Anyway, now is the time to get down to some business regarding preparing for drafts and the season.
Here are some subtle pre-season finale notes:
NY Giants ("All Hail the New York Giants".....I love that line from the Madagascar movie....I've got two small kids, so cut me some slack here....) RB Andre Brown suffered a fracture in his leg during last night's pre-season finale. Although going in he was only going to be a 3rd down back, what this means is that David Wilson clearly wins here. Wilson coming in was going to be the featured back but this further solidifies his role and increases his touches. No longer will he coming off the field on goal line or third down situations. So David Wilson moves up the charts.
Quinton Patten looks better and better. Patton caught 2 passes for 52 yards last night and a TD. He's the number 3 receiver on the 49er depth chart right now but has looked fantastic all camp. There is a good bet he overtakes Marlon Moore sooner rather than later as the number two guy alongside Anquan Boldin. The nice thing about Patten is he can play both on the perimeter and slot receiver positions well. I like him a lot.
Montee Ball...didn't play, but that indicates to me that the Broncos are looking to save him for him for the opener. They have seen enough and might be likely to put him in the mix more than some think. Ronnie Hillman did play in the game last night, which tells me that they were still looking for some progress from him. His chances also have been hurt by the fact that he has turned the ball over three times this pre-season. Averaging almost one turnover per game is not going to get you much playing time. Montee Ball might is a winner here too.
Good luck in your drafts! Should be some interesting cuts come final roster time on Monday, as well.
