I played with the guy at cabrillo college in aptos, ca, and the kid is the truth….he’s 22 and have the mind of a 30 yr old vet….he’s got his head on right and it always was like that….we all knew he would make it…like i said hes the truth…your guys are lucky to have him…

if lowery keep playing like he does i think he will get the starting job and that might be a mistake because he wont be able to handle guys like wesley walker TJ ( bengals cant spell his last name lol) and a bunch of good WR we have to wait a while like in the 6th week then give it to him if miller starts to suck i am more worried about gholston is gonna look like an idiot out there again well i hope not , i hope that game brought him into the real world and made him realize nfl games are faster , i really hope he can be our shawn merriman without the steriods

Yes, the 1st team D was pretty disappointing. Not what I expected given the new players. Then again, no Ellis or Harris, etc so probably better to withhold judgment for now

The nicest thing that will happen if Lowery competes with Carroll and Miller for the starting job is that Barrett will be cut.

Addition by subtraction.

i agree with you about our 1st team D…they looked like they were on muscle relaxers…and their mentality from my point of view seemed to be its our 1st pre-season game…no need to bust our butts out there…

now i hope for the most part they come giving 110% the rest of the pre-season…doing so will get them ready for the games that count…but if they come out like they did last week…i see them starting out slow and this will hurt us early in the year unless our offense does its job and takes the pressure off our D…JUST MY THOUGHTS…

i like lowery but if you go back and watch the film from the browns game his lack of speed is evident. he was beat on a few routes (a couple by martin rucker a rookie tight end – albeit a very athletic one) but like the rest of the secondary was aided by some of dorsey’s weak throws. i do like what i see from him. good instincts, technically sound. but i am concerned that he simply does not have the quicks to be a succesful db in the league.

After watching the first preseason game, I’m on board with more scrutiny on the defense. As I said, I thought the first unit looked terrible against the Browns, tentative and overwhelmed as the Browns moved the ball at will against them. If this unit improves and plays to the talent level of the pieces which seem to be in place, then the offense won’t need to be spectacular.

Thanks Dakar, I forgot about Bowens. I was wondering why he was out there for so long? Bowens is like the Rick Lyle of LB’s. Steady and consistent.

I’d say Elam is on more of a hot seat than Clemens. Any takers?

i would also like to add bowens even though he’s a vet…he was all over the field…he played really well with the 2nd team D…concidering he learning a new position…ILB…
