Nice rebound Summers.
Fish bright prospect injured. Ouch!
Not good to hear about him being down, hopefully this is not too serious.
Just another reason many veterans are sitting this out, can’t risk injury in meaningless game.
Belli takes offside AND unnecessary roughness call, costing his team 20 yards.
That's Belli, alright.
typical of belli
Belli = team last.
Porter seems to be ok.
Two incomplete passes (intended for James, then Mann) lead to Sandro kicking FG.
He probably would’ve made that even if it were not for Belli continuing to be the kind of player he is. He seems to be continuing his at-least-one-penalty per game streak.
Sandro to kick off.
From what I’m hearing, he’s relying on his ability to run with it when he can’t find an open receiver. Running with it always seems to be his Plan B.
They gained some yards on that drive, but I hear we're getting some pressure on Lemon...
Punt said to be low wobbler, D McDaniel returned. Hope Fish will be back soon.
Porter completing passes.
We go for it on 3rd and 1, I sure would like to be sure we can have success with that this year.
But Calhoun did not get that yard. Don't know why Tafralis or Boltus did not go in.
The Cats couldn`t convert on the third-down gamble. This is one element of the offense that has to be picked up over last year!
Sack by Long, followed by near-pick. Two and out.
PASSING CP/AT YDS TD INT
C. LEMON 2/8 26 0 0
They can't like that.
Calhoun "sounding" good.
Lemon being squeezed...LMAO
Tafralis now in at QB, will blew team put different QB in now that 1st quarter is over?
PASSING CP/AT YDS TD INT
Q. PORTER 5/7 59 0 0
I was waiting for someone to say that after I mentioned the pressure on Lemon. Always good to see followups on my setups.
Not to worry, Russ.
Inthe regular season, Trafalis will handle that chore.
Tafralis 3/3 after Nicolson made catch, interesting.
D. McDaniel apparently came close to getting TD, Sal blaming that incomplete on both Tafralis and McDaniel.
Drew says: 1:49: Tafralis with a beauty throw to McDaniel for six... but he can't bring it in... You. Have. To. Catch. That.
Nicolson down after coming close to making catch in traffic. Again, hope it's not serious.
First quarter thoughts
Porter looks ok, nothing great but ok.
Mann looks ok.
Calhoun looks real good, may give Cobb challenge for first string?
Sandro - automatic.
Coaching decisions -
Defence - steady
Office - We need to stretch the field more.
Need to be more diciplined. Penalties always kill us and our drives.
Would like to see us more creative running the ball, those draws we have run
for 20 years are getting old.
This is the preseason, this can be corrected. Like that timecount violation by Tafralis for example, that can be corrected with experience I think.
At least we no longer have Belli.
1:53: Palardy just gets his first pro punt away… a 39-yarder that ends up in a great spot - there’s no return. Palardy has been focused on good contact but he’ll have to speed it up.
Lemon still in, throws another near-pick, and his numbers are now even worse. Shaw to punt now for blew team.
Another gamble on 3rd and 1, this time Summers is short of it.
But as Sal says, we'll see different things done on gambles like those in regular season.
Brannagan in for blew team... and throws two incomplete ones to end drive.
