Question Re: CAR @ Pitt

Here's something I've been curious about for awhile.

 

We all know that the fourth preseason game is garbage time; a last chance for guys on the bubble to make the the team and separate themselves from the rest. However, Rivera has stated that he wants his starters getting more reps at Pittsburgh. It remains to see how far he goes with that given Cam is certainly out.

 

Anyway, to the question at hand. Someone in the know, help me out.

 

Do the staffs of opposing teams ever communicate before a preseason game to discuss how much they plan to play starters and such? Or are decisions made largely in reaction to what the other coach is doing on the field?

Definitely. Kinda like "I'm gonna see what this guy has,do you wanna check what you have?"

I don't know for sure but it probably depends on the coach. Just like some coaches will do joint practices with their preseason opponents in the week leading up to their game. I'm sure those coaches talk before hand. Maybe guys like Rivera who don't do those joint practices won't communicate with them. But I don't know for sure.

Our OL and patched together secondary need some reps.

I agree. I would add I think our first string O should get some quick work. A just in case, so we are prepared if DA HAD to start week 1. Let DA have some more live action with the WRs

Our defensive front 7 shouldn't see the field

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
