Wish I was there...
A few things from this report piqued my interest:
Grossman did just that in Friday's practice, connecting with Benson, Berrian, Bradley, Clark, Hester, Muhammad, Olsen and wide receiver Mike Hass for key completions.
I was really hoping to see David Ball's name on the list there, but Mike Hass is good enough. I really want our team to be in a position where it doesn't matter who is running routes.
In addition, Clark made a spinning catch on a ball thrown slightly behind him, Benson hauled in a pass on a skinny post and Hass made a leaping grab along the sideline.
Benson running a skinny post? That means they lined him up as a flanker? This is going to be a good year. I could not stand the fact that we always sent our backs into the flats, never into the middle of the field. The sideline is another defender, especially when the receiver doesn't have anything other than Reggie Bush* explosiveness around the corner. I would be fine sending Hester/Wolfe out there though.
* Note: If we lost the game to New Orleans I would totally not even consider using his name in this context
The only two blemishes for the offense came when Wesley and rookie cornerback Trumaine McBride intercepted Brian Griese on back-to-back plays. But neither turnover was entirely the backup quarterback's fault as Bradley slipped to the ground while running his route on the first pass and the second was deflected at the line of scrimmage.
You read that right, Griese, not Grossman, being the only two blemishes. Hopefully this is a sign of positive things to come.
