I guess I was disappointed in Perine. He didn't look like he belonged at all. Maybe just a bad night. First team o-line for the few plays they were in looked terrible.

I hope this kicks up the intensity in camp. From what I heard...too easy going in Richmond. I want to hear about some nastiness. Like to hear about some trench war fare between 1st teams Dline and Oline. Oline was not up to par last night on first and second teams

Z Brown - I heard on sports talk radio that he doesnt know all the D calls yet. I assume that will take some more time but shouldnt keep him off the field come week 1.

Skins 2nd drive on that 3rd and 1 that was stuffed in the backfield - missed assignment/communication btw Moses and TE Davis (I think it was davis lined up right next to Moses). We saw that more than we should have last year. Should be a good learning moment.

Injuries - yikes. MRIs of the knees of 2 heavy contributors sucks. Especially for Cravens who could use the PS to get re-adjusted to SS.

Bama boys - looked good. My initial impression of Ryan Anderson is that he likes mixing it up.

Phil Taylor - big guy looked good. Hopefully he doesnt tire and slow down as the season goes on. Finally we have a legit fat boy at NT. Coefield and Knighton seemed DTs playing NT.

Member when we would go 4-0 in preseason then 4-12 in regular season.

I member.

NFLN reporting that Trent Murphy is out for the season with a Torn ACL.

DAMN

[NCSUredskin]

Yep confirmed by Rap Sheet....Murphy done for year, damnit

[Chico23231]

While that unfortunate...I need Sua Cravens to be ok as a starting SS

Overreacting is half the fun!!!! This game was the only "scrimmage" played last night that was a complete dog of a game. Every other game had scoring and was relatively close. Have to have some variety in here to spice things up. It would be a rather boring thread otherwise.
