Oh that's right, in practice he's redshirt but I can only imagine watching said practice made Rhule say no starters, bc he didn't want Darnold to get his mouth busted open/heart broken before the season even started. 

I think most teams aren’t playing starters week one. It’s mainly to see who looks good in real action to see who makes them team/depth chart. I wouldn’t really look too much into it.

"We did a lot of good things football wise but it was not the energy I wanted yesterday offensively ...so today I wasn't on the defensive field so I have no idea but offensively there was much much better energy.

"So day two I can't say the execution's there but the energy level and I think our guys fighting back and I say fighting back not fighting back but showing some resiliency "

"I thought we protected the quarterback pretty well except they brought some exotic pressures "
On Fighting
"When you see scraps like that kind of between the two teams... is that something you want to kind of see a little bit ...you got a bunch of dudes like this out here they're going to be a little pushing it...as long as it doesn't escalate to the point of guys getting hurt or ruining the practice ."

On 1s and 2s playing on Sunday
"Most of our ones won't play,  it'll be mainly our twos and threes that will play. There might be some ones that play."
"We didn't really substitute the ones very much here. They took all six play racks eight play racks to try to get them some good work here and now we'll get the twos and threes a chance.   This year's different we're cutting down to 85 on Tuesday so I want to make sure that all 90 guys that are healthy have a chance to put it on tape..Sam won't .  Plan something for him in games two and three ... I’ll take it and  I’ll tell you step by step ."

 

Some fighting is good but it can get out of hand quickly.  Difference between being a pro player and an, so, so player.

With the new preseason schedule, it's odd how teams are treating the 1st game like they used to treat the 4th game. I would've thought we would see them approach it like the old 2nd, 3rd, and 4th games in that order.

I'm guessing now that we're going to see the new preseason schedule treated like the old 4th, 3rd, and 1st games in that order. I didn't expect that.

Getting psyched up for reduce preseason games.

Isn’t the first cut down on Tuesday? If so, this makes sense.

Good QBs in established roles haven’t been playing.  Matt Ryan, Tannehill, Dak, Murray. 

Cam, Goff, Hurts, etc all have played.  

Pretty clear line.  And Darnold easily falls into the Goff, Cam, Hurts group that needs the reps.

Great news. I'm sure none of our opponents will bring any exotic pressures.

I hope the practice against the Colts exotic D will help us get better.

Getting busted in the mouth a split second after receiving the snap isn't gonna be helpful reps.

So we need PJ to get the hell beat out of him but Sam busted in NY because he got the hell beat out of him?

 

Dang dude. Awfully dramatic don't you think. Go straight to worse case scenario.

Sam just got 2 days of practice against the Colts. How many more reps does he need against them? He wouldn't get many more playing  a series or two. 

 

Sam probably got as many reps, or more, than those guys. But hey, let's make a big deal out of this.

Not worst case scenario, just pointing out the hypocrisy. Can't put our money on Darnold only sucking because of an adverse situation in NY while at the same time thinking our backup needs to go through a similar adverse situation to get battle hardened.

Kind of flies in the face of all the 'he's basically a rookie' or 'the staff sees him as a rookie' talk.

    • Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.   
    • Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha. 
    • Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
