If Bryce fails this year our offense is in a solid place to plug in a rookie QB. I agree. Much better than 2 years ago. Assuming we have some sort of plan to keep the OL solid of course.

I feel like Princely and Scourton can be 4-3 DEs

I'd imagine BB is spending most of the time clogging the middle. That's what we paid him for. I know the depth chart says differently but come game day I'd bet BB is logging the most minutes at NT. I am concerned we overpaid for Wharton...

Aaron Rodgers might be one as well. I know he is polarizing but his mind/memory is pretty insane. I know he had several MVP years were he lit it up with very few turnovers as well. I think he has a photographic memory.

Yeah his transformation makes me understand the gamble, but just not with a top 10 pick. On a side note I am curious about how far along Trey Lance has come as a passer. He had some great physical tools and has sat for years now.

No one wants to miss on the next Josh Allen. The truth is Allen is clearly an outlier...

AR should never have started as a rookie. He was always a 1 to 2 year project with a very high ceiling. I wouldn't write him off yet, but he needs to sit for a minute.

Yeah that can’t be right. Is BB nursing an injury or something? Also Turk shouldn’t be DT. I thought he was kind of a smaller DE?

But most bad teams, Bengals aside, are playing their QBs and the good ones are using joint practice. Canales also did play his starters 2 series, they just didn’t do much. Also the Vikings may have had a great record but their QB has 0 regular season snaps. Why not get him these reps if they are so important? It kind of looks like it’s going to be spun a certain way no matter what. Falcons, they are just poorly run, good teams are good so they also get a pass. Pro Bowl QBs don’t need the reps, young questionable QBs don’t need the reps if their team is good. I think it’s just was easier to say every franchise is going to use the whole preseason/joint practices how they see fit. If you are someone who takes preseason real serious then it’s probably going to be hard to satisfy exactly what you are wanting them to do here. Personally I’d like another series or two from our starters but I’m not really concerned about it either way.

You were comparing it to Joe Burrow who is also on a different tier. It’s basically half the league give or take. I think Daniels threw 0 passes just had one carry for a 12 yard TD. Stafford didn’t play but I think he is hurt too. Here is a good one, JJ McCarthy didn’t play this week and only had one series last week. Does O’Connell not know what he is doing with his QB? Maybe most of the good coaches with good QBs prefer using their starters in joint practices? Or maybe it’s just random with no rules/expectations.

Looks like Hurts, Penix, Mahomes, Goff, Tua, Love (might be hurt), Dak, Lamar, Rodgers, Baker, Murray, Nix, and Allen logged zero snaps this week. So once again every team appears to be using preseason how they see fit.

That’s assuming we still finish last with those missing pieces and not a rookie QB.

Egbuka is a Buc unfortunately. I think he is going to be a stud at this level. Ben Johnson turned down a chance to coach Jaden Daniels as well as Drake Maye also. He saw Chicago has a pretty loaded roster to take over. I wouldn't crown him a great HC yet either. Plenty of great OCs struggle as HCs plus he has a tough division in the NFCN.

They wanted Twice the Bryce

sore hammy

I also wonder if Sanders was suppose to break free for a quick route in that play. Watching him get taken out of the play would be an easy indicator of what the flag was for. It's hard to sit back and play Monday Morning QB without knowing the exact plays they were running.

The Rams were winless in the preseason when they won the Super Bowl as well. I shared a Reddit post where they took a deep dive from 2022 (I think) and back to show there is no correlation between preseason record and regular season. It can be an indicator of depth which we already knew we had very little of. I would have still preferred the starters stay in yesterday until they found a little bit of rhythm. The reality is a lot of teams didn’t even play starters this past week as well. But us being a young team, starting off on the road it would have been smart to try to let the offense end on a high note IMO.

Manning was also very cerebral which definitely works.

I won’t worry too much until the regular season games. I do think the starters probably need a couple more series. They had a lot of kinks to work out today.

Drew Allar has some nice tools. Mendoza and Leavitt will get some looks. Scouts are actually high on the Clemson QB too. I kind of want to see how Green does in Arkansas and of course there will be players no one predicted showing out.

Yeah if Young shits the bed we ride it out and draft his replacement.

Oh the draft could be solid without him. The next year could be Manning vs Lagway.

Apparently it mimicked being overheated so that’s what they originally thought happened. Hope he heals up fast, he needs reps.

He won’t even be in this draft. He will play 2 years at Texas.
