Wow, Kafka has a High School arm. Underthrowing badly.
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

I'd really like to see two or three plays in a row in this game where somebody doesn't throw deep.

The man. The myth. The legend.

I think Kafka was choking back on the ball. Not saying he's got an all world arm, but it's his first live action game, and he seemed hesitant.

Do me a favor guys.  Let me know how my boy Te'o Neshim does. 

He did alright, shed some blocks, was in good position to make a play at times, but misses easy tackles. Definitely raw.

Was impressed with the speed of the first team D.

O looked good, O-line did surprisingly well.

Preseason football crowd is equivalent to the crowd at CBP. Annoying teenage types that do stupid shtein like start the wave.

kickoff coverage is baaaaad

Most of those guys on ST tonight won't be on the team much less on kickoff coverage. Not really a major issue until the last couple of PS games and into the regular season.

Ha.  I took my 7 year old and he loved it.

I had a ton of those annoying teenagers in my section tonight.  Half way through the 3rd quarter a dozen or so of their friends occupied some empty seats and they were trying to get the crowd chanting.  In the 3rd quarter of a preseason game.   ::)

There was a late teen/early 20's kid sitting next to me with a black Vick jersey on. He kept asking me questions, I have no idea why. At one point he says "wanna see something cool?", I didn't give him an answer but he lifts the back of his jersey and he has a T-shirt that says McVick with the number 57 on it. Real clever.

I am still watching the game now its almost half time (watching on DVR)...

* Kolb looked good. He had a few forced throws but he was on for most throws. I was pleasantly surprised by his mobility in the pocket.

* I think Jeremy Maclin is going to have a huge season. Coverage is going to roll to Pimp, who will beat whatever and whoever they send his way. Maclin and Celek will feast on the middle of the field.

* Michael Vick...welcome back to the NFL. He looks very good. And he throws a pick as I type this lol

* Mike McGlynn played well at C...perhaps they'll scrap the Nick Cole experiment there.

* Riley Cooper's got game. So does Kelley Washington. Goodbye Hank Baskett.

* Brandon Graham...so far so good.

* Call me nuts, but I am not all the way sold on Shady yet.

Was he Indian by any chance?

My buddy has one of his cousins about that age that lives with him and sometimes when I drop by I talk with him about sports. One time I called Vick McVick and he thought it was so hilarious for some reason and said he was going to call him that from now on.
Calling it right on the $ since day one.
Just pointing laughing, and living it up while watching the Miami Heat stink it up.

Why does the kick coverage continuously suck with this team?

Awful.

How's my boy Te'o Neshim looking phreak?

Haven't really noticed him, Don.

But I am going to re-watch tomorrow so I can watch OL, DL and LB play closer.
