Again, not a full-go practice, but could be the best for Keyarris Garrett since he got here.

RR admitted Garrett “has a long way to go” but likened his development to Funchess last year at this time.

RR: CJohnson left early to take care of a personal deal. “Not a bad thing.” Ealy was late for a personal reason, too.

That's encouraging.

Yeah. That he'd even make that comparison is nice, but it seems more of a platitude in light of his status and actual playing time in games. It is however the best indicator yet that the practice squad is almost a surety for the receiver. That is encouraging. If he learns from the best for a year, watch out for next camp.

Doesn't teams agree on who to play each other in the preseason?

If so, I'm sure the Panthers expected to play Brady and now without him is it worth playing them? We could have played the Bengals or something

Then again, I don't know how the preseason works

What I don't get.. is why do they play the starters into the 3rd Quarter, when you have cuts, 3 days after the game. Wouldn't you want to play your Back ups to get one more look at them before cuts?

That first round of cuts is generally completely camp body scrubs who really had no shot to begin with. The harder cuts come during the second wave.

To get a full prep, including coming out of halftime and executing halftime adjustments. The starters usually only play a series or two in the 3rd.

No, teams select one of their opponents every year, thats why we play the Steelers every year because we have a long standing agreement with the Rooney's. It's totally up to the coaches whoever, who plays in the games however.
