Big question tonight: who starts at LB in Davis’ absence? With Laing out through injury, it seems our choices are: Jome, Brovsky, and Kallman.
Losing him and cruz and speas AND Davis? Going to be an interesting lineup
A couple of thoughts from the first 10 minutes. Watson on his weaker side, the right. He typically played on the left in the past for Minnesota. Pinho having difficulty controlling passes to him in the early going.
Jeb Brovsky down with an injury. Left arm looks like it’s hanging on the side. And yet here he is still coming back in.
And there Jeb is, not a minute later, coming out now that Ibson is ready. Very different players, will be interesting to see how the team adapts to the addition of Ibson and the lack of Brovsky.
Watson closes quickly and intercepts a long cross field pass. Those are the little things that Watson can bring to this team.
Yikes. Brent Kallman just played the worst game I think I’ve seen a United player put up. Absolutely disastrous.
Also, when any player goes down with a non-contact injury and immediately grabs his ACL, don’t boo/ooh-ahh chant the dude. This is low level professional sports and dudes are playing for peanuts. We also failed to kick the ball out of play when this happened. Bush league stuff from the team and fans. It was nice to see a large amount of fans stick around to the end (and to see the team put in a good effort after Kallman was taken off), but man, that was some bush-league nonsense.
