I usually don't watch pre-season game because it's mostly garbage football (Hall of Fame game comes to mind). However, I was pleasantly surprised with the Browns and Green Bay Packers - a good game to watch for 60 minutes. I was unable to watch the game live so I DVR'd it and then watched it later. I know who records NFL preseason games?
Props to Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace for strong games. I think we're going to like Brian Robiskie and Ben Watson. The passing game has to be better in 2009. It can't be any worse. For the first time in a couple of years, the Browns looked like an offense and more importantly an NFL-competent offense. I was especially impressed with Wallace's arm – looks better than Delhomme's who I hope is recovered from surgery.
Green Bay has a great offense but I'm still concerned about the defense. Packers didn't attempt to run the ball and the secondary got carved up. It was almost too easy for QB Aaron Rodgers. I like the fact that Joe Haden and TJ Ward both played a lot and made some nice plays and some bad plays.
Unsung heroes we take for granted: Phil Dawson and Blake Constanzo. The Browns special teams have been very solid these last few years.
