For those of us that can’t make a 9am Spring game. We would love to hear from you hardcore fans on how the spring game is going. Sounds like there’s a bunch of alumni in the house......

Also I thought I saw Barbs and Jones getting carries in the beginning.
I don't see much difference between Childers and Thompson. And it still looked like the defense was wining the day again.

19 is Jyran Mitchell. The converted qb. I like him, he looks the part. He is more fluid than Hall, who to me looks more like a rb trying to play wr.
TE will be good as long as Brinkman is out there. He is clearly the best TE. Dudes got tree trunk legs.
Harbs and Jones both got a few carries early then just chilled. Clearly the 1s and not risking injury. Brinkman wasn’t in much either.

Yea Mitchell looked good. The QBs didn't make any impression on me other than inconsistency but I would be very curious to see what Thompson looks like in an actual game. Who was it that caught that last TD pass from Thompson down the west sideline?

Richie I think. He definitely had one that way. Don’t recall if anyone else did. Thompson looks fast and throws a nice ball. But when he misses, man, he gets his money’s worth.

So I don't have much to relay, but there wasn't too many things that were report worthy. O-line play was better. Didn't note who was in though. Wasting too much time watching wr and qb positions. Thompson is a better athlete than Childers, but Childers is the better QB. He was solid. No wr really stood out. Tears and Richie both made some plays but both had some drops. Robinson was fine. Tucker was in but I didn't notice if he caught a pass. Hall looked better. Koko is quick but muffed a punt.Hogan's move is BIG. He played well as a true FR last year at LB. Fills out a little will be a force.
Valentine did look really nice at tb. Quick. He was the only guy who stood out on O. Passing game did improve from last scrimmage. Not quite the greatest show on turf yet.
I zoned out on watching defense.
