2014 NFL Preseason Recap and Fantasy Football Notes: Week 4

Giants 16, Patriots 13

Eli Manning had been dreadful in four preseason games. He couldn’t possibly make it five because he would be battling New England’s scrubs, right?

Five it is. Manning, who at this stage resembles a rotting carcass, went 1-of-4 for zero yards in the preseason finale versus players who won’t be in the league much longer. One of Manning’s passes was dropped by Rueben Randle, but another attempt to Randle wasn’t even close to him. Manning was then way wide of Victor Cruz on a routine, short throw. Part of the problem is the offensive line, which can’t protect Manning to save its life. However, that doesn’t explain why Manning looks like he’s aged 10 years in a single offseason. He’s undraftable in all 12-team formats.

Here were Manning’s targets:

Victor Cruz: 1
Kellen Davis: 1
Rueben Randle: 2

Victor Cruz is getting another stock down for Eli Manning’s preseason finale performance. I wouldn’t want any Giant not named Rashad Jennings on my fantasy roster the way the entire offense is playing.

Rashad Jennings tallied 20 yards on three carries in the final exhibition contest. He looked solid, but he won’t get many touchdown opportunities with Eli Manning struggling. Still though, he could be a PPR machine, given how awful the New York offensive line is. Manning will be eager to dump passes off to him.

Tom Brady didn’t start, but he actually held on an extra-point attempt. Jimmy Garoppolo, meanwhile, went the entire way for the Patriots. While Garoppolo looked great earlier in the preseason, he took a step backward in this contest with a very mixed performance.

Garoppolo went 22-of-42 for 284 yards, one touchdown and an interception. The pick wasn’t his fault, as there was a miscommunication with Josh Boyce. However, Garoppolo was nearly picked on several other occasions. The Giants actually caught one of his passes, but that play was nullified by illegal contact. Garoppolo then got away with throwing late over the middle, and this was after another high pass of his was almost picked off.

Garoppolo’s biggest problem in this game was his tendency to hold on to the ball too long. Doing so resulted in multiple sacks, and as the game went on, it appeared as though he was scared to get hit. His footwork got pretty screwed up, resulting in errant throws. He was way off on some, while others were very close to reaching their target. For instance, he nearly tossed a second-half touchdown to Aaron Dobson, but was just a bit too high.

Having said all of this, Garoppolo did some things well. He made several nice throws, including a 33-yard bomb to Dobson in the second quarter. He also impressively spun out of a sack and was able to throw the ball away. Some of his incompletions were dropped as well.

Had Garoppolo put together another great outing, Bill Belichick may have parted ways with Ryan Mallett. But based on what he saw Thursday night, I wouldn’t be surprised if Belichick kept three quarterbacks on the roster.

Dobson played the entire game because it was his first action coming off injury. He caught three balls for 57 yards and a touchdown. As mentioned earlier, he would’ve scored a second time but Garoppolo threw a bit too high.

Tim Wright also went the entire way. Acquired from Tampa Bay a few days ago, Wright hauled in four passes for 43 yards.

I’ve spent the entire preseason berating incompetent broadcasts, so it’s only fitting that I finish my final recap by doing the same. I should mention that three of the four announcers in this game – yes, there were four – were thoughtful and unbiased. Two of the guys spent some time bashing Brandon Browner, who struggled in this contest. However, one of the color analysts proved that he had no concept of how fantasy football works when this exchange occurred:

“I took Tom Brady, I took Rob Gronkowski and I took the Patriots’ defense in my fantasy draft last night.”
“What did you do, pick first for everything!?!?!”

Yes, because you need to “pick first for everything” – whatever the hell that means – to land Brady, Gronk and the Pats’ defense.

As I’ve stated multiple times, NFL TV analysts need to know about fantasy because fantasy football is the primary reason most people watch games. What’s someone going to learn by hearing some ignorant broadcaster ask about picking “first for everything” in a fantasy draft?

Chargers 12, Cardinals 9

Neither Philip Rivers nor Carson Palmer played, so I’m going to focus this recap on several rookies who stood out in this matchup.

