We will be back with Coverage of the 1st preseason game against Coach HB and the Dallas Cowboys.

Coach Bo: The 1st half we saw Mcfadden at RB with Jason Campbell at the QB position. Campbell didnt hold on to the ball when he was getting sacked. He made some nice reads but he turned the ball over a bit too much. We dont mind the picks on the deep ball but him fumbling when he is hit can not be tolerated. He made some nice reads and delivered the ball nicely when he was protected. All in all I give Campbell a grade D for this game




Coach Bo: I was impressed with what Terrelle Pryor and Taiwon Jones did in this 2nd half. Pryor showed his scrambling ability on the 3rd and long play. He made some nice reads. You can also see the chemistry between him and Kevin Boss already. Overall I give him a B for this game.

The thing about the deep ball INTS is we was challenging our WRs. We were seeing iof any could make a play on the ball while coverage was great. Our 2nd game we will start HB Michael Bush and let Taiwon Jones run the ball in the 2nd half. We will see what Pryor can do against the starters also and we will have QB Kyle Boller and QB Trent Edwards play. You can look forward to more deep ball thrown to Chaz Schillens. We want to see if he can use his size and jumping ability to make some plays.

Preseason Game 2 vs DD Prime T1me's Houston Texans




Coach Bo: We may in the hunt for a QB after this game. We couldnt do nothing right. Pryor proved he is not ready to play QB in the NFL right now. I just dont have much to say after this dismal performance by my team

3rd Preseason against Sincer's Detroit Lions




Coach Bo: We looked alot better this week. I was very proud of the D and special teams but we can still get alot better. The O is a work in progress. Campbell is definately goin to start the season at at QB if we cant get someone else in here via trade. I was ver impressed with Stanford Routt play at the CB position. Chaz Schillens is coming along as a nice WR for us. As of right now him and Murphy are our starters with Jacoby Ford playing in the slot.
