Overall, that was a pleasant performance. I didn't see anyone get hurt, which is the main thing. Also, for all I've read about how good some of the young players looked in camp, this was my first opportunity to see many of them play. And many were as good as advertised. Mayowa got a lot of pressure on the outside, and Howard provided the same from the interior/other side. Michael's very talented and I can't wait to see how he looks once he gets comfortable with the offense. Same with Ware. I wish I focused more on Alvin Bailey because the praise for him on Twitter is impressive. Lotulelei looked great on defense and special teams.
The first units looked flat--but who cares? It's the first two series of the pre-season. There's some kinks to work out.
T-Jack looked very solid. He looked smooth and under control. His arm strength is legitimate. Mack Strong used the term "poise" in the post-game show, which was apt. Tarvaris isn't a full-time starting QB but as a backup with twice the talent on offense as he had two years ago, I think he looks like a good fit.
