Pats Mitchell just had a beautiful illegal arm bar that the ref missed to rob Corrall of a completion. The arm bar was expertly done so you couldn’t see it.
Pats just scored a TD. Mac Jones hit a deep ball on the left sideline to get them into the red zone. Montgomery ran it in. The pats are definitely trying to stretch the field this year.
I don’t see the utility of holding on to OJ Howard based on preseason game 1. He didn’t offer much even when he was playing late in the game. I’d rather roll with the younger guys and continue to develop them than keep him on the roster.
I also liked that he was doing everything possible to get back on the field after they rearranged his ankle. I took a mental note that Allen and Diggs were encouraging him after the injury on the TD.
Barkley definitely showed a better understanding of the offense than Keenum today. It almost seemed like Case was nervous to start the game and it just spiraled out of control for him. Hopefully he bounces back next game and shows some better timing and production.
My biggest concern from the first half is that Elam didn’t get too dinged up on that pick play where he got popped. Hope he doesn’t have a concussion. He went to the tent and I haven’t heard an update.
