    If he has a decent opening drive, get him out.

    Gotta admit, from all those numbers posted from Locker and VY, we had very good reason to be optimistic. I'm still in the belief that Locker wasn't nearly as bad as som of you guys think, and that he got a raw deal from Whiz last year. But him playing more, probably would've led to more wins and not getting MM, so I can still hate on Whiz and his lack of professionalism.

    If MM has numbers close to Locker's in preseason, I'd be pleased. But, what if he doesn't?

    Me too.
    When he does though, don't be surprised if he pats the hitter on the head and says "nice hit."
    Yes, he's like that.

    What I will be paying attention to with MM
    1) Is he making good decisions with the football
    2)Is he "climbing" the pocket or skating out when there is pressure
    3)Is he accurate when making his throws

    It's game one of preseason, so I doubt any of those questions gets answered.

    I agree with Jeff. If he has a good first drive, get him out. Let that positive mind soak in for a whole week. It will do wonders.

    I'd like to see some awareness between the 20's. Limited running. And then a successful RZ series. Build on that.

    I want to see solid pocket awareness and the ability to look down field and make reads without looking to take off and run at the first sign of preasure. Not too concerned about the actual statistics in a preseason game as long as it's not abismal. More interested in how he handles himself overall.
