Just got back from the game. I'm not a fan of either team so theres a couple of players mentioned that im not sure of their names. Theres not a ton to write about that hasnt been said.
Starting with detroit, Kitna looked good for the little time he was in. He was looking Roys direction first, and had a nice first down scramble pick up when noone was open. Jones had a couple of nice runs but is still trying to bounce every run to the outside which will again result in a lot of runs for loss and short gains. Against inferior competition, Arlen Harris looked like the better back. He found and hit the holes hard and had some nice receptions too. Orlovsky and McCown both looked great outside of Orlovskys INT which was an AWFUL throw, but that was his only mistake on the night. On D Ernie Sims was an animal when he was in. He was all over the field and looked great. Number 70 had back to back sacks and looked good against the 3rd string offense.
The broncos starters were moving the ball down the field with little to no trouble until the mike bell fumble halted the drive. Not much else to say about them really, they looked sharp. None of the RBs did anything to move away from the pack so not much to note from that. I would say Tatum played the best, and had a nice low block that bought the QB some time. Cutler had a pretty good first game, although not as great as the numbers show. He seemed shaky at the start which is to be expected. He threw a couple of nice balls but he seemed to be staring down his reciever and not looking for a 2nd or 3rd read once the play started which im sure he will be working on. His favorite targets were Kircus and number 88 who both played great games although Kircus dropped the game tying catch on 4th down.
Not much else to say really. Although it was a 20-13 game both defenses looked outmatched with the exception of Detroits 3rd string D making Van Pelt look like a fool. Not much to note fantasy wise but it was a good game and although I'm not a fan of either team it was worth the trip.
