Spring Game thoughts?

Who looked good? Anyone stand out in todays game?

I was very impressed with the athleticism of our TE's Thorn, Cutright and Gibbs. The Wisconsin sophomore QB Zielinski looked to be the most impressive of the 3 who were getting snaps (Petrie didn't play). Jim Lizzi was impressive out of the backfield (Carter & Freeney didn't play) Surrency and James Lindgren made some nice catches as well. I don't think the White team had a lot of starters on the Oline and that may have affected QB Sanders. Titus Ivory was in his grill all afternoon.

I'd have to agree with PPower about Zielinski looking the best of the three QB's. The long td was a perfect pass and caught Lindgren in stride. Parsons looked ok...threw a couple ducks. Sanders looked good when he had time to throw, but that was not very often and the play calling for the white was pretty poor. You could surely tell which team had the off coordinator calling the plays. (Salmon was calling the plays on Purple team) They really had some nice rollout and missdirection plays called. One was to a wide open Thorn coming back across the middle. He is going to have a huge year!! Mario was calling plays for the white and he had the same formation over and over and called alot of the same plays again and again. They did go into a hurry up shot gun later, but Sanders had no time at all.

But your right, the purple team had the best of the Oline, and the purple team also had 3 starting D-backs, including Titos Ivory. I really like the speed we are going to have on defense and with Breeland, Surrency and Lindgren at WR, and Thorn and the other TE's, our passing game should be just as effective as last year!!

Can't wait til Sept. 4th.

I stand corrected, PETRIE was calling many of the plays for the Purple team, which makes it even better as he called a way better game than Mario. That's a sign of a veteran, and to have him out on the field....able to read the defense and then audibilize into the right play makes me think this upcoming season is going to be pretty exciting!!
