Jennings is okay, just a bit nicked up. Would have played if a regular season game. No need to risk him here, when we wanted more looks at Chastin West, and the other youngsters.
Ryan Grant is fine. That OL was not opening up any holes for him....
Chad Clifton had a night to forget. He made Freeney look like God. Clifton has neutralized guys like Harrison and Allen and Demarcus Ware a lot better than he did vs Freeney last night.
Thank God Rodgers didn't get hurt on any of his sacks.... or any of his scrambles forward! Remember the concussion at Detroit he got? That could have happened again.... he needs to NOT be running in pre-season games.
Morgan Burnett validated all of you who voted for Peprah as who should be the starter. Peprah may not be as fluid or fast straight line as Peprah is, but Charlie doesn't blow coverages totally like Morgan did on the Reggie Wayne wide-open TD. We have enough ball-hawks back there with Collins, Woodson, Traymon, and Shields.
I'd prefer to keep Peprah starting while giving Burnett more time to learn..... that he doesn't have to bite like that last night. Cannot allow easy TDs like that.
Great to see Crosby get an attempt at a game-winner! Would have added more pressure if it came with us down 1 or 2 points instead of tied, but that was perfect to see the win on his foot at the end. He hasn't made one like that since his first game ever in 07 vs the Eagles.
OLB Vic So’oto, bidding to make the team as an undrafted free agent, had a sack that forced a fumble on the opening series of the third quarter, played good against the run and made some plays on special teams. I think this guy is currently our 3rd best OLB (with Zombo out).... Matthews.... Walden.... So' oto. He's better than Brad Jones already. Ricky Elmore is invisible out there. Lattimore has ability too, but he needs to add 15 lbs of muscle.
ILB DJ Smith, rookie, is gonna be a good one. He is #51 and you should have noticed him.
Finally, only Jordy (knee bruise, hopefully that is all it is... I worry it's related to that bursa-sac thing), and Jermichael (ankle) seemed to have gotten any injuries last night. That's the most important thing in these games.... we can't have guys dropping already.
