Benjamin played eight snaps in the exhibition opener at Baltimore before getting nine last week in Tennessee. Assuming Benjamin sits in the preseason finale against the Steelers, he'll have to triple his workload from last week to approach the 30-35 snaps Rivera set as his goal by the end of the preseason.

 

Am I missing something here? 8+9 = 17, so to get to 30-35 snaps, Benji needs to play 13-18 more snaps. That's nowhere near close to triple the workload of last week (9*3 = 27). Unless Rivera's goal was to get Benji 30-35 snaps in any one particular preseason game, which makes no sense either.

He played 9 snaps last week. 9 tripled = 27, which is a number approaching 30-35. Now, if Rivera said the goal was for him to get 30-35 total in the entire preseason then you're right on. I don't read it that way though.

I hate the fact we are playing NE because IMO it won't give us an accurate portrayal of where we are at.

Brady to my knowledge isn't play.  IMO, Brady would expose how our last lineup configuration of  DBs aren't ready to be week 1 starters.

This is what I was saying in the practice thread yesterday. I suspect when carolina agreed to play NE, one reasons is to play against Tom. We could have played the Bengals instead. Another AFC playoff team

Yeah, I guess it's in the interpretation. I always thought it was 30-35 snaps over the course of the entire preseason, rather than 30-35 snaps in a preseason game, but I'm probably wrong on that.

I wan't to see more Byrd

If he can be as durable as Antonio Brown, he might just end up like Antonio Brown

Byrd's question is his durability, being that small

This.  I want to see him with Cam and the 1's a little.   Him in the slot between the KB/Funchess towers.  See what he can do

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
