1. The first team was in for the first series which ended up with a Nugent missed FG and a 3 and out for the defense with an almost sack by Atkins, a sack by Atkins, and an almost sack by Dunlap, forcing an incomplete third down pass.
2. McCarron picked up from where he left off last year. Bengals should get a good deal for him after the season.
3. Vigil looked as advertised. I was more impressed with him than Dawson. Vigil should see a lot of snaps, especially the first 3 games.
4. Cody Core looked good.
5. Hunt looked no better than last year.
6. Again, Dawson looked average at best.
7. Licata looked better than Wenning, who looked weak.
I didn't notice any injuries with the exception of Hill with a possible hand injury.
I will add that Alex Erickson could of got the game ball, dude has great hands and that return was bat shit crazy.
Not a Tater Hater here but with this guys hands, quickness and decision making he is very expendable and Alford
also shown promise in this aspect. Erickson made big strides tonight.
Simonise made one hell of a catch and run. With his size, speed and ability to go up for the ball, great pick.
Ryan Brown DE Mississippit State 6'6" 275 lbs made a great late game stop and showed try, unlike Hunt.
Hardison looked very good, didn't see anything from Clarke but others did cause i missed the entire 1st quarter.
More good news here as i have been speaking my mind about the lack of DE depth.
Dawson and #45 looked bad out there. Flowers was a rollercoaster, good player though.
Darius Hillary looked alright and #38. Need to put Shaw back at corner i fear cause Chykie be bad.
