He's usually really good at filling the hole, but I do remember a few distinct times in the past couple of years where he did take the wrong angle (it was the opposite with Pratt: he would NEVER take the right angle, save for once in a blue moon).
Ivey also had a rough first 2/3 snaps, then a really good 1/3 snaps. He is a top gunner on Teams and every time he had played on D for us since drafted, he has popped some nice plays.
My mentality is always that once the 3rd string/PS/cut guys come into the game, it is purely to see some big plays and be entertained: if they get gashed, I couldn't care less.
Yeah once the later guys come in its tough to judge. For me its more about seeing breakdowns if certain players are playing with the correct leverage and how guys on both lines are playing.
Also I shouldn't even mention it because its preseason and it doesnt matter but they seemed to be calling a really tight game on the Bengals. But I believe it was one of Brownings first drives it ended on an incomplete pass to Jones but the replay looked like the DB was doing karate on him before the ball got there. Just popped in my head today when thinking about some of the Bengals bone head penalties. But better now than the regular season.