– Logan Thomas played the entire contest for Arizona. He went 9-of-21 for 73 yards and an interception. Those numbers look dreadful, but Thomas wasn’t as bad as they indicate. The pick wasn’t his fault, as the ball bounced off his receiver’s arms. And including that pass, I counted four drops that Thomas was victimized by, including one deep ball that should have been reeled in by Brittan Golden.

Thomas did have some bad moments, however. He lost a fumble on a strip-sack (one of two) because he was too loose with the football. He was also way too high on many of his passes. He had open receivers, but launched at least four balls way over their heads.

– Jason Verrett, trying to make life difficult for Thomas, had an excellent game. He displayed great coverage on an Arizona receiver in the first quarter, preventing a touchdown. He also chased down Thomas to prevent a first-down scramble.

– Jeremiah Attaochu also looked good. He pressured Thomas multiple times and helped force a sack. Arizona also had issues blocking 2012 UDFA Cordarro Law.

– Undrafted free agent rookie Branden Oliver ran well, gaining 71 yards on 16 carries, though his big gain – 23 yards – occurred because the offensive line blasted open a huge hole for him.

The Chargers’ announcers didn’t say anything stupid, but their broadcast needs to be criticized for using the old Cardinals’ logo. San Diego plays Arizona every single preseason, so I don’t get why they haven’t gotten around to it in the past 10 years.

Ravens 22, Saints 13

Luke McCown and Tyrod Taylor started for the Saints and Ravens, respectively. They’re some of the better backup quarterbacks in the NFL, so this game was not completely unwatchable.

There’s nothing really to note on Baltimore’s side. Meanwhile, I thought it was interesting that the Saints started Khiry Robinson and then went to Mark Ingram later on the opening drive. Both gained eight yards, though Robinson needed two carries, while Ingram had only one. Ingram looked good on his sole rush, and the Saints’ announcers commented that he’s been terrific throughout the entire offseason. The play-by-play guy said something along the lines of, “He’s in such great shape, he’s looking like he’s running toward the Heisman again.” I like Ingram as a high-upside 11th- or 12th-round fantasy pick.

Brandin Cooks was on the field with the players who started this game. He caught three balls for 30 yards. I still want to see him interact with Drew Brees.

Raiders 41, Seahawks 31

What the hell got into the Raiders? They had never shown any interest in winning preseason games under Dennis Allen, but they were completely focused and motivated to slaughter the Seahawks, taking a 28-7 lead beore Derek Carr left the field.

All I have to say about Carr is “wow.” Despite looking absolutely dreadful in the team’s first two preseason contests, Carr was brilliant in the finale, going 11-of-13 for 143 yards and three touchdowns. Now, before you cite that Carr was doing this against Seattle scrubs, note that he engineered a touchdown drive versus the Seahawk No. 1 defense. Yes, Richard Sherman was on the field. Sherman had no answer for the Carr-to-Denarius moore connection, as Moore beat the Madden cover boy.

Carr was lucky on one of his three scores. The pass got tipped by a Seattle defender and somehow landed in Mychal Rivera’s hands. However, Carr made up for it by lofting a great, back-shoulder touchdown to Moore (3 catches, 58 yards, 2 TDs) on his next possession. That was his final throw of the evening.

Carr has to start. I don’t think there’s any question about it. What he did in this contest showed way more promise than anything the injured and decrepit Matt Schaub displayed this preseason. Carr will at least present the Raiders with some hope. All Schaub will do is heave pick-sixes.

Sherman was on the field for one drive, as mentioned, and Russell Wilson played the same amount of time. Wilson basically did whatever he wanted against Oakland’s backups, connecting on all three of his pass attempts for 77 yards and a touchdown to Luke Willson.

Here were Wilson’s targets:

Jermaine Kearse: 1
Zach Miller: 1
Luke Willson: 1

Marshawn Lynch was a healthy scratch. Christine Michael sat because of an injury. That meant that Robert Turbin got most of the touches early on. The Raiders did a good job of bottling him up, limiting him to 11 yards on four carries.

