I'm no good at picking out how players did position by position unless its QB/WR or something a little more obvious, its especially hard when its a blurry stream. Anyway Im curious about how you thought Burnett did playing safety and bulaga on the Oline, Also Sam Shields?

What I saw from Bulaga was great, Sam Shields made a lot of mistakes. Burnett was good too, he had that one great play in run support at least.

Shields hands did not look good. But really, you could've expected as much, as he was dropping balls from the juggs machine in practice.

From what I saw, before I went to bed, Quinn Porter and Kregg Lumpkin both looked pretty good. Still hoping that Porter eventually beats out Lumpkin or that we'll keep 4 RBs, with Starks on the PUP list.

I didn't see much of Burnett which can be both good and bad. Although I did witness him whiff a tackle pretty bad on a screen.

Bulaga did a good job playing both LG and LT as far as I saw.

Mike Neal was an absolute beast from what I noticed. On top of his strength up front he also sniffed out a screen in the second half--a play that had been beating up the Packers the whole night.

CJ Wilson didn't get much action until the end.

Sam Shields flashed some big play potential at CB jumping on a few routes but never grabbing an INT. He had a couple plays at CB where he let the WR get far behind him but I feel that has more to do with zone coverage and the safety getting over than Shields himself. What Sam failed to do was field a punt or kick cleanly. He muffed a punt giving up a turnover and dropped a kickoff in the end zone leading to a touchback. He showcased his obvious speed but he needs to get a grip mentally, and quickly, if he's still thinking about making this team.

Quarless had a few catches but nothing spectacular. He looked solid as a receiver but I didn't see him block much.

Starks is still hurt.

Zombo had a play late in the second half where he drove his blocker all the way into Colt McCoy causing both an interception and an injury to McCoy who left the game.

Neal was the most impressive rookie last night, imo.

We probably won't keep 3 FBs but I liked how Quinn Johnson looked. Had some very good blocks out there and is good competition for both Kuhn and Hall. Porter also looked very good and is excellent competition for Lumpkin.

Edit: I know Johnson isn't a rookie but he's young and looked good.

buluga is the most important rookie and he held his own !!

Well we got one definite starter with Burnett, of course Bigby might take his job back but I doubt it. Baluga will probably beat out Colledge, and Neal should be a solid contributor. Sheilds looks like an intriguing prospect, but probably wont be of much help this year.

I think Teddy did pretty well from what I can tell so far.

Mike Neal looks studly. Looking at him, you basically forget all about Johnny Jolly. At least, for a little while.

Good, solid pick.

---

The top three rookies--Bulaga, Neal, and Burnett--all looked pretty good. I'm going to put in a good word for Andrew Quarless as well. He caught a couple of passes and looked like he belonged out there. I didn't notice Marshall Newhouse or C.J. Wilson.
