Preseason Game 1: Lions @ Raiders Thread

[sggatecl]

Can you do that during the season? My brother in law is dropping his direct TV.

Good for him. I haven't had cable since 2010 and haven't missed a game.

I would be more than happy to share the link(s) I'm using, but it changes week to week. If you send me a PM at or just before game time I'll hook you up. I won't post links outside of PMs for obvious reasons.

Cool thanks. I haven't had cable in over a year. I just watched on the roku with his subscription.

Still early for Kerryon Johnson, but his mixture of skills pops out. Has good balance, vision, power and speed. Well rounded back and at least tonight always made the first guy miss.

I caught most of the game and that's what stuck out for me about Kerryon as well. He never went down after initial contact. I love that. You can see the talent on this kid. I really like Powell's game too. Kid's a baller....

Same here. Powell creates separation....which TJ Jones struggles with.

KJ is good. I love his skill set. He?s not really great at anything....but that guy is good at everything. Once he learns blitz pickup and option routes....he?ll rarely come off the field. Riddick is still our 3rd down back....but barring injury....I bet KJ is our full time back by week 5.

Loved what i saw from kerryon. Hope Abdullah kills its and becomes trade bait this preseason. No reason to have this many rbs on the roster.

Defense is terrible at almost every level.

The front 4 worries me and it has all offseason. I think we will see a lot of bend but dont break defense.

I did like what I saw from the running game though. We just have to pray nothing happens to Stafford because the back ups are serviceable at best.

They were bad last year and they did nothing to fix it not unexpected.

I think our secondary will be ok. Slay is one of the best and our Safeties should be fine. Walker and Diggs should make plays.
DLine scares me though if Ansah falls off again...

Totally agree. I see KJ running away with the job even earlier IMO. Blount is going to be a nice addition spelling KJ and I hope they keep Powell over TJ. He just looks the part of a 4th or 5th WR.

Powell has great hands. Wish he was just a tad quicker with how small he is. I can definitely see him kept as a poor man's edelman over a guy like tj Jones.

Edelman is quick.....but I bet the same was said about him more than once. Not at all saying they are on the same level.....but some guys just know how to get open. Powell SEEMS to. Let?s see him agains some 1?s first (or at least some starting quality nickel corners).
