Three Observations

Position battles are being decided. Based on what was seen at Saturday’s practice, between reps, rotations, and overall success, it seems as if some position battles are nearly decided. Graham Mertz, to no surprise, has all but locked up the starting quarterback spot. Although he wasn’t perfect on the day, and it was evident that mobility could be an issue, he has the most command…
