Mclellan shows up quite a bit.

Sometimes good.....sometimes bad but seems to have some upside.

Hopefully Jordan won’t be missing much time this season because Tyrod is balls. 

I'll say it.

McCord wins the backup job.

He looks good.

My guess is they still practice squad McCord and keep Taylor, preferring the vast magnitude of actual real game experience. Love is fairly likely to miss a week or two at least. Maybe the chance to cut him at just the loss of $700k guarantees turns the tide though.

In the overreactions category, Marshawn Lloyd looks pretty bad. 

Smack looks like the real deal and the kicker I've wanted for years. Still have to see what he does kicking a 43-yarder to win the game, or hitting 50 in January.

Also, Hadden and Perry are going to be very hard to Cut. Very good back-ups.

I'd be shocked if Hadden is cut.  He is showing promise in the slot to backup Bullard, he can play outside CB, and we don't have a ton of depth.

I've been debating McCord vs Taylor... Taylor looks very uncomfortable in the pocket and is throwing balls all over the place (probably related).  Neither he nor McCord have had great OL play in front of them, but McCord seems to know where he needs to go with the ball when stressed.  I think if they really want more experience, it won't be Taylor.  This weekend will be interesting for both of them. 

Regarding Lloyd, he goes down pretty quick on contact, but he hasn't had many carries and his OL hasn't done him any favors when he does get them. The speed is evident, but I think it will take some time in live play to get the vision back.

LaFluer should give McCord a long look on Friday. I still think its Taylor. its hard to judge QB performance when they don't have the #1 OL on the field.
