Ok, I don't know how to spell his name, so forget about that. But, did you guys notice that two players, at two seperate times, said Briggs is doing really good? During the game, Spikes was asked "what young guys are sticking out to you?" and he said Briggs. After the game, Lawson was asked that and said Briggs as well. I hadn't heard much about this guy before that. Only fragments. Do you guys think he's gonna make the team? He seems to be making an impact with the other players and yet remains a bit invisable to the media. Thoughts on this guy?

I don't know exactly who that will be, but someone decent will get cut for some reason (numbers game, high salary, a team wanting a high draft pick to start, etc.) and we need to swoop in quickly when that happens.

If not, hello Roderick Green x 5

Didn't Green get arrested for speeding and weeding a few months back???

Yea. I think he was busted with weed also.

I re-watched the 2nd half of the Raiders game and Spikes and Lawson are correct when they think Briggs has been impressive.

He made three tackles on the Raiders 1st drive in the 2nd half. They ran three running plays away from his side but he kept backside containment and closed in on the RB.

He also showed some quickness off the LOS and was a split second to early on that offsides call.

He definitely stood out more than Jay Moore

For sure. I'm pulling for the guy but the future looks bleak...unless he ends up on the ps...

If nothing else, Briggs is giving Manusky something to think about. GM was key to bringing in Marquis Harris, but I'm hearing Briggs' name more than Harris'. I like the competition...DB should only get better as time goes on, so Harris could be in trouble making the roster, if not this year, then next.

The def. lineman Mitchell has also been impressive granted its against the scrubs but I would like to see him get a little time with the 1's or 2's.

I really look Mitchell too! He looks big & mean & seems to play that way in the middle. I would like to see what he can do with the starters. He seems to get more push & pressure than Franklin & Sopoaga.

I like the spotlight you have put on these two as far as competition. Both Spikes and Willis have spoken about Briggs when asked who they have noticed.

This is the NFL and there is no redshirting in the NFL. How many practice squad players actually have an impact in the NFL?

If the guy has some skills and could be productive then he will make the roster and be worked on.

If a guy goes on the practice squad, he will probably never do anything for us.

He played pretty well last night. Had the only 'legit' sack of the preseason (on the fumble) and was pretty much all over the field.

Looks like a good player.

I'm not surprised one bit. He stood out to me the most as far as applying pressure goes.
