So tiebreaker is the fact that AR is 23yo and still growing, ceiling is sky high, the running dynamic which is not on display in preseason, and the fact that he's had a good overall camp specifically without turnovers.
Side notes..
-Warren looks good
-OL + JT + Giddens should be nasty
-OL needs to shore up pass pro inside: Goncalves mauls in the run, needs head out of ass on pass rush stunts.
-AD Mitchell will kill me... The PIs after burning guys is great... Drive killers due to JV level retarded shit will keep his ass standing next to Wayne.
-Woods is a tough break. Numbers game may get him cut, but he's got talent to be scary. He scored that TD, too.
-Grim Reaper is sniping our guys the past couple of weeks. Fuck.

Pretty much agree with everything you said here. Would like to add the following:
- Neither Jones or AR have stood out. Although obviously tough to tell with the limited time each have had with most of their reps being w/ backups. Agee with what I've seen that you go w/ AR who has the obvious better upside.
- One thing to remember is that only Jones has played w/ (mostly) our starters in either of the preseason games. IMO he looked ok, nothing great, which is a bit underwhelming considering he was playing against backups.
- Agree w/ Goncalves. He looked Matt Pryor lost on some of the stunts that GB ran.
- Agree on Mitchell as well. Seems like some training camp success has led to his inner douche resurfacing (or maybe it never went away).
- On the other hand Gould looked really good. Guessing he'll get some opportunities come the regular season, so we'll see if he can carry this performance fwd.
- I thought Owen looked good as well. Hopefully we sign him to the PS.
- On the defensive side I didn't like seeing us giving up 3rd and longs to their backups. Hopefully it's b/c we're playing vanilla defense, but I have a feeling we're still going to struggle with this
.
- Agree w/ Racehorse on Bean. It was only 1 series, but he definitely looked better than Leonard.
