Well, worst case scenario for him, he has made the practice squad.

I hope he makes the team outright if he looks this promising the rest of preseason.

I just hope Brennan still makes the team, even after Daniels did good tonight. I wish that we would just cut Collins, and Keep Brennan and Daniels, but you know thats not the case. I also think Dorsey is just better than rock cartwright.

Unfortunately, I have heard him do the pre-game and first half of both games this year. For a few years it was kind of funny. Now I literally want to change the channel. He said Orakpo was from Oklahoma but the lowlight had to be when Sonny and Larry Michael needed a couple of minutes to explain that it isn't grounding outside of the tackle box (which has been in place for how many years now??)

I am not surprised. The guy was a stud at probably the best program in the nation. I don't his performance last night was an accident. He has received praise for his approach this year and it is paying off.

I love seeing him deliver crushing blocks more than anything and to see him make a play on teams? Gravy...

It seems like Thomas is the only potential bust left from the 2008 second round...

Wonder if 70Chip will have anything to say about Fred Davis this week?

I've always thought Kelly was the best receiver we got out of that draft and with Mitchell also coming on, DT needs to start showing something.

I was hoping to see more downfield stuff instead of the screens and runs to Mason. But it looks like Vinny and the FO did a nice job in finding a potential player in Mitchell. Could he be our Marcus Colston? He's played his way on the team. Now the question is can he start taking away reps from Thomas and ARE?

I also thought the defense was kind of average. TERRIBLE call on Hall. How the hell can an NFL ref make that call and look himself in the mirror?? Mr. Haynesworth didn't really provide any up the middle push. Orakpo played well again. I love his motor. Safety play by the first team seemed kind of weak. But overall Pittsburgh looked like the better team when the starters were in there.

Yeah that call on Hall was brutal. Disagree about Haynesworth, mentioned it another thread (or maybe this one) but when Carter tipped that pass early I think that was all about Haynesworth getting some push and more importantly drawing a double team. Orakpo is fierce! I thought Doughty was actually the best of the safeties last night.

DT just keeps doing foolish things. I don't know why he has such a hard time getting his head into the game. His miscues always seem to be mental rather than physical.

Don't know, but MSU players have bad luck making it in the NFL. Drew Stanton might end up being #3 QB for the Lions again, although Stafford's performance last night wasn't very impressive. We are more solid at QB than a lot of teams.

Zorn needs to stop taking portis out of the game in goal line situations. Betts is good 4 getting portis a spell but he is not a power or feature, TD scoring RB. Portis needs 2 be in on every redzone and goalline play.
