We need better CB depth, Danny Johnson is bad. What was wrong with Torry McTyer?

True. There are still some decent unsigned veteran corners available if RR is willing to spend the money on one of them.

Our backup safeties aren't so hot either. Jeremy Reeves might save us at that position. He's had a good preseason. Percy Butler has a lot to learn and Darrick Forrest has been invisible during the preseason.

Just rewatched the game on replay. Thoughts below:

1) Liked what I saw from Howell. He has a strong arm, pretty accurate, and can make plays. Love the running dimension he brings.

2) Brown can get open but his hands are questionable at this point. Needs to be corrected asap if he as future. He had a few balls this week and at KC that could have been catches.

3) Still really like Jarret Patterson. Hope he makes the team. Love how he runs and it is evident he is a natural rb.

4) 2nd string oline terrible in pass protection. This could be a big problem quickly if we have to resort to them. They may want to look at new guys now.

5) 2nd string secondary got torched. Literally abused and embarrassed by Robinson. Think Chiefs will regret not keeping him. They ought to look at upgrading this unit also.

Very ready for regular season football. Jacksonville is a big opener for a lot of reasons. They will be ready.

They were the 3rd /4th string line, none of them are making the team aside from perhaps Chris Paul, but they would have to keep 10 OL even then

Lol awesome. Thanks for reassuring me. Hope Paul can make an impact.

I live in Jacksonville now and I assure you they will come to D.C. ready to battle for a win. Doug Pederson is a favorite of mine as a HC because he is creative and bold as a HC/play-caller. I'd say it's a given that JDR will be out-coached. We have some advantages over the Jags, IMO, but it will still be a dog fight. Enough of that for now. I'm sure we'll have a thread on this topic in the near future.

Totally agree. Still think Lawrence will have a great NFL career. Etienne is healthy now also along with a trove of free agents and draft picks. As good as he was in college, Meyer's tenure was disastrous in Jacksonville last year. This game really may come down to who wants it more imo.

Like as been said, it was our 3rd/4th stringers, but they did indeed look absolutely terrible... except for rookie Chris Paul, I thought in contrast he looked really good. For what it's worth without the All 22, he was the only Oline seemingly playing very well out there.
Our Oline depth is very solid.


Practice squad journey man WR Matt Cole made a couple of really tough catches, may help him find a spot somewhere, don't think there's room for him on this roster, or maybe we keep him on PS.
