Canton Game Hi-Lites

After each week of games i will be giving a hi-lite package of the unknowns who might try to fight for a job.

Last night was the Hall of Fame Game and there were a few standouts.

Washington brought in Colt Brennan who was impressive has he was 9-10 for 123 yards and 2 TD's. The Redskin QB's as a whole were 19 of 22 for 216 yards and 3 touchdowns. Not bad. Sure against a lot of players who will never see game time in a season game, but some of Brennan's passes would have beat any defender, especially his first pass. His stock was never great coming out of college even with big numbers, but it was Hawaii. That's right Hawaii, and it is for that reason no-one thought he would be able to step up to the next level. Keep an eye for him throughout the pre-season as he is going to force Todd Collins to work hard to not hold a clipboard come September.

Also from the Redskins was Mike Hart. In his last two seasons in Michigan he busted Michigan records as he accumulated 2923 yards rushing and 28 TD's plus 1 receiving. Last night he carried the ball 4 times and this shifty Wolverine gained 53 yards. He looked good, but he has to go through Rock Cartwright, Ladell Betts and of course Portis to hit the field.

For the Colts, Gijon Robinson caught 4 passes for 49 yards and looks to start where Ben Utecht has in the past few years. Gijon showed good hands and pass route ability as well as a good blocker.

On a strange note, for the first time since watching a CFL game I witnessed a place kicker punt as well. Yes the Colts Adam Crossett punts and kick field goals. He might end up somewhere who needs both.

See you next week.