I don’t think I’ve made fun of the Raider announcers yet this preseason. These guys are all 80-year-old men who have no idea what’s going on when they’re not saying homer things like, “The Cowboys are America’s team, but the Raiders are the world’s team!” I especially found it amusing when one of the zombie announcers began muttering something but then completely forgot what he wanted to say before failing to finish his thought:

“He’s from Stanford he’s uhh… he’s uhh… he’s uhh…”

Vikings 19, Titans 3

Neither team used its starter in this game, which was played in a downpour. However, it was definitely worth watching because two impressive rookie signal-callers squared off.

Teddy Bridgewater is the quarterback with the greater profile. He played into the second quarter, going 4-of-9 for 17 yards and a touchdown.

Bridgewater had a mixed performance. He did a good job of breaking out of a sack to turn the play into a gain of five yards. He also tossed a nice fade touchdown to Adam Thielen on the opening drive. However, he missed a few of his passes. Only one of his incompletions was a drop.

Zach Mettenberger was slightly more impressive. He was on the field much longer than his counterpart, playing into the third quarter.

Mettenberger went 12-of-17 for 154 yards. His best throw was on a rope to Justin Hunter (2 catches, 53 yards) for a 34-yard gain. Mettenberger, who also endured one pass drop, was strip-sacked under heavy pressure. However, it was a positive performance for him overall. I’d like to see him push for a starting job in 2015 if Jake Locker doesn’t live up to expectations.

Bishop Sankey ran well in slippery conditions, tallying 43 yards on seven carries. He had some shifty runs, displaying more agility than Shonn Greene has ever dreamed of. Sankey will be the starter at some point.

Broncos 27, Cowboys 3

Brock Osweiler is the only reason you should watch this game. The third-year signal-caller has matured at an enormous rate throughout his NFL career, and he appears close to being ready to start. Of course, there’s someone named Peyton Manning standing in his way…

Osweiler went 9-of-13 for 190 yards. One of his few incompletions was dropped. He was very impressive against the Cowboys. He also showed off some impressive scrambling ability, running for a 26-yard gain.

Rookie Cody Latimer had an impressive 57-yard reception in the third quarter. He caught a short pass and did the rest. There was only one Cowboy who stood in his way of the end zone.

The rest of the significant Broncos had the night off. It’s telling that John Fox used C.J. Anderson in this contest, while Ronnie Hillman didn’t suit up. Anderson mustered 33 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries.

The Cowboys are going to be in big trouble if/when Tony Romo gets hurt. Brandon Weeden sucks. He went 6-of-12 for 75 yards and a pick, which was a forced throw. He had several poor throws in which he missed his targets by a mile.

Redskins 24, Buccaneers 10

It was the Colt McCoy show for the Redskins. McCoy was at the helm for Washington the entire contest. He went 22-of-29 for 321 yards, two touchdowns and a pair of interceptions. However, an 80-yard score of McCoy’s was a short dump-off pass to Lache Seastrunk where the rookie running back just outran everyone.

McCoy did some things well, like throw some nice passes on the run, but overall, he was the same, old, mediocre backup signal-caller we’ve come to know and love. It’ll be a surprise if he makes the final roster.

Washington will have a tough choice to make with Silas Redd and Seastrunk. Do they keep both? Seastrunk was impressive this preseason, while Redd ran very hard in this contest, gaining 79 yards and a touchdown on just 14 carries.

I was impressed with fourth-round rookie Ryan Grant. The Tulane product caught five balls for 73 yards and a score. He made some tough catches all while running very good routes. Grant has enjoyed a stellar offseason, and he could contribute sooner rather than later.

The Buccaneers clearly didn’t give a damn about this game because they used Mike Kafka for most of the contest, as they put Mike Glennon on the field for one drive. I won’t mention anything else about them.

49ers 40, Texans 13

Both starting quarterbacks sat in this game, but that’s OK because we got to watch Case Keenum and Blaine Gabbert battle it out to the death!

