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.

    • Try reading the Huddle. It's pretty much the only topic. 
    • Man.... you all have been ruined by Rhule and Fitt.  Take a moment to look back at areas where we improved and try to grasp on a glimmer of hope and optimism....   Week 1: Sept. 8 at New Orleans  (L) 0-1 I think, all things being equal, we split our divisional opponents.  The Saints are not scary, are not coached well, and are going to get old all at once.  However, being in the Superdome for the first game of the year I lean in to homefield advantage causing us to have a few careless mistakes at the wrong time.  Close game, 27-24 Saints  Week 2: Sept 15 vs. Los Angeles Chargers (W) 1-1 The Chargers have lots of work to do.  This game comes down to one main factor; can we stop the run.  I think our defense, at least at the beginning of the season will be firing on all cylinders.  Close game again, but this time we get the W 24 - 18 Panthers Week 3: Sept 22 at Las Vegas  (W) 2-1 I am a HUGE Gardner Minshew fan, but I don't believe the Raiders are much better than we are.  So long as we don't get beat up by their tight ends all game, I think we should be the better team if we pound the rock.  W - 24-21 Panthers Week 4: Sept. 29 vs. Cincinnati  (L) 2-2 This is going to be a reality check.  We feel good being over .500 for the first time since I can remember.  They are just better.  L - 31-21 Bengals Week 5: Oct. 6 at Chicago (W) 3-2 This is a PRIDE game.  We want it more. W - 24 - 15 Panthers Week 6: Oct. 13 vs. Atlanta (W) 4- 2 This is our turn to get a home W in our division.  Flacons are either going to be pretty good, or a huge bust.  Either way I think they will be susceptible for an upset here and there.  We weren't too far off from beating them last year.   W 27 - 24 Panthers Week 7: Oct. 20 at Washington  (W) 5 - 2  Their defense is good, Offense is a work in progress.... Sound familiar?  This will be bowling shoe ugly but I think we run it better than they do.  W 17 - 12 Panthers Week 8: Oct. 27 at Denver (L) 5-3 If this was at home I would choose us, but I don't see us winning at Mile High.  I will stick with the copy and past analysis on this one.  LSS - we cannot escape our cure of Sean Peyton. L 24 - 18 Broncos Week 9: Nov. 3 vs. New Orleans (W) 6 - 3 Home game, bad team, we win.  W - 27 - 24 Panthers Week 10: Nov. 10 vs. N.Y. Giants (Munich, Germany) (W) 7 - 3 The Giants have an improved pass rush and a rookie WR.  That is their strength.  I think we will be better prepared.  W - Panthers 27 - 21 Week 11: Nov. 17 BYE Week 12: Nov. 24 vs. Kansas City (L) 7 - 4 We'll get crushed, and hit the downward trajectory of our season starting now....  L Chiefs - 34 - 21 Week 13: Dec. 1 vs. Tampa Bay (L) 7 - 5 We are licking our wounds from the KC game and it shows up in the box score.  L - Bucs 24 - 15 Week 14: Dec 8 at Philadelphia (L) 7- 6 I think we give them a game, but come up short in the end.  L - Eagles 32 - 24 Week 15: Dec: 15 vs. Dallas (L) 7 - 7 I want to pick an upset here.  No Dan Quinn, Lots of pressure for Dallas, they have been really healthy for a long time.  But common sense prevails, they are better.  L - Cowboys 24 - 21 Week 16: Dec. 22 vs. Arizona (W) 8 - 7 Get right game, but a tough one.  We need this one to calm the huddle down.  W - Panthers 28 - 24 Week 17: Dec. 29 at Tampa Bay (W) 9 - 7 TB is right where we are.  This is our 50/50 spilt  W - 22 - 25 Week 18: Jan. 4 or 5 at Atlanta (L) 9 - 8 Falcons win the division.  We show improvement from much better coaching and offensive line play.  The Huddle is calms down, but like always is not happy. Full League Prediction: Prepare the poop emojis!!!!!
    • The problem that Bryce faces is his lack of prototypical tools.  He's not the tall, strong armed mobile QB that tends to get drafted first overall.  His game is not played in underwear on a practice field.  His best asset are his intangibles.  They aren't sexy like a cannon arm or a fast 40 yard dash. OK, so we took the lesser athlete.  Bryce put up a pretty bad season with a bad team around him.  The coaching staff, for all it's platitudes, sucked.  They made sure Bryce could run a huddle, but didn't help him get better as a player.  Bad choice. Compare that to what other teams did to their Rookies:  they put them in position to succeed with better personnel and better play calling.  Sure, there are physical differences which are going to affect the outcomes, but you can't change it. Am I trying to ride to the defense of Bryce?  Only a little.  He's my favorite team's QB, and I believe in him.  Now, he's got this year to show that he's "the No. 1 for a reason" (Thanks CJ Stroud).  Will he, won't he?  I don't know at all.  That's on the D&D crew to put Bryce is position to play well.  Running the ball is going to make things a lot easier for Bryce.  Does that discount his success if he plays well?  For some of y'all it will.  Some of y'all just don't like Bryce, like he stole you DoorDash or something. Regardless, let's see what happens in 2024.  If Bryce stinks it up, then we're going back to the QB well again.
