I thought Harrell stunk right up until the last few plays of that TD drive. Nice to see him show some moxie and pull out the win, although he did not look like an NFL-ready backup.

Good to see the new tight ends, Williams, and Taylor, getting involved in the offense.

Clifton got destroyed three times (two sacks and one holding penalty) and Sitton got toasted for a sack as well--the second week in a row he's allowed that to happen. Not a good outing for the starting O-line. I hope they don't take half the season (or longer) to get going again.

I wonder what happened to James Jones? They listed him as a starter, but I never saw him. I hope he didn't get hurt.

IMO, the most important thing Harrell did tonight was show arm strength. On that INT, he definitely looked like he had adequate arm to play in the NFL. That's a big thing right there.
Subsequently, he showed moxie and poise. Dude was clutch with the game (and more importantly, his NFL audition) on the line.

From what someone mentioned in the chat, he's a big plus on special teams but I don't recall seeing anything from him in the preseason... Then again, usually when I notice someone on punt coverage it's when they blow a tackle.

Sad part of this is that I'm not sure there's roster space for him... I could have sworn we were playing him as a cornerback based on his size and speed, but he's listed as a LB on the depth chart. He's got Bishop, Francois, Hawk, Jones, Matthews, Smith, Waldin, and Zombo ahead of him... Are we really going to keep 8 LBs and Zombo on IR or PUP if possible? From what I saw from this kid today I definitely want to see more, but one game doesn't make a roster spot with so much competition and talent to go up against.

I think MM's seriously improved as a coach, you'd never hear this from him 2 years ago:

"I understand the mindset of kicking the extra point and going home a little healthier, but that's a terrible message to send to your team," coach Mike McCarthy said. "I think just the way our team reacted on the sideline tells you about what we came here to do - we came here to win games."

He's got the killer instinct. I went from losing interest in the game and just having fun in the chat to full-on regular season excitement and focus in a matter of minutes... Doesn't matter if it's the preseason, play to win. Important high-pressure situation to put those on the bubble through, as well.

Guess everyone else is asleep by now but I was watching some highlights and noticed that we caught a HUGE break on the 2 point conversion... Ref ran right into a defender that was reading Harrell all the way and blocked him, not sure if he would have knocked the ball down for sure but it would have been really close.

Another O-lineman who looked bad, at least on one play, was Marshall Newhouse. He got beaten badly around the corner when he was at right tackle, resulting in a sack. For all the talk about him in practice during the first couple weeks of training camp, he sure hasn't looked like much during the preseason games.
