Keep telling yourself that and all looks good. A little credit to Tomlin, he is looking at a lot of players. 15 passes to 12 receivers and 7 backs for 28 rushes. Pretty balanced night all around. Ben only played 2 series and only had a total of 9 offensive plays, completed 2 passes for 14 yards and gave the ball away once on a fumbled as a result of one of the 5 sacks for the evening. On the fumble Ben was left alone in the backfield and the offensive line gave up the sack, if we are going to empty the backfield on passes we better run shorter routes. This trend can’t continue! Yet an other new look for Ben, no huddle. Again it looks like Tomlin is going to try and open things up, I think it’s a good thing and should keep defenses back on their heals most of the year. Ben was the only QB to run the no huddle. Again Batch looked in mid-season form and I think we are lucky to have such a quality back-up. Over all not a bad offensive outing for the pre-season.
Defense, Defense. Still looking strong. Favre was only 2 for 7 and only for 7 yards. The Pack was held scoreless in the first quarter and only allowed 3 points in the second. Some sound defense. In pre-season only the first half counts, then its let look at everybody. Only one sack, have to do better! Can’t get to the QB only rushing 3, something Tomlin did a lot of in this game. Overall for the second game a good outing. Sacks remain a concern on both sides of the ball, but we will have to wait and see. Less then a month till the season opener, sweet, sweet. I may have to up my expectations! Ya, right!
