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.

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

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
