How did he get the sack? Was he lined up on dline or at linebacker behind griffen?

Yeah, preseason live was bogged down for 12 minutes for me. I. Was. Pissed.

Otherwise, loving the game. I missed this so much.

He will spend his entire career, with announcers saying "How about that Barr ... and did you know he was drafted BEFORE Teddy Bridgewater?"

Thielen is making a case to be on this roster! Think he'll push Sherels off?

Turner's 1st preseason offense looks better than Mushbrain's midseason offense.

Teddy needs to get rid of the ball quicker, held it too long on the fumble and also on that hit.

Teddy had the 1 strip fumble on the fg drive.

Otherwise has been doing good. His second drive stalled but that was a close to be hit out of bounds on the raiders but couldn't tell on the angle very well.

Offensive line is really struggling with the pressure right now. Teddy has nowhere to go with the ball.

Not crummy. He's not trying to force anything. I like what I'm seeing so far.

Teddy looks like a rookie. I don't mean that in a bad way; this is his first game. He definitely looks talented throwing on the run.
