So here is my takeaways from the Bronco Vikes game.
Not impressed by the ones on either side. The OL still looks like it will be an issue. Never got to see what Sutton or Hamliton could do, DT looked great on his one catch. VJ should have kept the 1st team O out there one more drive. Nothing gained by giving Buston all those snaps. Von and Davis didn't play, they ran to that side with success with them out.
Still worried about the mental capacity of both VJ and Woods. I wanted VJ gone after last year.
The Buston days better be over, dude should not be kept on the roster over a ST player or other position player. I am hoping they go with 2 QB's at the start of the year like they did last year. Means having to eat almost $6Mill of Buston's money though. Maybe they can stash him on IR or something. Never was a fan of this bum. Didn't like the move up in the draft for a project QB just because he had measurables. I want football players.
Could not evaluate any of the players on the 2nd team O other than the RB's. I love Freeman, he needs to be the #1. They need to cut or trade Booker, maybe package him in with Buston to Cleveland with a Bag of money for swapped 7th round picks? Booker is just a guy. I love all the young RB's. Freeman ran away from guys, something CJ couldn't do and Lindsay was fast to the corner. All the RB's picked up pass blocking well. No fumbles was good too.
Did I mention Lynch needs to be cut? What a waste of time.
KELLY IS THE BOMB! Swag is going to force Keenum to find a new job in a year or 2 when his deal is up. I think Keenums contract is structured so they only have to eat $10 Mill of the deal if they cut him next year, nothing in 2 years. Lots of options if he chokes. Love the way Kelly played with confidence and swagger, he stood in the face of free blitzers and took hits, on one of his TD passes the free blitzer was flagged for roughing. He is young though, after being on IR last year he needs a year of playing before he is truly ready just like your guy.
Kelly made lots of the guys who were flashing in camp look good like Lindsay and Patrick.
We are 5 deep at OLB, Holland looked great on his sack last night. I hope Holland plays well enough that they can trade Ray, I didn't think it was smart to try to do until I saw him play last night.
The next 2 games will tell us a lot more about where both our teams are.
