It was difficult to be a truck driver for sure.I will be going in for a consultation on Weds for cataract surgery. As much as I am looking forward to good eyesight, I am looking even more forward to wearing actual sunglasses again for the first time since 1988, AND not dealing with the screen glare on my glasses from doing this livestream.Hung out with Honke and Redcast Rob at a the Go Big Redcast tailgate before the gameAlso met a bunch of other cool fans like Jim and Gary, and if I remember right Gary is going to Dublin, along with Redcast Rob and Honke. Also met Meg from the Poppin’ Kernels Podcast, and we hope to have her and her co-host Abbie on the pod. SPRING GAME REVIEWOverall Thoughts on the Game as a WholeAdvantage defense in 1st half with no tacklingStandout player on O: GrantAdvantage offense in 2nd half with tackling, and QBs in red jerseysWhite was held scoreless for most of the 2nd half, but for two turnovers and a couple 3 and outs for 14 points.Smothers still needs a lot of work on his passing.I was impressed with both Thompson and Purdy. If Chubba comes into Fall camp 100%, I think we will have a great QB competition.Standout player on D: Jimari Butler. 6 tackles, 3 solo, 1 sack, 1 TFL, and 1 QBHHaarberg’s TD throw to Kamonte Grimes in the 3rd was very nice, but the INT he tossed toward the end of the 4th was a bad decision.Leading rusher was Trevin Lubin, with 91 yards on 8 carries. 11 yards per carry, with a long of 32. Leading receiver was AJ Rollins, with 4 rec for 39 yards, with a long of 27 on a nice toss from PurdyLeading passer was Chubba Purdy, who was 5 for 10 for 63 yards, with a long of 27 to RollinsLeading tackler was Grant Tagge, with 8. 4 of them solo tackles.Players to WatchOffenseKen: Anthony Grant6 rushes, 71 yds (69 net), 1 TD (60 yds), 11.5 ypc1 rec for 15 yardsScott: Jaquez Yant11 rushes, 29 yds, 2.6 ypcDefenseKen: Earnest Hauseman7 total tackles, 6 solo, 1 TFL, and 1 QBHScott: Randolph Kpai5 total tackles, 3 solo, Players to ExcelOffenseKen: Trey Palmer2 rec, 11 yards, long of 10 ydsScott: Alante BrownZero receptionsDefenseKen: Nash Hutmacher2 total, 1 solo, 1 assistedScott: Garrett Nelson2 total, 2 TFL, 2 Sacks, 10 yards lostPLUS/MINUS...
