Game Tonight!

[hermes]

nice drive to start, cassel looked sharp, the wrs were on point too

[hermes]

mckinnon is having a pretty good game

[Jukeness]

Was hoping to see more from Bridgewater, but I think the coaches tried to limit him somewhat. Least impressed with Locke, still had no power on his punts.

[Devilzsidewalk]

did Floyd play? he's not in the box score

[The J Rocka]

Had to miss most of the game. Was fortunate enough to watch Ponder in action. Almost threw a pick 6 on a throw under 10 yds. I don't even want him as a 3rd stringer he's that bad.

[hermes]

yeah i'd say ponder pretty firmly set himself as 3rd string, if he keeps this up (and if teddy continues to improve) they might not even keep him at all

don't remember seeing floyd, he's not hurt or anything is he? i don't know why they wouldn't play him

[Twolf16]

McKinnon impressed, still has a lot of work to do though. He should of had more yards. Teddy looks like a rookie, showed pretty good pocket awareness though so that's something nice to see. Hope to see Barr more and Defense looks greatly improved.

Teddy leading the comeback

And again

[hermes]

things are looking good

wonder how they play everyone in the next game? starters usually go about 3 quarters right? wonder if they give each qb a half again - but this time teddy will have a quarter with the first team against a first team defense

[hermes]

do i need to be concerned about blair at all? he's been off on 50+ going back to the end of last year. leg strength doesn't seem to be an issue since i guess he got one there from 70 before the game

[Twolf16]

Ya seems like Blair and the field goal unit haven't been up to par. Cassel probably gets starting job but Teddy played good. Also, it was great to see our offense throw the ball and catch it. Rudolph and Patterson should be good fantasy players. Defense wasn't as good.

the defense seems like it will take more time to get on track, especially with all the new faces having to work together - while the offense will have all 11 starters back (if cassel starts)

[Worm Guts]

Asiata and McKinnon didn't look great, Banyard looked pretty good though. The secondary has to make plays when they're in position to, but I'd feel worse if they weren't in position.

Mainly I'm excited about Teddy, his last second heroics made the game fun.

[hermes]

so cassel is getting the start against the chiefs, but i guess teddy will get some time with the first team
