I've survived Weinke and Clausen. This is nothing. Watching JR gut the roster in preparation for the lockout made it incredibly hard to be excited for the team. Somehow, I found a way to cheer for Keith Null and Brian St Pierre.

I mean... started with Reich, went to Brown, back to Reich, then back to Brown. I doubt both guys kept things the exact same when it was their next turn up.

Likely because he knows the calls better than Luton as he's been here longer. He showed his knowledge of the offense a little bit with how he got Dillon Johnson lined up in the second half. I'd be surprised if he makes the PS tho. Lot of QBs out there about to get cut and the Panthers will likely want a QB3 they believe they can depend on.

Lots of quality talent on the Florida State defensive line. Excited to check them out this coming Saturday!

This would be the way.

I really liked watching Dillon Johnson in college. Really hope he makes the PS.

Clausen playing QB was a special kind of bad.

Oh damn, Armanti being interviewed. I remember when folks got big time in their feelings over other fans not supporting him when he was on the roster.

Safety is so deep on the roster that it'll be tough for him to find a spot, but hell if he aint making a case for one!

Dillon Johnson running hard still.

Demani just keeps creating turnovers

McLendon might make the PS. Gives good effort and has made splash plays in both preseason games now.

Good rep by the ends on that snap. DJ Johnson chased it down from behind while Eku Leota set the edge. Eku with pressure on the next play too! This dude has gotta make the roster.

Raheem Blackshear and Nick Scott being inactive == roster locks?

Hoping to see everybody make it out of the game healthy, first and foremost. Some of the position groups are already having their depth tested due to injury (EDGE, CB, OL). Looking to see guys execute and win match ups. I especially want to see rookies and backups alike play with a little more consistency like Canales is asking for.

Oh wow. I didn't realize Solomon Thomas and Javon Kinlaw were both now with the Jets.

Roster cuts will be due Tuesday, August 27th @ 4pm.

Will get up by this weekend. Gotta pay for other leagues as well so I'm going to sit and do it in one swoop.

Where I'm at as well. Everybody agrees for the most part that this was the worst roster in the league last season that would be difficult to turn around in a single offseason. They want to keep the starters healthy and find the best depth that they can in order to see who they can build with. I get wanting to take advantage of the different looks they could create in the joint session vs. another team. I expect the starters to get a series or three during the final preseason game, but if they're worried about depth for a particular group I can see them sitting still. Was awesome to see a much, much better joint session than last season. I remember Quinnen WIlliams bragging about the sacks, concerns about the OL being shared, and talks about the WRs not being able to separate (Unnecessary Bluntness mentioned it after last year's practice). If the team can follow up a good practice with a decent game, it might be okay for some to hope again. It'll also be their only night time game, so it'll be interesting seeing if that gives anybody a little extra juice.

Because the entire premise of the argument is, "This team has not been successful, so nothing they do is right and I am allowed to make demonstrably false claims" which doesn't make sense. In this case, there's no secret sauce for approach in preseason. People might have their beliefs on how it should be done and why, which is fine. But... if the preseason model doesn't work, then why has it worked before?

Sucks for Nash after just having his son.

HOT TAKE: Preseason matters!
