Any word on Shummate? No injuries. Huge.

I agree with you on the quarterbacks. Golson went from heisman hype to "he looks spacey" in one day. However, Greg Bryant is the real deal. He passes the eye test for sure. I didnt understand the whole "explosive through the hole" statement until I saw it happen today.

I've NEVER been high on Golson. His "legend" grew in people's eyes because they attributed all of last year's problems to Tommy.

Good spring practice.

Best surprise: WRs are even better than I expected

Biggest disappointment: Pass protection

koonja · Apr 12, 2014

Based on that interview, Malik is the spacey one, definitely not Golson.

koonja · Apr 12, 2014

LOL at the drop off from our 2nd string QB to 3rd. Let's pray to God it never matters.

Really? He struck me as the one with the swagger.

I'm fairly confident in saying Fissinger will not be the 3rd string QB once Kizer arrives.

That play where Jaylon beat Folston to the edge was fucking awesome.

Well, he must obviously be Winston then because he interviews so well

It was 50% Tommy, 50% Longo IMO.

I loved the way he literally engulfed Folston with both arms and drove him into the ground. No one is escaping that tackle.

Huh? I just saw the interview (had it on delay) and I don't agree with that assessment at all. Malik seemed a lot more sincere and confident.

Golson actually addressed the questions and gave examples (dropped balls, low passes from him), Malik just gave the response anyone could 'it was a lot of fun to come out here'.

I was being facetious, but if you want to get technical, lol.

He rambled on with player speak for about 40 seconds. Wow, the pro-Zaire people are REALLY pro-Zaire.

Thats cause Malik had no bad balls or dropped passes

Riddickulous · Apr 12, 2014

The defense on Prosise's touchdown was cringeworthy.

IrishBlood81 · Apr 12, 2014

So its over? Rats... I was watching it buffered and it ended before I saw the whole thing.

To be completely honest I've always been pro Golson and never understood the people talking about Zaire. I am still that way but I feel very good about Zaire. He impressed me more than anyone else today. Him and Corey Robinson.

koonja · Apr 12, 2014

Thoughts:

- Mailk was money. Golson was rusty but still showed why we're excited about him. Cannon arm and can move.

- Bryant, Folston, Cam, all as good as advertised.

- Robinson, Fuller, Koyac, all had good games. Proise too, but never saw him in 2nd half.

- 2ndary looked great, minus Farley. Honestly, very impressed with how close they were on routes and aggressive.

- Won't comment on OL/front 7, because I'd have to re watch to tell who was good/bad. I was impressed with Rochell and Romeo.

Fuck Michigan.

Fair point. I was impressed all of the wide receivers, most importantly Prosise. It would be so nice to have consistent production from the slot.

Speed kills, touchdown!

NDFan4Life · Apr 12, 2014

Having never seen Malik play, I'm extremely confident in both him and Everett.

Either one can and will win games.

Mailk is checking down as if he graduated with dshans. Very impressed.

This sure as hell better be a good thing. Tongue-in-cheek cheekiness ain't no fun!

Lol, he looked like a veteran, that's all I'm saying.

From series 1, he had no trouble checking down, and did so much more than Golson.

Henges24 · Apr 12, 2014

Enjoying this beautiful day, so I missed the game.
Basing off of the two performances today, who looked better Golson or Zaire?

Zaire. It was a rough-ish day for Golson.

And almost ate shit at the end when he tried to make one last move

Man we are taking the "jump to conclusions" spring tradition really seriously this year.

A tradition unlike any other. Oops that's on CBS

That's what I figured but I wasn't sure of it was that his performance was below people's expectations.
