    Yep...just like Mason looked like a vet in the preseason. Howard looked like a rookie (or at least a guy with no NFL game experience).

    The pass he completed to Smith was really nice though. That's a good sign

    They were expecting the patented Steelers one yard run on 3rd and long

    I am still completely clueless why Kaleb Johnson is not playing.

    Black isn't getting enough leverage thus far. He needs to get lower.

    You'd like to see a 1st round pick in their 4th year doing well against backups in the preseason.

    Only one drive though.

    People get enamored with running qb’s. However they don’t stay in the pocket to let play develop. They cannot be consistently accurate by running and throwing as the degree of difficulty increases exponentially to be accurate. Very few running qb’s optimize staying in pocket and running at the right time.

    True.


    He still isn't fully 100% but still. Mental errors hurt.

    Hard to make the team when you can't even get on the field with the second teamers. Maybe they have their minds made up from camp.
