Trending Down: Meyers - He's had a shocker of a pre-season. Stephens, Hart, Brown - They were getting bullied a lot by some very sub-par KC players. Hicks - Big oof. Seumalo - I love him, i think he'll make the PS, but he's so not ready for the big time. Lampe - Quiet, but showing nothing to say he must be on the 53.

Trending Up: White - Did his best Bobo impression to be reliable when needed. Arroyo, Kallerup, Vannett - Just a good time for the TE's all round, and even Vannett is making a claim to the 53 by just being solid (blocking, ST, FB coverage, Kallerup and Vannett could both get in for real!). Diggs - Showed why he's in the building with those hands, he does have this ball-hawk x-factor none of our other DB's have. Haynes - More through other's being bad but hey, take what you can get. Dickson - Can a punter win MVP?

Neither Up or Down: Milroe - Significantly better composure (not surprising, if you know you have a full game you can relax and play smart, compared to 2 quarters you have to make things happen which leads to mistakes) but nothing exciting. Measured up well compared to Nussmeier (make your own interpretation on what that means comparing Jalen to a 7th Rd rookie, but I rated Nussmeier as a Day 2 pick if not for LSU's botched medical processes). The Offence As a Whole - This is was a game dominated by defences on both sides. Whilst the points and yards didn't come, the calls and design were interesting (few too many screens and quick flats for my liking).

Strap in people. Sunday's gonna be tough and Monday's gonna be wild.

Very surprised at how well Milroe played. I don't know if we need to keep 3 QBs on the 53 or not, how many teams do this? Free up a space for someone who may play more regularly and help us in the playoffs. An extra WR or DB would be fine with me. I would say as well as Milroe played that maybe next year we could cut Drew and find another 3rd QB to stash on the ready squad.

Thought after the game vs. Titans there was some concern for the kicking game. Now I'm thinking there should be a lot of concern. Is it too late to bring in a new kicker to compete for the job?

At worst, 1 of our 12 draft picks next year should be a kicker, right? Great year last year for Myers but that was then, this is now.

I cannot be the only one a little worried about Jason. In the preseason you can explain all bad things by saying " ah its preseason it doesn't count." For me at least missing kicks is harder to do that. The phycology of kickers scares me.
