Re: GAME THREAD - Preseason Opener - Skins
My impressions:
Beck> Troy Smith(In this game)... I've always been one to like the accurate passer. Smith was wild or high on alot of throws...
Jayson Foster needs to be looked at hard.. He show explosion and a lil play making ability.. He even showed some ups... Jermaine Lewis anyone?
Cousins.. Needs to tape his fingers together.. No more holding, Like someone posted early.. a back-up OT should be signed.
Harper impressed.. But he needs to be consistent. I wanna see him with Flacco.
Biggest Disappointment?? K.J Garrad. Wasn't he supposed to be a guy always around the ball? I saw him once or twice..
Biggest Surpise?? Antwan Barnes.. Oh yes.. I think he had a man-crush on Colt Brennen.. Cause he was all over him.. Like white girls on NBA Players..
Overall a great game for tonight.. Can't wait to see us agains the Ravens- New York Ravens

Troy actually was VERY gracious in his post-game interview.
He said EXACTLY the right things. Methinks he may have had a conversation with his agent IMMEDIATELY before that interview. I hope I am wrong, but those words didn't sound like Troy Smith's thoughts.

That definately could be. The interviewer kept goading him with self-serving questions and Smith didn't take the bait. The first words out of his mouth were "Today's not about Troy Smith, its about the team". And "Joe Flacco is the starter, without question."
Someone must have said something to him. :)

I'm not ready to go that far. Smith looked much more comfortable in the huddle and runnign the offense. I agree, int he pocket Beck is superior, and by midseason or before, In my estimation, he would be a better option with the first unit offensive line.;

While I think Troy should be the number 2. I think Beck had a much better game. Beck looks like he could be a starter some where. His pass to Harper (that was called back on a penalty) was perfectly placed. He is very accurate
but doesn't have great arm strength

I hope he didn't jsut trash his shoulder, My ideal situation would include him stepping in as backup week 6 after we Trade Troy Smith at the deadline...

LOL.. someone would have to be very desperate to trade for Troy. Then again, the Cleveland Browns are still an NFL team right?

I did say Ideal...
Re: GAME THREAD - Preseason Opener - Skins
I just realized that one player was not mentioned in this entire thread. Sam Koch picked up right where he left off last season with beautiful punts.
