1st team offense with Rivers at QB looked good moving the ball down the field and scored that touchdown . And Travis Benjamin looks back up to full speed and as good as advertised during training camp. When Rivers was in the first team offense of line give them plenty of time to throw the ball.
Before everyone freaks out about the lack of depth, especially at QB. How many snaps did Philip Rivers miss in the last 10 years?
1st team defense didn't look as good as the offense but still not bad for the very first game playing the 4-3. Bosa and Ingram and look like a nice rush end and pair.
When the first team offense and the first team defense were out there the score was 7 to 0.
Desmond King when showed that he is a play maker, The interception and also punch in the ball out for the forced fumble.
Burse looked like good depth at WR.
Meisner at TE was a good, if late signing.
Feeney is is going to play OG not C so don't freak out about all those high snaps in shotgun.
Cardale Jones look like a rookie QB with one week of practice which is exactly what he is, but nice touch on that long ball at the end of the first half and nice footwork on those runs to gain first downs. the added dimension of a running QB doesn't hurt.
Our fourth string quarterback looked better than our second string quarterback and earned himself some additional snaps during the preseason I think / hope.
Although Davis got beat like a drum on those sideline deep balls, he consistently had position and will only get better with practice. Provided he react positively to getting picked on like that .
The second and third stringers on defense were very inconsistent but there were a few good plays mixed in there.
Squire looks much improved over last year .
McCain has some real good speed on the rush and I think he's a keeper.
McCoil had a special teams stop and a goal line stop, well he is still on the bubble he did some things tonight that might make him self valuable on special teams kind a like Stuckey did in previous years.
And there were several other second and third stringers who made a play here and there that stood out as well.
Yes I was watching the same game as you were and yes I saw all those missed tackles, turnovers and poor positioning. And yes this was the most lopsided score in about two years worth of preseason games.
But I think Anthony Lynn is going to kick some ass and I think Gus Bradley is going to have that defense playing a lot better by next week.
There were some good things out there tonight, for starters on both offense and defense looked good, and some of the back up players showed some potential and all of that is encouraging.
OK I'll pass the bong now ....
