Trent Scott only played 14 snaps and yet still found a way to stick out like a sore thumb in the worst ways possible. Greg Little may actually have a shot at the 53 after that.

Tecklenburg played every offensive snap. Christensen played all but three. Not sure what to make of this. I'd guess that Tecklenburg was largely out of necessity with the current injuries at center. Current injuries at OT probably also heavily contributed to Christensen's snap count but I also like to think that we might be trying to fast track him and get him as many reps as possible.

Christian Miller played 68% of defensive snaps and was largely invisible. That's not good for his roster chances.

I was watching Miller closely, was waiting on him to make a play I really want him to make the team but Haynes showed why he just my get that spot.

Yep, the contest between Haynes and Miller yesterday was no contest and I think they may be fighting for one roster spot between them.

I didn't think him taking the year off last season would be good for his development.

I remember Miller jumping out on the screen with a quick near-sack early on but yeah after that, I hardly noticed him.  I think he showed enough to make it past the first cuts so I'm hoping to key in on him a little more in the next preseason game.

Miller had a great dip and rip move on the first or second play of the game.  

But, I admit, it's not good that he's going into his 3rd year here with us and played that many snaps in a game where starters didn't play at all.

He sat out last season on the covid list, he is essentially a second year guy who hasnt played in a year.

And I don't think that's going to matter. He'll make the roster or he'll get cut based on the merits of his play currently. If sitting out a year put him behind and leads to him getting cut, then I wish him the best of luck latching on elsewhere. It is what it is. This is a cutthroat league and we need to keep our best players.

Yeah, I know.  I meant to notate that in parentheses lol and debated whether just to call him a second year guy, but the fact he's been with the organization for 3 years is what matters in relation to how much he was playing.

Yeah, I hope we don't hold that against him but at the same time, I don't expect him to be given any extra leeway.

Whether people like it or not, every single team dealing with players who sat out last year will hold that against them to some degree. A year without football is never a good thing for pro football players, regardless of the reason.

Christensen doesn't concern me since his snaps came at 2 different positions. Quite the contrary, it tells me that the coaches have plans for him sooner rather than later. I wish I knew the breakdown between his snap count at RT vs LG. Due to alcohol consumption and declining interest in the 3rd string players' sloppy play, I didn't even realize that he had moved until mid 4th quarter.

Yeah, didn't intend to insinuate that I was concerned about Christensen's snap count. I see it as encouraging if anything.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
