Beside Vick, Daz and Hammonds what other newcomers played for the first time yesterday...and how much each? I know Branz had a sack.
For the newcomers, the initial experience is so important. Game speed, game action--stuff gets picked up and becomes 'used to' for further play. No substitute for game action experience. It pays off in the future.
- McQueen already looks very good at left tackle. Dude is simply gigantic.
- Dayne Hammond played a little in the 4'th, dropped a pass.
- We got a lot of AJ Grady on 3'rd and longs, trying to get to the QB. I think he'll be a great OLB for us the next two seasons.
- Jovon Johnson made a nice play to break up a pass on 3'rd down.
- Lucas Powell is someone everyone is high on, played well at center in the 4'th quarter.
- Tim Edmond plays a lot of special teams. He's short but built like a truck. He also had big grin on his face every time he came off the field.
- Kendric Smith played a little at the end. He's pretty quick off the edge and could be a decent rush end like Nic Barber.
- Blake Jones got a nice sack at the end of the game.
- Palermo had a nice run or two at the very end of the game.
