My Spring Game Thoughts

1. First of all, I was extremely impressed with Jennings. He has a very quick release and also obviously has some wheels. I could tell he wants to throw first and runs when necessary. He doesn't spook easily into taking off. Very excited for this kids future ad expect him to take the reigns come 2014.

2. Mettenberger was..interesting. I remember one of the first plays, he went through his progressions beautifully to find his 3rd read in Beckham for a 20-30 something yard gain in a pretty tight window. There were a couple other throws that really showed off his arm talent and ball placement. That was very impressive. He also seemed to have quite a bit more pocket presence than last year. However, he still had a couple what-was-that throws. He missed Landry for what should have been a 40+ yard TD and a few others were off target as well. Then he comes right back and slings it to Beckham for an almost 80 yard TD. I can tell its clicking, but he seems inconsistent. When he's on, he can do great things. But when he's off, well he's just alright.

3. Hill will emerge as a star this year. He ran with authority today. He bounced many of his runs to the outside, which did help gain yards, but if he continues to do that he might be dancing for losses against better teams. This guy can easily have a 1000+ yard season. Perfect blend of speed and power.

4. Anthony Johnson and Ego Ferguson were also pretty impressive. Johnson especially was blowing right through the line on many occasions. Ego was also in on quite a few stuffed plays up the middle.

5. I noticed 65 (Gerald Hawkins i believe) was playing RT. I guess he passed up Alexander on the depth chart?

6. Seemed like there quite a few false starts and offensive penalties. Hopefully that can get cleaned up.

7. I was impressed with Beckham and Landry. They made some pretty impressive catches and runs all day.
