Preseason Highs and Lows

[Roy P]

Connor Barwin has made me satisfied with the choice to not draft Everette Brown. I must say that I'll be following them closely and comparing their production.

Unfortunately, Brian Cushing has not been on the field in game situations to get a good look at what he brings to the LB corps. Adibi should be looked at as a SS, because he is not a real LB in that he can't provide much against the run.

Frank Okam and Shaun Cody give me something to look forward to this season. I'm hopeful that they will continue to improve and play more consistently.

Chris Brown has the talent we need in a big back. The question has always been if we can depend upon him to show up every week.

Similarly, Matt Schaub has to prove that he doesn't live under some kind of injury curse or we will be getting a better look at Rex and 'Dan-O' under real game situations.

Antonio Smith doesn't have to Mike Rucker in order to be effective. There were plays where he chased the QB to Mario and vice-versa and I'm ok with that.

The HIGHS - DeMeco, Mario, Andre, and Steve Slaton all stayed healthy in the PreSeason.
