I was flipping between the Jets-Lions and Packers-Patriots game last night. Here are some of my observations:

Petty didn't look that bad. He has two or three drops that killed drives. I think it was good for him to get the extended playing time under center.

Zenner's first touch was around the 2 minute warning in the first half - a 1 yard reception. They kept him in the game as a pass blocker - perhaps grooming him as a third down back. He got more carrIes in the second half and was productive. He looks to be battling Winn for a roster spot.

Jimmy Garrapolo played ok - he under threw a couple deep balls. He kept forcing the ball to a black Wr - Boyce who was terrible. He dropped
two or three balls. The pats black o linemen were equally bad - they have done a bad job replenishing their o line depth so hopefully
the Groy trade works out. James Morris played most of the game and was always around the ball - not a bad showing for him.

For the packers - Tolzien looked good. Janis beat logAn Ryan for a long td pass. Davante Adams looked pretty mediocre and Myles white sucks - he better not make the team. Jake Ryan made some nice plays and Sebetic got quite a bit of an playing time.

I watched a little of the Chargers/cowboys game. Kyle Emmanuel had a sack - the announcers were saying how much the coaches like him and impressed they are with him. The third string qb for the Cowboys Dustin Vaughan was really impressive - he looks the part and has a real strong arm and great mechanics. The Cowboys seem to be high on him as well - he could end up as Romos replacement down the road.

Other notes of interest:

Manziel played well, outplayed media hype machine gremlin, as did Kirk Cousins - perhaps they are showcasing cousins as trade bait? Connor Shaw should also make the Browns - not sure why he wasn't drafted in 2014.

Robert Gremlin the Turd reported that Jordan Tripp went down with an apparent leg injury - hopefully just a minor setback. Both Hull and Vigil had 5 tackles, vigil also had a sack. Nice start for both of those guys.

Campanaro had a 45 yard td catch. Both Schaub and Renner put up pretty solid numbers. Griffin for the saints continues to be an underrated player - with Grayson on the roster the Saints would be wise to trade Griffin for compensation. He's another one of those developmental guys that is coming along nicely.

The patriots 4/5ths sumo 2nd team offensive line is terrible.

Great to see their 4/5 black OL give up 7 sacks against a generic pre-season defense missing many starters. Hopefully the Pats' sumos continue their woeful performances and white OL reserves like Groy, Kline, and Devey can make the squad.

All 4 white starters on the OL (Vollmer, Stork, Wendell, Solder) were held out, as was Edelman and Gronk.

The pats sumos are pathetic. Of course Garrapolo gets the blame by the media. The very same media who last year were saying that Tom Brady is done and Jimmy should start the rest of the season. The pats better cut all those backup sumos.

It is said that Jordan Tripp was seen walking around in an ankle boot and crutches. I know nothing about these types of injuries but let's hope it isn't anything major. I like what I saw out of Mike Hull and Zach Vigil. Here's to hoping they continue to shine and make the squad.

On another note, Josh Freeman looked downright horrible. He is one step closer to being out of the NFL altogether.

Of course the Washington Post says that Gremlin had a pretty good outing. They are so invested in having a black QB succeed that they break down almost every movement of his outing and paint it all in the best possible light. It is an amazing display of delusion. But this is how media, DWFs, coaches and scouts evaluate the play of many black players. A white player would NEVER have this level of "benefit of the doubt". Read it if you can stomach it, it is a light into the dark (pun intended) mind of a jock-sniffer.

I heard the same delusional DWF BS on Buffalo sports radio this morning.The hosts were discussing the possibilities of the Bills looking outside the organization for a QB.When one of the studio guests mentioned how good Cousins looked AGAIN last night,the hosts derisively dismissed the idea and said that they didn't care how Cousins looked in a preseason game as he's already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he can't win in the NFL.UNBELIEVEABLE !!! These same hosts fret every single day over the amount of reps Ebony Jenkum Manuel and Idler Arm Taylor(sorry,I have an automotive background) are getting in practice !!!!

I watched part of the Bears - Dolphins game.

