NFL Preseason - Irish Spotting Edition

[PLACforever]

We talked about Floyd's HUGE game the other night over in his thread, but what other Alum are seeing action tonight and this preseason?

Vikes v 49ers tomorrow will have 3/4 of this years draft picks +Rudy, Carlson, John Sullivan and Ian Williams

 

[PLACforever]

Armando Allen went 4 carries for 3 yards... so there's that.

Darrin Walls has a tackle and a pass deflection- yeah!

Derek Landri has two TFL

 

[polishjuice4]

Allen had absolutely no blocking. I know it was just the preseason, and a lot of our players were out. But, damn, the Bears look bad.

 

[AlbuquerqueIrishFan]

David Bruton is on the Broncos for another year at safety. He's not a starter, but he was in for a tackle early on special teams.

And Eric Olsen was starting at center for the Broncos.

Minnesota Fighting Vikings.

Does anyone know if/where the Vikings game is being televised?

Don't forget about Blanton.

Allen had absolutely no blocking. I know it was just the preseason, and a lot of our players were out. But, damn, the Bears look bad.

We played without Cutler, Forte, Urlacher or Peppers. Marshall, Briggs and Peanut didn't play past halfway through the first. By halftime, we were already into 3rd and 4th stringers.

We had a focus to get a lot of work for young draft picks like McClellin and not have any injuries. We accomplished that. I really wouldn't put any stock into this game.

 

[Veer option]

Rudolph looked good in his few plays tonight.

 

[Veer option]

Colin Kaepernicks read option td run was a thing of beauty

 

[Veer option]

Harrison Smith made a couple nice plays. He absolutely destroyed a reverese the niners were trying to run. I guess I took his abilities for granted but he flies around the field.

 

[AvesEvo]

Did Blanton play at all?

Nevermind, I'm watching this game on the internet and it is so blurry that I thought it was over.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

The Bears waived Khalil Bell, creating an opening for Armando to be the 3rd RB. Go get it!

Armando has zero blocking, but it looks like he may make the team.....GET IT MR ALLEN!

Golden Tate had a 92 yard punt return TD tonight.

The announcers had no clue what was going on.

 

[PLACforever]

Tate's return made SC top ten today

Mark it..... BQ will get an opportunity to take the starting gig in KC at some point. Whether it be poor play or injury, that I do not know. What I do know is that the opportunity will present itself.

Now, whether he takes advantage of it is another story...

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Armando released. Beaten out by Booker for the 3rd RB.

 

[PLACforever]

Jeff Faine signed with Cincy.
*this one is kind of a joke because I started this thread to keep track of recent alumni and Faine is in his 10th season.

 

[PLACforever]

Bucs are making final cuts tonight, Hughes is said to be "On the bubble" B. Smith was released a few days back.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Armando was signed to the Bears practice squad. From what I read there was very little separation between Booker and Allen for the last spot. Hopefully Armando gets another chance.

[PLACforever]

Hughes got cut by Tampa but landed on the practice squad for the Redskins.

 

[SoDakDomer]

Sergio Brown got picked up but the colts
Harrison Smith looks to be starting with the Vikings
I believe Robert Blanton also made the roster
Jimmy Clausen is the 3rd QB in Carolina
Ian Williams made the roster in San Fran and looks like he is the 3rd NT.
Zibi is starting for the Colts
Golden Tate is banged up with a knee and may miss the first 2 weeks.
Darrin Walls signed an Injury Settlement with the falcons (not sure what that is)
Sam Young is on the bubble to get cut with the Bills
David Bruton is projected to to be safe on the 53 man roster for the Broncos
Maurice Stovall was cut by the Lions
Jonas Grey is on the reserve/non-football injury list for the dolphins
