gftChris Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Kess definitely looked like a nervous dude but I would expect some nerves out of a guy about to get thrown into his first game and it is tight with a division rival. We shall see. Whichever rookie goes in, I fully expect them to make some dumb mistakes. The upside is that it looks like we might have some receiving talent. The downside is that the rookie will be running for their life. This is definitely going to help. Seeing Pryor and Coleman coming down with 50/50 balls is very encouraging and will go a long way to helping out the Kessmeister. Just need to get the run game going - taking away crowell's 85 yard TD run he had something like 48 yards on 17 carries, less than 3ypc. Fortunately, that ravens front seems to be one of the better run stopping Ds around. Unfortunately, we're up against some dude name Ndamukong Suh in Miami and our interior OL is set for a shake up.

hoorta Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Gotta say...Kessler was very close to coming in several times today.....and, it might just be me, but he looked big eyed horrified..... Who knows if McCown will even be able to play next week?.....smooshed in the first quarter, then continuously throughout the game.....its gonna end bad....very very bad....and Kessler does NOT look like he is geared up and chomping at the bit to take over.... Yo Mud- the lousy officiating gripes seems to center on Pryor, but regarding McCown, MHO is the Ravens got away with one. He was on the ground- and instead of just touching him, a Ravens player decided to go full WWF body slam on him. Unnecessary roughness? Nah.

gftChris Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 You say that like it's a bad thing... Long run maybe not but short term - we might have another McQuiston scenario on our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Long run maybe not but short term - we might have another McQuiston scenario on our hands. Not seeing that, Chris. McQ was a rare talent. Other than a wider experience imbalance between the two sides I'm not seeing the downside of a JT-JB-JG-SD-AP line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 You thinking Drango comes in at guard? Prior to Sunday that's what I would have expected as well, but Bailey was the guy that came in. And maybe it's my untrained eye, but I didn't really notice a drop off on the (admittedly low) performance level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Was my bias, but forgot that France's move to PS left Drango as the slotted backup to Joe at LT. LT to RG is not an easy move and Bailey was decent in preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 At 6'3 320 Bailey is more an interior build kinda guy. I only remember seeing him work inside this preseason... mostly at LG IIRC. Drango and S.Coleman both relieved Paz at RT in preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
