I can't believe we didn't pick a QB before 2 joint practices with the Pats. We're going to go into the season with the QB and O-line still working out the kinks because we wasted the last 2 weeks with fake competitions. I bet he's still gonna have Jordan out there next week alternating with BC and Corbett

I'd say he's borderline Jim Tomsula with a Chip Kelly ego

He was solid at guard and then I guess his numbers took a hit when he moved to Center with the 4th stringers? Either way I think having Elf/Boze/Cade/Teck as flexible interior guys should be pretty solid. Boze and Cade can easily fill in at either guard position if not getting starting Center time

Littleton and Luvu are solid as well. interior D-line is the main glaring weakness at this point. They'll have to grab a DT off waivers next week

I'd like any Rhule defenders to explain how giving PJ over 50% of the preseason game snaps so far has helped the team in any way? Any other teams giving the majority of snaps to QB's everyone expects to get cut or sent to the practice squad next week?

Yeah Rhule probably begged to let Sam have one last shot in OTA's to prove himself, and Fitt was like I've seen enough I'm getting Baker. I get the feeling Fitt isn't trying to lose his job for the sake of making Rhule happy anymore. I'd love for him to have control over certain roster cuts, can't trust Rhule with some of his nepotism guys that shouldn't be on NFL rosters

Really like Brandon Smith so far. Seems to be around the ball which was one of Chinns better traits when he was playing more LB

Seems like the wise thing to do would have been to name the starting Qb and O-line before Pats practice, give them 2 days of scrimmage and play them at least a quarter against the Pats 1st string d-line. Feels like we're 2 weeks behind every decent team I have caught glimpses of on replays

I don't even see him as a nice guy. Maybe nice to his family and friendly with a handful of vets he can't afford to piss off. Otherwise a shyster opportunist. If Tepper wasn't embarrassed he would be gone. If another coach came in looking for success Erving and Jordan would actually feel like their jobs were threatened and work harder. Etc...everyone agrees but a handful of contrarians that just like to argue for fun

Also 2nd string D-line sucks ass, no pressure in the 1st quarter. Mostly saved by the Pats new offense not clicking on easy throws

Rewatching now. I agree with the people that are interested in switching Ickey and BC. BC would be better in pass pro at this moment, he's never going to be a road grader in the run and it's not ideal for our RB's to cut all the way outside the left tackle. Kills the RB's momentum and will usually have a CB waiting for them. You want the left or right side interior to open a gap that's an instant 4-5 yards running downhill. Ickey can clear that path now while he works on the nuance of pass pro. Of course Rhule didn't give them any reps in that combo and declared Ickey the LT off of a subpar week 1 performance and he'll look like a dumbass for walking that statement back so he won't even entertain the idea

yeah 6-12 weeks to walk. To get back to NFL shape probably a year, Cam had the same thing. He got slower in general but didn't seem to affect his comfort level, probably a mix of age/weight etc

Didn't catch any games, looks like Malik had a pretty good day?

Did they specify if he's immediately going on IR or are they going to get him on the 53 and then IR him? I know with a lisfranc he probably can't be ready to practice by the end of the season but are there meeting room limitations if they IR him before 53 man cuts? I feel like guys IR'd that early are relegated to rehab and the weight room

The whole effort by the O-line, the call in general was DOA. I'm more worried about averaging 2.5 yards a carry than Ickey falling on top of a safety

Looks like he rolled his ankle more than got stepped on, this O-line though..What could anyone do behind that in your own end zone?

Shi was the only guy on offense/special teams that really stood out. Not worried about Higgins, he didn't need to risk doing too much in a game like that

If they IR him before 53 man cuts he can't practice at all. That's worst case scenario. He needs to make the 53 and then they can IR him for a month or whatever. Cut PJ, he'll be sitting at home waiting for Rhule to sign him to the practice squad to function as the 3rd QB in the meantime

I just skimmed through the last drive he had and I don't see any glaring footage of him getting injured. Did they even mention it live or did PJ just magically appear the next drive?

That would be the professional way to handle the situation. If they IR Corral before the 53 man cut he's done for the year, no practicing at all. That would be horrible for his development.

If they IR him before the 53 cut he's done. So people really wanna roll into next year with the only QB on the roster Corral who gets IR'ed and can do nothing but rehab and lift weights? Starting from complete scratch next year if that's the case, don't even have the cap space to franchise tag Baker, it'll be a bonus heavy extension or nothing

Those other guys haven't played yet this week so it's all camp hearsay til they step on the field Tmrw-Mon. I think they've all been put in better situations to succeed based on camp reps and better coaching for the most part. Ridder maybe not better actual coach but def more reps to be prepared

I'm more concerned about how unprepared we looked towards the end of the game vs whatever string of players they had out there. Gonna have to replay the game and check out the depth charts but I feel like the 1st string Qb and O-line competitions left a bunch of our depth sitting around doing nothing the last couple weeks

All 3 of Boze/Elf/Mays should def make the roster over Jordan and Erving. That's all I really care about at this point in time. They can all play inside to an acceptable level
