Play calling: Monken did a really good job with play calling for all three QB's. The emphasis of a vertical game for the stronger armed Fitz/Winston and then switching to a spread horizontal game for the lesser armed, but accurate Griffen was on point.

Barber is simply too good to not have on the field. He is basically a more talented version of Earnest Graham.

RoJo was disappointing but I think he can shake the jitters because at least he goes north south.

Sims in comparison still does too much dance parellel to the line of the scrimmage and doesn't attempt going north/south which is disappointing.

Watson had a hot/cold game but it is clear this kid has talent as he was playing throughout the game all over the field. His lone fumble came on a throw that was off target and he made the extra effort to catch the ball. But the defender made a good play to strip it before he came down.

Sergio Bailey was making cuts and roue running similar to Godwin out there and that was a pleasant surprise to see. Sure, it was against street scrubs but this guy can run routes and catch the football. So, Sergio Bailey is definitely in the conversation now along with Reedy, Watson, Martino, Phillips and Lapman and Bobo Wilson. Very competitive group and the WR battle is going to be intense.

Ogunbowale is actually intriguing to me because of his size and I am interested in seeing some more of him. But I think Shaun Wilson probably will be the surprise RB when all said and done. But it is good to see another RB in the fold that looks good on paper so far.

Benenoch and Kappa simply didn't show me enough that they should start at RG and I would not be surprised to see Evans win it by default. But that could change as the pre season progressed.

Smith-Marpet-Jensen side of the line is like one giant bulldzozer. That is going to be fun if you throw OJ Howard to the weakside as a run blocker too and Cross as your H-back.

Cichy, Harris and Billough were actually flying around so that last LB spot is going to be very competitive.

Ryan Smith doesn't look comfortable as a boundary CB which is a shame. Stewart and Davis had some mistakes in the game but they also showed they can play off coverage and run with WR's downfield to defend go routes. Very encouraging.

Isaiah Johnson does everything right and I think he is decent but Whitehead is all over the place. Laying wood near goal line situations or even defending with pass break ups. If Whitehead was 20 lbs heavier he should have been drafted a lot higher.

O'Connor keeps making plays. Does he beat out Gholston for a surprise upset for a roster spot? I like O'Connor a lot more than even Will Clarke.

Anger was money as always as a punter.

Cantanzaro seems very green to me for a supposed NFL veteran. Mildly concerned.
