Ok a few more thoughts from my pilgrimage to the Ed tonight. Brian Quick looks like a completely different ball player in year 2 then he did last season. Seems to be reacting more and playing faster as opposed to last year when he would just look lost.
Ray Ray is a Predator plain & simple. The Ed is his Serengeti and he was out stalking prey tonight. When that guy delivers a hit it echoes across the dome. Cannot wait to see his progression this year. I don't think it's football instincts as much as it is just a guy whose brain determines the fastest route to destroying someone and executes that plan.
Bam Bam Cunningham and Zac Stacy have outplayed Isaiah Pead all preseason in my opinion and again tonight. Better ball security and both guys run with authority and don't shy away from contact.
All in all a fun game but damn the penalties and fumbles were not what I wanted to see this close to the regular season.
