I like Clemens as a guy but as a QB he's junk. I feel safer with Chappell or Gutierrez as a 3rd stringer and that's not a good sign

Sorry I missed it. Does Jenkins have a torn ACL? I heard it was just a sprain.

Comcast sports says it was a sprain.....

In all seriousness, my only concern right now is Jenkins. I hope the sprained knee prognosis is correct and its not something more serious.

Same here. I think our starters did very well against the Ravens starters. HTTR!!!

Stallworth hasn't shown much and Locklear is still learning but is probably at risk too.

Stallworth not doing great isn't a prob since that may mean keeping some rookie WRs or Banks...but I don't like backup RT's and backup ILB not doing well.

Overall the team looked solid...particularly in the first half...I am fine with either QB...it probably makes sense to start beck and have a vet backup...I really think Shanny is settled at RB since he didn't give any other RB's a shot tonight other than his projected top 2....Torrain is likely #3

Learning to what? Block? If you haven't learned that after 7 years, it might be time to reconsider your football career.

Scheme, he's only been with the team...what ...2 weeks?

I'm probably wrong because admittedly I dunno a thing about playbooks, but I would think blocking schemes aren't as hard to learn as it is QB reads and hot routes and WR routes and what not. I would think blocking stays pretty consistent from playbook to playbook. Outside of shifts, audibles and what not.

Well, it took our OL a full year to really come together. The zone blocking scheme takes a lot of continuity and timing.

The zone scheme isn't hard to "learn" it is hard to perfect as a unit because it is a moving machine with multiple moving parts that have to synchronize their efforts. You have to have players with the proper skill set and some time together to develop the ubiquitous "chemistry".

Good point. He sucks. Where did you say that dronk thread ids, again? I think I'm about ready to migrate over there now.

Alls I'm going to say is ... it's the preseason. That being said, this had the feel of a real game. WTF is up with the QBs making it so difficult to make a call. Both were pretty good tonight, Hightower was a beast as per usual. Hopefully Jenkins isn't banged up too bad.

SFREDSKIN · 08-25-2011, 11:43 PM

Where are all the Gano haters? The guy has been as solid as a rock and it would have been stupid to cut him. Austin is solid, got keep him, Paul, Hankerson, Banks and go with 2 QB's to keep the extra WR. I would say thank you and goodbye to Stalworth, Sellers and Kelly.

He's definitely made a strength and accuracy improvement since last season. Knowing I probably capped on him last season, I'll eat some crow.
