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!

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