OK, maybe this game wasn’t that dramatic. Both Keenum and Gabbert looked like trash. Gabbert struggled to complete passes, going 4-of-11 for 60 yards and a touchdown. He nearly had a pick on an overthrow, and he was outplayed by third-stringer Josh Johnson (14-of-17, 135 yards, 3 TDs, INT). Trading for Gabbert was so incredibly stupid, and that was obvious at the time. No smart football person outside of the 49ers’ organization thought this was a good idea.

The most relevant quarterback in this contest was Tom Savage. The fourth-round rookie’s numbers look somewhat OK – 8-of-12, 43 yards, interception – but the pick was taken back for six by linebacker Chris Borland on his first throw. Borland simply read the play and undercut the route. The rest of Savage’s night was nondescript.

It was strange to see that the Texans started rookie running back Alfred Blue over Jonathan Grimes. Blue lost three yards on four carries, while Grimes generated 33 yards on eight attempts.

Houston wideout Keshawn Martin had the catch of the night. He snagged the ball along the sideline and somehow dragged his feet inbounds.

Browns 33, Bears 13

Brian Hoyer started for the Browns, but I have to lead off with Johnny Manziel because he’s whom ESPN tells us we should be interested in.

Manziel had a pretty sub-par performance. He went 6-of-17 for 83 yards and a touchdown. He also ran four times for 55 rushing yards. The ground numbers looked nice, and Manziel made the most of his scrambles. He also did a good job of buying himself time in the pocket. He maneuvered around there for close to 10 seconds on one play, eventually finding Nate Burleson for a gain of 27 yards. He then threw a touchdown on a bootleg on the same drive.

However, Manziel made numerous poor throws and decisions. He passed late across his body on his first drive, and he would’ve been picked off by a starting defensive unit if he were matched up against one. Manziel also lost a fumble because he held on to the ball too long. He was then nearly picked on a couple of times. On one occasion, the Browns’ color analyst exclaimed, “This ball is closer to the defender than it was to the receiver!”

Inaccuracy plagued Manziel the rest of the night. There were so many underthrows and overthrows throughout the opening half. He was then nearly picked off again after intermission when he heaved the ball wide of his target. The Chicago defender simply dropped the ball.

Brian Hoyer was much better than Manziel. He went 6-of-8 for 69 yards, but keep two things in mind: One, he was battling Chicago’s second-string defense. And two, Hoyer had a wide-open Jordan Cameron in the end zone, but simply missed him.

Here were Hoyer’s targets:

Travis Benjamin: 1
Jordan Cameron: 2 (1 end zone)
Taylor Gabriel: 2
Andrew Hawkins: 2

Ben Tate started the preseason finale and rushed for eight yards on three carries. He also scored. Terrance West came in afterward and managed just 13 yards on six attempts. West also fumbled at the end of the first quarter, and that could hurt his playing time.

As for the Bears, they used David Fales the entire game. The rookie signal-caller went 13-of-24 for 146 yards, one touchdown and a pick. Fales made several poor throws in this contest. He also held on to the ball too long on several occasions.

Santonio Holmes hurt Fales at one point with a drop, but he eventually scored on a 32-yard touchdown, beating Justin Gilbert. Both Gilbert and Leon McFadden were two Cleveland corners who struggled immensely in this matchup.

Panthers 10, Steelers 0

Derek Anderson and Landry Jones started for the Panthers and Steelers, respectively, in a very boring 10-0 contest. However, there are a couple of players worth mentioning:

– Kelvin Benjamin caught four passes for 56 yards. He could have enjoyed a much better night, however, had he reeled in a touchdown on the opening drive. He let the ball fall right through his hands.

– Another rookie receiver, Martavis Bryant, had to leave the game with a shoulder injury. Unlike Benjamin, he won’t make any sort of impact this year.

