Ben feel free to chime in on any points I made here or add additional color
-Brown was first QB to get reps in the live scrimmage session
-He dropped back twice, both check down completions, one for a loss and the other over the middle for a few yards to the TE
-I didn't see him look to a second read either time
-Charlier Mirer got in next for a few reps .. I won't go in to detail but it wasn't pretty
-Bear then came in after Mirer
-Threw a nice ball to Roush up the sideline for a TD, then scrambled on a broken play for a couple yards
-Bear gets the ball out quickly, makes fast decisions, also stands in the pocket pretty well looking downfield when he wants to
-Myles Jackson came in last, not a very big guy, handed it off a couple times and threw an incompletion off his back foot towards the sideline
-RB's rotated betwen Tuna, Tabb, Ford -- Tuna had a nice outside run he's slippery, Ford had a big TD run up the middle
-Zach Johnson made a nice TFL
-I'd say the Defense definitely won today. Offense frankly looked sloppy and the QB play as a whole was pedestrian if not sloppy
-Live scrimmage session was only 15-20 minutes so not much of a chance for the offense to get in a rythm
Again, Brown and Bear are just different. Bear wants to get out of the pocket, Brown is gonna follow the play call. Bear's playmaker mentality could be magical or he could be a turnover machine, who knows.
I can't firmly say Reich was calling plays during the scrimmage but he had the call sheet out and was right behind the QB
