Final Exhibition Game Good To Falcons
Nice night for the Falcons in the final training camp games. For our guys, this is often their last proving ground.
Best news of all was Omar. Lots of rumors that they were going to put him on the practice squad instead of the 53 man roster. He needed a respectable performance tonight, and he got it. He took most of the snaps, went 13-19 for 179 yards. I think the fact he got the snaps, and played well, bodes well for his spot on the final roster. I think Omar has a ways to go to be a NFL QB, and it probably won't be with Pittsburgh. But, if he had the stigma of coming out early and getting cut, that would be bad.
Now, we had three other TDs. PJ Pope was 15-69 for 1 TD with the Bears. And Charles Sharon scored two TDS--3 total catches and 45 yards in his only real action of the pre-season.
We will await Saturday with baited breath. I would be surprised if PJ or Charles made the 53 man roster, and surprised if Omar did not. But, time will tell. At least our guys will have some success to look back on later, whether they make it or not.