– Landry Jones generated a nice completion percentage, connecting on 14-of-18 passes. However, this is horribly misleading. Jones’ 18 attempts went for just 97 yards. He got away with an interception and a safety as well; he simply froze with pressure in his face and was tackled on his own 1-yard line. The Steelers’ color analyst was completely disappointed, uttering “that’s inexplicable” when the play occurred.

Speaking of the Steelers’ broadcast, I loved how their starting lineup graphic featured players like Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown, even though they didn’t play. Way to trick your audience into thinking the starters were in the game. I bet that fooled people for all of about 10 seconds.

Dolphins 14, Rams 13

Matt Moore was one of the four quarterbacks used in this game. The others were Garrett Gilbert, Austin Davis and Seth Lobato. As you may guess, I’m not going to write much about this dreadful contest.

The Rams didn’t really use anyone who might see regular playing time on offense. Tre Mason is the name that sticks out, but he’s third on the running back depth chart. Mason had a mediocre line of 6-14.

The Dolphins, meanwhile, featured Jarvis Landry early on. Landry looked good, hauling in three balls for 28 yards.

Michael Sam actually led the Rams with five solo tackles. He made a nice play on Daniel Thomas in the first half when he chased down the crappy running back from behind (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I’d say there’s a good chance Sam makes St. Louis’ roster, though that’s far from a lock.

Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

Packers 34, Chiefs 14

Both Aaron Rodgers and Alex Smith sat, so there’s not much worth noting about this matchup.

Chase Daniel got the nod for Kansas City. He went 4-of-7 for 34 yards, and his incompletions were all over the place. He was too high or too low on his misfires during the opening drive. Meanwhile, Packer linebacker Nick Perry made life very difficult for him with pressures. The Packer announcers noted that Perry had really been coming on during this offseason. Perhaps the signing of Julius Peppers motivated him.

People seem to be interested in Aaron Murray, so I’ll discuss him. Murray went 5-of-10 for only 39 yards. However, those numbers aren’t even indicative of how poorly he played. Murray got away with several interceptions, and he also struggled to complete routine passes. Some of his underthrows were appalling.

It was all Matt Flynn and Scott Tolzien for the Packers. Both had success torching Kansas City’s scrubs, tossing two touchdowns apiece.

Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

Bengals 35, Colts 7

To demonstrate how useless this game was for the Colts, they used Chandler Harnish as their quarterback for the entire contest. David Fluellen got most of their carries. All of the major offensive weapons were out. I’m not going to spend any time on them.

Meanwhile, there’s only one thing worth mentioning at the Bengals, and that was rookie running back Jeremy Hill’s performance. Hill was used as an every-down runner, gaining 90 yards on 20 carries and also catching six balls for 70 receiving yards. Those numbers are great, and they’re even more impressive when factoring in that Hill missed some action with an elbow injury.

Unfortunately for Hill, he whiffed on a blitz pick-up, which led to a sack on Jason Campbell. Marvin Lewis might be hesitant to use Hill until he improves his protection skills. However, Hill is still likely to be the No. 2 running back, making him someone to monitor if Giovani Bernard gets hurt.

Lions 23, Bills 0

The Bills played their starters for a quarter. The Lions sat Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson and company. Despite this, Buffalo was shut out. It’s not shaping up to be a good season for the Bills.

E.J. Manuel was on the field with the first-string offense for three drives. He did battle some of Detroit’s starters on the first possession, but that doesn’t excuse his ugly performance.

Manuel went 3-of-7 for 56 yards. He took two sacks on the first drive and also had to throw one pass away. Fred Jackson had to leap for a short pass on the second possession, so he couldn’t haul the ball in. Manuel then proceeded to overthrow Robert Woods. It was yet another disappointing evening.

Here were Manuel’s targets:

Marquise Goodwin: 1
Fred Jackson: 2
Sammy Watkins: 1
Robert Woods: 3

Sammy Watkins was targeted only once by E.J. Manuel in the preseason finale. He then had to leave the game because he aggravated the rib injury he sustained two weeks ago. Watkins is not healthy, and he has the misfortune of catching passes from one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Avoid him in fantasy drafts.

