Bridgewater doesn't look like Ponder at all. He doesn't have that deer in the headlights look.

Why? Trolling during preseason?

Thoroughly unimpressed with the defensive line so far, especially the tackles. Still no sign of Sharrif Floyd. The Vikings are running very vanilla 4-3 defenses today, so I don't know how much to make of that, but the back 7 look fine.

Yep, arm str. and mobility look fine. If/when this Oline gels, I think we will see our future starting QB for the next 15 years :D

Floyd and Kalil are still big question marks for me. Mainly Floyd though. So many passed on him, we never thought we could get him, and now, maybe, we are seeing why we did.

You guys can get mad all you want, but he looks slow reading his progressions and over eager to scramble. Just calling it like I see it.

Yankey playing some left guard. Looks good pulling. He's pretty damned quick.

This back up offensive line has its issues. My god. Jeff Davidson has some work to do.
