Skins Front Seven looks like it should be really good, then again the Steelers OL is a disaster. But we looked good rushing the passer last week too against a Titans OL that's supposed to be decent. Secondary worries me though, we really need Merriweather back. I don't want a rookie Safety starting, especially with the type of weapons the Eagles have come Week 1.

Cousins didn't look so good this week. Steelers are still a strong defensive team, but when Rex came in we scored 10 points in 3 possessions. I like our WR depth, no superstars but just solid guys all around.

Had some guys get hurt last night, thankfully none of them are overly serious.

Jon Beason going to get some reps today, really excited about that. Just for once hope we can get through a season without losing key pieces on defense (particularly our lb core).

Also Cam needs to punch it in atleast once tonight, sick of them settling for fg's. Preseason has been an overall disappointment thus far, hopefully we can turn things around.

Panther fans have to be thrilled Lotulelei fell to them in the draft. He looked great against the Ravens last night. The entire Defense looked good. But the Panther offense better get a lot better, and real quick.

Initially thought Flynn had the starting QB position on lock but after last night I'd say it's about 50-50. Pryor might just be their guy come week 1, he seems like a far better fit for that offense.

Browns look atrocious as always.

But really, I think Brock Osweiler could be real good. He'll ride the bench for 2-3 years until Manning becomes a journeyman/retires and then take over the reigns.

This sounds familiar... Aaron Rodgers perhaps?

Now I know Sanchez hasn't always been at his best in NY. But when he was given weapons, he did lead his team to 2 straight NFC title games. But for Coach Rex to place a HIT on his own QB, that just shows what kinda coach this dude is. He has no idea of how offenses are run, and he absolutely sucks in acquiring offensive talent to run something of quality that can score points. I guarantee Sanchez will flourish once outside of the clutches of this terrible coach, who is clueless about offense.

Outside of yesterdays game, Weeden has been superb this preseason. Offense has a nice sense of direction under Norv.

:lol: Probably about as helpful as Rex Grossman is to RG3/Cousins.


David Carr doesn't seem like a stupid guy, just someone who has trouble diagnosing things when pressure comes. I bet his understanding of offenses is probably pretty good in a film room sense.

Only preseason but Skins looked really good against the Bills. It was funny our 2nd/3rd teamers were beating the Bills starters. Then again it's only the Bills...

I am liking our team a lot though. We have some holes, mainly in the secondary, and lost another nice young player for the season in Richard Crawford, but we have more depth and talent then we've had in quite some time.

Can't wait for the season. Two more weeks!

Ryan Mallet's stock is skyrocketing. I want to see the dude starting for some team next season.

Best move he can make is to get paid and ride the pine until Brady retires. Less wear and tear on the body as well. Being a backup to a QB who might never leave a game or get hurt is probably the best job you could ever ask for in the NFL.

I'd never trade for backup QBs from good offensive teams. See: Matt Flynn, Matt Cassel, Kevin Colb, etc...
