It's also nice to see Daniel Jones highlights - he is actually attacking down field rather than throwing out to the flats or dumping it over the middle. He had some real nice throws down the field - not just the middle of the field but also a great throw with perfect ball placement down the left sideline.

Walton for Miami isn’t doing himself any favors...
How do you get arrested three times in one year?
How do you get arrested three times in one year and still have a roster spot?
Waiting for Laird....

Jones's completion percentage has been over 80% in the preseason. Great to see, would be even cooler to see him become the top QB from this year's class, which has a very good chance of happening.

Lots of black players injured tonight. Rashan Gary and St. Brown with the Packers. Cam Newton. Jordan Reed. Brandon King.

The King injury is unfortunate, as he seems like very well-mannered black player (with a black wife) who worked his way up from an UDFA. Nevertheless, his injury (which looked very bad) could open up a LB spot for Calvin Munson.

Mike Gesicki with 3 catches for 59 yards. The same media clowns and DWFs proclaiming Daniel Jones a bust before he even played in the NFL have absurdly been calling Gesicki a bust already based on a rookie season in which he wasn't properly used, and despite almost all tight ends struggling as rookies. Gesicki should be a star by next season at the latest.

Walton and Ballage are both trash. Walton getting a 4th chance in a year is #blackprivilege

Laird is the complete Running Back!

Michael Walker returning kicks for Jaguars...this year's version of Alex Erickson who was also undrafted

Safety Andrew Wingard #42 playing for Jags too....Laird #42....What are the chances?? #22 Cody Davis was playing earlier

Nice TD run by Laird....
5 yards

Rhett Lewis, the White moron overseeing the NFL Network's highlights, just now compared Laird to Peyton Hillis after Laird's TD run. Unbelievable, at least he didn't say Bronco Nagurski. . .

Both good....
Way different football players....
How do some people get jobs?
I think Minshew is holding his own.....

Just did a little background on Rhett Lewis and his daddy was a head NFL trainer for 41 years, so that explains it. His father's name was Kleinschmidt, so Rhett must have changed his surname to Lewis out of shame, or perhaps shameless ambition.

Lewis also supposedly played WR for Indiana from '01 to '05, but his profile page on the NFL Network doesn't say how much he played, if at all.

Sickening racism. Laird is lean and muscular. He’s virtually the same height, weight, and build as McCaffrey.

Hillis was thick, stout, muscular, and built like a FB...despite having the speed and agility of a RB.

The first string and second string O line for Miami has been bad.....
Laird just had another good run (12 yards)?
Sandwiches around a couple losses.....
Looks better than the first two runners who were combined 20 carries, 20 yards at one point....

Little bit of white on white crime with Laird trucking Connor Strachan into the endzone.
I’ll be amazed if Laird doesn’t make the team.

The Purdue kid Horvath maybe...????
Let’s see if he gets 150 carries this year.....

Kalen Ballage had a long TD run last year against Minnesota but other than looked pedestrian, much like he usually did in college. He's another one of those upsiders who have excellent size-speed measurables but who lack vision and just aren't very good at running the ball.

The only good thing (bad for me) I’ve seen Ballage do was score 8 TD’s in one game against Texas Tech a few years ago. For that reason I could’ve never like him lol. Laird looks like he deserves to not only make the team but be a regular contributor, I’d like to see him return punts.

Yeah, he's kind of lived off that game ever since. I was surprised when Miami began training camp giving him starter snaps over Drake. But Drake is already fighting the injury bug and Ballage isn't that good, so maybe a miracle will happen and Laird will get to play at least some in the regular season as an undrafted free agent White RB.

That Rhett guy is such a beta. Hyping up Haskins even though he has had a mediocre preseason. Just making excuse after excuse.

Him, Scott Hansen, Andrew Siciliano, beta peas in a pod at the NFL Network. They even look the part, like they're distantly related to Howdy Doody and Alfred E. Neuman.
