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!

tbh, a player being bashed is going to happen. Folks will get frustrated and lash out. It's the insistence on a small handful of posters to tank every thread by repeating the same diatribes (true or not) before attacking folks that voice being over their shtick that needs to stop imo.

Bryce wrapping up today Thought it was a really good day. Got to compete against the Jets defense and see some new guys. Felt that they did some good stuff and that there was stuff to learn from. Liked how competitive the team was and how they responded. They started strong as a unit, went through a lull, and responded to it. If there's two or three bad drives in a season they want to make sure they can rebound from that in finish. Gotta clean up some procedural stuff, clean up some reads that he made and make them quicker. He's got a snapshot in his mind but will get a better idea when he sees the film, so he can't point out specific situations until he's done that. Getting prolonged 1v1s with different looks is good for everyone. They weren't working on super complex things today, but they have different calls and preseason plans that they're doing before it gets into the regular season. Get to show things that you don't otherwise explore often in season, so this was a great opportunity. Preseason is vanilla. TMJ had a great practice, wasn't surprised at all. Made the most of some opportunities which is what Bryce sees and expects. TMJ was competitive and rose to the occasion with plays they know that he can make. Was great. Never thought about what would have happened had he sat last year, he's grateful for his experience. There's what-ifs for any scenario so he just focuses on what happens rather than what can. Can get a ton out of talking and reviewing, but you can't replicate being able to play. Excited to keep building and that as a team they all have that same attitude. Everyone has that edge that they want to go out and compete, but the understand the moderation/balance required which he is grateful for. "It's football" re: fights today. Guys are fighting for spots, to elevate their teams, themselves, etc throughout camp. Have a ton of respect for the Jets and stuff just boils over sometimes. Were able to dap up afterwards and show love. Not what is wanted of course nor what's planned, but stuff happens and it stays there because it's important for them to move on. Talk football stuff with his teammates, let the coaches handle discipline re: TMJ. Doesn't know if he's playing on Saturday. Backs the coaches 100% on their decision. Taught to go through all of their progressions, stay on their timeclock, but some times things break down. Play they executed in the redzone was designed to be outside of the pocket. Tough for a defense to guard one concept and it changes to something else. Tries to do everything that he can to extend stuff and get a positive play out of it. Make sure they're still able to play sound football when able to. Hunt was able to comeback which was great. Hasn't talked to Chuba since but hopes for good news. Wants guys on both sides are good and no long term injuries resulting from the joint sessions. Biggest change from last season is being more comfortable, having more of a feel/experience. Also leaning into the system. Nothing about last year, but this system has some great stuff and great guys to that the scheme does a great job getting the ball into their hands. Doesn't think about last year because it's not applicable, but has done that with every year. Doesn't compare to last year, every year is a new year in football. Have to be able to go hit a reset and focus on what coaches are saying. Have had great fan support throughout camp which they feed off of. Having that support means a lot and pushes them to be better. Felt there was a lot of juice today and they want to build off of it. It's one day in August for them to build off of. Practice done!!! Team is off tomorrow and then plays Saturday @ 7pm!