Jimmy Clausen looked decent. Clausen is one of those guys who, if given playing time, might do well. He was highly thought of coming out in the 2010 draft but has been stuck behind Cam Newton and Jay Cutler.

The Bears have two good white guards in Slauson and Long. Long is a pro bowler. The Bears drafted Grasu this year to play center.

The Bears are moving McClellan to inside linebacker. Hopefully he does well there.

The bias against white quarterbacks is blatant. Any fan who can think for himself can see it but most fans just think what they're told to.

The mainstream media has declared that white quarterbacks Cousins and Glennon aren't good enough to start because they don't want them to start. They want to make it a reality.

In this case reality is the opposite of what the liberal media says it is, as is often the case. Both Cousins and Glennon have what it takes to be starters in the NFL.

A smart GM for a QB needy team would try to trade for either one of these guys. Of course, most GMs aren't smart, they just do what the media tells them. And the media nowadays is telling them that white quarterbacks can't play.

Understood, it's preseason.. but the point is sports media is partisan and fawning (to a point of dishonesty). In this case, their tireless advocacy for Griffin's still unfulfilled potential.

Last night Griffin was 4 of 8, for 36 yards. Cousins was 12 of 14, 154 yards with a TD.

If there is any story, it would be Cousins. But Washington has to get Alfred Morris going. This offense, and Washington's historical success, was built on running & a dominant O-Line. I really liked their O-Line first round pick (Scherff). We'll see.

I wonder if Gruden is trying to undermine the overbearing ultimate drunk white fan caste queer turned owner Dan Snyder by making him look stupid regarding his blind support for Griffin.

I think Gruden wants either McCoy or Cousins starting for the Redskins. The delusional pathetic collection of Redskins fans, the quoataback hyping media and Snyder are all doing their best to protect their beloved black quarterback and hugely hyped up bum Griffin.

Its amazing how performance on the field is no longer an indicator of being qualified to play the position.

Athletic freak Cooper Taylor continues to get screwed over by Tom Coughlin:

Giants S Jeromy Miles will start opposite Landon Collins in the preseason opener. With Nat Berhe sidelined, Miles has been working with the first team. He's the Giants most experienced safety, playing a career-high 335 snaps for the Ravens last year. Fifth-round pick Mykkele Thompson is also in the mix to start.

Jeromy,Nat, and Mykkele... Stupid ass names. Sadly I've heard worse. Coughlin is a age hardened caste whore. Used to be a hardass now he just kisses black players asses. This might be rare case where a white player should be cut, he has a better chance catching on somewhere else. Obviously Giants have zero Interest in letting Taylor develop or ever see the field.

Yep this is why I have no issue cheering when black players get injured. Coughlin is a stooge.

Mariota has thrown an INT and fumbled which led to a scoop and score by Worrilow. I have been on the record here stating that I don't really hate Mariota - seems to be a decent guy but the media will treat him with kid gloves.

Awesome! I tweeted support of Worrilow and actually one of his brothers favorited it. Pretty cool stuff!

Mettenberger has looked good for Titans as has Worrilow,Starr, and WR Nick Williams for the Falcons.

Mettenberger looks sharp tonight - another young promising white qb being brushed aside. He just let a scoring drive. His arm strength is pretty astounding - I would say it is top 5 in the league. Their really isn't a lack of QBs coming into the league, its the wrong ones who are getting handed starting jobs.

Top Under 30 QBs deserving of starting consideration:
1. Mike Glennon
2. Kirk Cousins
3. Zach Mettenberger
4. Ryan Nassib
5. Colt McCoy

Over 30 QBs
1. Derek Anderson
2. Bruce Gradkowski
3. Matt Moore
4. Drew Stanton

Good list.

I would add Jimmy Clausen to the under 30 list.

And your right about there being plenty of QB prospects. It's just that they're white and not being given fair opportunities due to anti-white discrimination.

Undrafted Rookie-free agent Running Back Brandon Wegher with the Game-winning TD w only 54 seconds to play...a 42 yard catch on a little flip pass ..displaying speed & diving into the end-zone! But all the announcer could talk about on the replay was Joe Webb

WR Brenton Bersin caught a TD
