Overall, I want to see some of the guys that weren't healthy get some significant playing time. Especially Dennis Daley, Myles Hartsfield, Nate Hall, Clay Johnston, Keith Kirkwood, Reggie Bonnafon, and Rodney Smith. Wouldn't mind seeing if Mike Panasiuk can provide competition for back-up center vs. Tecklenburg.

For the offense, I want to see if Brown-Christensen continue to look like the real deal as well see additional snaps for Shi Smith, Omar Bayless, Tommy Tremble, and CJ Saunders. Would also like to see if Trent Scott can bounce back from an abysmal showing vs. Indy.

On the defensive side of the ball, I want to see more of Miller, Hoskins, and Nixon as they're fighting for one or two of them to make the final roster. Kendall Donnerson also put himself into the mix there. Want to see more of the LB depth that we got since Johnston, Hall, and Perryman were out along with the current starters (Reddick/Thompson/Carter). Finally, looking for the CBs down the depth chart to step up now that Pride Jr is hurt. STO3 & Keith Taylor are going to get more opportunities along with Jalen Julius & LaDarius Wiley. Myles Hartsfield might be able to sneak into that group as well since the safeties are looking fairly set with Chinn, Burris, Robinson, Chandler, and Franklin.

For special teams, need Slye to come out and kick a perfect game. Enough of the seeming 1/4 kicks being a miss. Would also like to see somebody separate themselves as the returner between David Moore, CJ Saunders, Trenton Cannon, and whomever else is competing.

Hoping to see Darnold. I don't need to see much, I'd just like to see smart decisions and an ability to stretch the field.

Hoping that Erving is healthy enough to go. If he struggles at LT or continues to be hampered by nagging injury, Moton to LT has to start becoming a serious consideration.

Would love to see Christensen get some time with the ones against their ones.

Would like to see Chuba catch a pass. Hopefully those dropsies yesterday were just welcome to the NFL jitters.

Darnold.  First, last and every option in between, it's Darnold.  If Darnold can be just "good", my expectations for this team will go way up. 

We have talent at a lot of spots now.  Yes, we still have weak spots, but every team does.  The question is do your strong spots cover for the weaknesses.

Yes to all of the above. If Darnold comes out and plays 2 smart possessions, I've seen all I need to see. Bubble wrap him and let PJ have the reins. IF Erving can't go, put Moton at LT and let Christensen get some snaps at RT1. Chubba ran hard, but left some easy yards on the field with those drops. That will not do.

What else? I am jonesing to see Tremble line up at h-back and lay some wood! It's unlikely that we see that much in a preseason (vanilla) game, but a boy can dream. I also want to see him catch more passes, that was fun to see!

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
