Officall Overall Game thoughts

[SkinsRock]

My thoughts (I have not read through the game thread, so I apologize if I repeat anything)...
- Jansen's injury absolutely sucks! But consider the fact that the original "Hogs" were mostly late round or undrafted no-names until Bugel got a hold of them. I am hoping that Buges can work his magic with someone, at least for this year....no, not hoping....I am counting on it!!!
- Hasselbeck played well. He played like a guy with nothing to lose, which he pretty much is. The two "starters" could learn something from him! There's a reason Gibbs has praised him a lot recently. I think it is a) because he IS playing well, and b) to push Ramsey and Brunell.
- Taylor is a gamer. He also had a pick on Sat. during the scrimmage. Seems that he is adjusting to the NFL. Did anyone notice that his INT for the TD was on a boot-leg play....just like the ones that burned our D numerous times last year!!!
- Both offenses looked sloppy as hell. It was the first pre-season game. Clinton seemed to look like he was just starting to get comfortable when he was done for the game.
- Brunell and Ramsey looked about even....as Gibbs would say, "very rough." Yeah Ramsey got hit more, but consider the fact that the O-line was not the starters for him, except maybe his first couple plays.
- Did anybody notice that until later in the game, about 3/4 of the penalties were against Denver? I was very happy about that.

All in all, being an extra 5th pre-season game, away for both teams, it was really not much more than a glorified scrimmage. Gibbs got to see what mistakes need to be fixed. Should be very interesting to see how they progress throughout the pre-season.
