Pokes in the Preseason

ok, tried to track everyone i could find. one interesting thing i realized was that lane taylor (who had been in green bay his whole career, i think) got traded to the texans
also looks like Russell Okung and Dan Bailey retired

but as for NFL preseason week 2, several Oklahoma State alums saw some action. do have two guys playing for the chargers tonight (tyron johnson and amen ogbongbemiga). justice hill didn’t play. didn’t see calvin bundage. there were a few offensive linemen that may have played but i’m not sure (brad lundblade (seattle), teven jenkins (chicago), and lane)

i’d say Marcell Ateman led the charge for week 2, so i’ll start with him and everyone else is alphabetical order

Marcell Ateman
Las Vegas Raiders - Wide Receiver
caught 2 passes for 45 yards to lead the Raiders, including a 29-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter.

Matt Ammendola
New York Jets - Place kicker
Led the Jets with 11 points as he was 3-for-3 on field goals with a long of 54, and 2-of-2 on PATs.

Tre Flowers
Seattle Seahawks - Cornerback
Had four solo tackles

A.J. Green
Cleveland Browns - Cornerback
Had three solo tackles.

Chuba Hubbard
Carolina Panthers - Running Back
Started the game at running back and had 24 yards on 9 carries. His longest run was 9 yards, which was his first carry on the first drive. On the following play he ran for 2 yards to set up first and goal at the six. After an incomplete pass by Sam Darnold, Baltimore gave Hubbard the next three chances to punch it into the endzone, but he was unable to do so and the Panthers gave the ball over on downs at the three.

Hubbard caught a 29-yard pass from Will Grier on the next drive, but did fumble a few plays later.

Blake Jarwin
Dallas Cowboys - Tight End
One catch for 25 yards

Chris Lacy
Chicago Bears - Wide Receiver
Caught 3 passes for 26 yards

Codey McElroy
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Tight End
No catches but was targeted twice

Emmanuel Ogbah
Miami Dolphins - Defensive End
Had one solo tackle and one qb hit.

Justin Phillips
Washington - Linebacker
had 3 solo tackles

Mason Rudolph
Pittsburgh Steelers - Quarterback
Completed 13 of 18 passes for 139 yards (94.2 rtg) but no touchdowns.

Dillon Stoner
Las Vegas Raiders - Wide Receiver
One catch for seven yards. Two punt returns for 15 yards.

Tylan Wallace
Baltimore Ravens - Wide Receiver
Caught two passes for 36 yards with a long of 25.

James Washington
Pittsburgh Steelers - Wide Receiver
caught 3 passes for 24 yards.

Rodarius Williams
New York Giants -Cornerback
Led the giants defense with 7 total tackles (6 solo)

Stoner also successfully fielded a game-clinching on-side kick attempt.

that’s awesome! i didn’t even see that. stoner had a lot of action last week too. in the raiders 20-7 win over the seahawks, stoner caught a pass for 15 yards, had a kickoff return of 21 yards, and two punt returns for 10 yards. he also showed up on the defensive stat sheet as having two solo tackles.

Jenkins is out for a few months min. Having back surgery.

Surprised they ran Chuba 3 times inside the 5, in the NFL nonetheless. If the guy gets passed the LBs he’s gone, but he doesn’t have much of a power game at all.

I’m always most interested to see where our defensive players are stacking up, especially in the secondary because I think our common thought as oSu fans is usually that our DBs aren’t blue chips but they’re underrated due to the B12’s style of play.

I’ve really been impressed with Duffey and Hammerschmidt. They’re bringing in great talent and developing them into guys that can play NFL coverage at a rate of basically one per year. That did not used to happen for us (unless it was a return specialist and/or track speed guy).

I’m really excited to see what KolbyHP and Trey can do in the league in a hybrid-backer role. Then, with Kendal Daniels on the roster, we should have another Pro on the roster already. McCalister will play in the NFL if his progression continues, and JBC should make a roster.

We’ll never have the 300 lb athletic anchors that give UT, OU, Bama, etc. an advantage, so we need to keep our secondary tracking upward.

well, shoot. marcell ateman got cut this week.

and steelers are going to start haskins at qb against carolina on friday. hope mason lights it up when he comes in

I thought Marcell was doing good.

tylan wallace with the touchdown saturday against washington!

wallace had 3 catches for 27 yards, and returned two punts for 13 yards

in the bears vs chargers game… chris lacy was not targeted as a receiver, but was credited with three solo tackles on defense and had a 20-yard kickoff return

tyron johnson had 4 catches for 41 yards in the chargers vs seahawks game.

on friday, pittsburg vs carolina… rudolph didn’t play as haskins went most of the night for the steelers. but haskins didn’t look very good and it seems as mason had secured backup job by having the night off. in that game, chuba hubbard had 35 yards on 10 carries and caught three passes for 15 yards (long of 14).

eagles vs jets … matt ammendola was 2-of-2 on PATs and kicked a 31-yard field goal

Bunch of guys doing great. Lot of athleticism. Using our guys in multiple roles. Is bundage off the team again?

yeah, i guess bundage got cut earlier this week.

and as far as marcell, i thought he was doing good too!! i found out about him getting cut on thursday…running around town during work, i ran into a guy who i knew was a raiders fan, and when i saw him i was like “YEAAAHHHH!! did you see that touchdown by ateman!!!” and he nodded as was like, yeah of course i saw it. then he looked down and was like, “you know they cut him, right?” i didn’t believe him. he had to google it and show it to me before i did.
so maybe someone else will pick him up, maybe he’ll land back on the practice squad

i haven’t seen justice hill the last two weeks, but i guess he’s still on ravens roster and with the injury to dobbins yesterday, it might give hill more of a chance to see some action
