In prior seasons we would se the starters in first preseason game for what 1 series? We lose a preseason game and he wants to see the bottom of the roster in real time game situations. This really makes a lot of sense with losing a preseason game.  We're talking about 1 series here, why all the drama

Seems if you wanted to give guys a game off it would be game 3.   That why you aren’t banged up going into week 1.  And as of right now it is the only one Rhule will say for certain he will play Darnold and company. 

They will get game 3 off too.

There's already a week off between preseason and regular seaaon.

He didn't say it was to give them a game off. He said it was to look at the non starters because they have cuts on Tuesday. 

Does anybody listen to interviews or read the articles?

per Rhule he was going play starters preseason game 1 as late as Wed.  Two days later it is doubtful they see any action the next two. 

that doesn’t sound like a masterplan and big picture vision of how he intended to handle the preseason this year.    Sounds like a last minute change that people are declaring is a masterplan just because everything has to be spun that way

I'm very much on board with the ones not playing tomorrow.

The OL has been in constant flux it sounds and putting Sam behind whatever patchwork unit they march out there is not a recipe for success. Plus, depth is a real concern with a roster going through the type of churn that the Panthers' has. Injuries will happen, so there has to be quality depth in case somebody goes down. Look at how the offense suffered when CMC went down and how much the deep passing attempts tapered off after Teddy's knee injury. Combine that with lackluster OL play and well... there's three reasons right there why they weren't winning any shootouts.

I'm especially excited to check out the competition at WR, DB, and the DL.

Plus, this means we should see Tommy Tremble 👀

    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
    • I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