C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson once again split touches. Jackson didn’t get any carries, but saw a pair of targets from Manuel. Spiller rushed twice, but lost three yards.

Perhaps the coolest part about this game was a Robert Woods reception in the first quarter. The ball bounced off Woods’ hands, hit a diving defender and then popped into the air and back into Woods’ arms. Only in Week 4 of the preseason.

As for the Lions, there’s not much to say about them. Dan Orlovsky started and threw for 39 yards on 7-of-11 passing. Blegh. Darius Slay, meanwhile, was torched throughout the opening half. He looks like a major bust.

Eagles 37, Jets 17

Fourth preseason games are usually abominations that should never take place. This was a prime example, as Eagle season-ticket holders were boned because they were forced to watch a matchup between Matt Simms and Matt Barkley.

Simms technically didn’t start even though he handled the quarterbacking duties in the first half. Philadelphia’s former quarterback was under center for the first snap for the Jets. After he handed the ball off to a running back, Rex Ryan called a timeout. Ryan did this so that QBDK could get an ovation from the crowd. The 80-percent empty stadium cheered him as he walked to the sideline with a smile on his face.

Simms was dreadful. He went 7-of-17 for 121 yards and did not look like he belonged in the NFL. Tajh Boyd, playing the second half, was at least able to engineer a touchdown drive. He went 7-of-12 for 92 yards and a score along with 16 rushing yards on three scrambles.

Barkley was more impressive by default, going 21-of-33 for 253 yards, one touchdown and an interception. Don’t let those numbers fool you though; Barkley was nearly picked several times on his opening drive, and his interception ultimately occurred because of a miscommunication.

The Eagles’ inept announcers provided us with one more stupid comment for the road. The play-by-play guy had this to say when Nick Foles, Mark Sanchez and Barkley were on the screen at the same time:

“There’s the Eagles’ three-headed quarterback, Nick Foles, Mark Sanchez and Matt Barkley!”

Three-headed quarterback? Does this guy even football?

Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

Falcons 24, Jaguars 14

Both the Falcons and Jaguars sat their starting quarterbacks, but Blake Bortles played for about a quarter, so this game was worth watching for a bit.

The Bortles decision was curious. I understand giving him more action, and it’s nice that the coaching staff put him out on the field with Cecil Shorts and Marqise Lee, but it used the backup offensive line to protect him. It risked injury there – Bortles was sacked twice – which would have been disastrous because Bortles is the team’s best quarterback. He needs to be the Week 1 starter, but that ship has sailed.

Bortles went 4-of-6 for 86 yards and a touchdown. One incompletion wasn’t his fault (it was dropped), but the second one was, as it was nearly picked off because Bortles didn’t see Kroy Biermann drop into coverage. However, Bortles redeemed himself with a pretty, 57-yard bomb to Marqise Lee. That was his final pass of the game.

Here were Bortles’ targets:

Allen Hurns: 1
Marcel Jensen: 2
Marqise Lee: 1
Denard Robinson: 1
Cecil Shorts: 1

Cecil Shorts played with Blake Bortles in the preseason finale, but didn’t catch a single pass. He was targeted just once on a play in which Bortles was nearly picked off. Shorts is not worth a fantasy roster spot right now.

I get why Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Roddy White, etc. wouldn’t play, but I don’t understand why Atlanta used Devin Hester on offense. Hester also returned the opening kick. It made no sense to risk him like this.

Devonta Freeman rushed for 42 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. Jacquizz Rodgers (2 carries, 2 yards) was on the field for the first drive but left the game after that.

The Jaguar announcers were horrible. They didn’t say any of the receivers who were targeted, and the play-by-play guy also called Devonta Freeman “Devonta Ferguson.”

Here are two other things the announcers said:

“The Jaguars are fine with these dump-off passes. What they don’t want to do is get beat deep.”

Wow, thanks for the insight. Here I thought Jacksonville wanted to allow big gains downfield, but this announcer set me straight.

“The sun is setting on the western side of the stadium, and it will soon be in the shadows.”

Ooooohh, science lesson!
