Usually I ignore preseason but a few things kept me attuned last night.
First off Mayfield, who was terrific, displayed his nifty feet by picking up two crucial first downs, an underrated part of his arsenal.
Two things about the Bills game. Brandon Reilly caught a 59 yard pass. Hope he sticks. Looks like a Kevin Hogan clone out there.
And Josh Allen who I predict will own the city of Buffalo, threw one laser beam pass off balance backing up. And for good measure his TD pass zipped past two defenders who were right there. It is called talent and this guy has it in spades. He ran the ball 3 times for 29 yards. I keep saying it he reminds me of John Elway.
The there was the Pats- Redskins game which I picked up on a local feed. Not a big fan of white on white crime especially when they are young players fighting for roles so to see Troy Apke #30 on D against the likes of WRs Riley McCarron and Braxton Berrios I hope for the best in a sticky situation.
The early word is McCarron and Berrios are fighting for the same roster spot as return men until Edelman gets back at the very least. Neither one stood out last night.
I missed it but Apke deflected a third down pass and was noted in the press for being very disciplined on the play something the so called draft gurus thought he was lacking. Man does he look the part ( of a cornerback).
