    Flacco coming out looking a little rusty.

    It’s interesting how different teams are approaching this 3rd preseason game. Many teams are strictly playing 3rd or less stringers, but for us it’s the “dress rehearsal.”

    Depends on schedule, personnel, injuries, etc etc.  Some teams do their dress rehearsal game 2, some game 4.  

    Alex Wright doing work as I type.  He still isn't all that great, but I can see where he has put in a lot of work to improve.  Mostly on working to 

    drop his leverage and bend the corner with good balance.   I'm critical of his game, but I can't be critical of the effort he has put in to improve.

    Pocic is down.  Damn good thing Wypler has been looking solid this camp and pre-season.

    There’s that pretty Flacco laser beam.

    I'm sticking with my season prediction. Fannin Jr is gonna be a stud TE.

    They didn't even block Schwesinger on that blitz lol. 

    Fucking hate injuries in these games. But not as much as I hate the kickoff.

    Nice 2 minute drill for Gabriel

    Gabriel strikes me as a guy with a high speed processor. I can see why they prioritized getting him.

    Glad Sanders got more reps, his pocket awareness kinda reminds me of baker - turning his back to it a lot.

    that and seems like he’s struggling to maintain focus downfield because he’s too obsessed with watching where the pressure is.

    Not to sound snarky or anything... But... I think people now see why Sanders is where he is on the Depth Chart... He needs more work... It was easy for him against 2nd and 3rd stringers.. He just needs to avoid getting down on himself.. I'm sure it's tough.. But its clear.. Gabriel is a cut above with his decision making..

    Hawaii 5'9 seems to be the better Qb.

    Yes.  He solidified himself as 4th on the depth chart.  And I think it was a good thing that they put Huntley in for the last 2 minutes.  Sanders got to watch Huntley move the ball playing with the same guys he did.

    Sanders has not learned how to step up into the pocket.

    They are gonna have to eat Hopkins cap at this point, he turned into too big of a liability.

    Right!  He looks to get outside of the tackles.  Or he spins around in circles while giving ground while holding the ball out there like a pinata.  He hasn't learned how to throw the ball away.  It's too bad because we saw that he CAN be a good passer....but first he's going to have to learn how to be a QB.

    Gabriel reminds me of Colt Mccoy, but in a better offense. Stefanski hasn't asked him to push the ball downfield much, but he hasn't needed to.

    I don't believe it's a matter of "learning"  I believe it's a matter of having it ingrained as a 2nd nature, worrying about the throw first and contact second. 

    In short, Shedeur simply looked like he's just completely unwilling to take contact while within the pocket.  "The training is nothing, the will is everything" 

    He drops his eyes to protect himself and the ball doesn't move.     I get it's pre-season, but it's bitchmade.  If you're upset at your spot on the depth chart, don't take it out like this.   If you had a bad game where nothing seemed to go right, then it's a different story.

    Like Gabriel, Sanders has some feet to extend plays with proper timing.  But neither are athletic enough to consistently break away from edge rushes off script and not pay for it quite a bit.

    Gabriel can probably grow a better mustache'.

    Oh he has, as I detailed in game 2.  He just wasn't very good at it when it wasn't outside the numbers.
