He shouldn't be playing in any preseason games....

He was durable until last year. I wouldn't want him to get any unnecessary pounding in the preseason if he doesn't have to but we also can't treat him like Mr. Glass. He's a RB, so he will take a beating sooner or later. At this point, if he is going to be perpetually banged up, there is really nothing we can do about that. 

2020 gave me a huge amount of concern about his "mileage." I desperately hope that he stays healthy all of 2021 and 2020 just proves to be an outlier.

Are the ravens playing their starters too?

I think they have a lot more injury issues than we do, so I would suspect we may see less of their starters than even we play.

Here is one for a prediction.....do we see any of Robby and/or DJ?

He's the Franchise, maybe not a QB but still he is. Plus, it would be nice to see how Darnold handles the offense without CMC, you know like Teddy n PJ had to do last year.

If you aren't playing CMC for durability reasons, there isn't much reason to play Darnold. 

The staff seems to be pretty dead set on "ideal conditions" for Darnold to get preseason burn. Not having your MVP caliber RB playing is not very ideal.

The board imploding over Darnold will be just as entertaining as the game.

I believe you're right.

I want to see Darnold complete most of his passes and have plenty of time to throw. 

I want to see the first string defense dominate and get a turnover. 

I want to see CMC break off a decent run then get on the bench. 

 

That would be wonderful.  Probably not going to happen, but we can hope.

I disagree.  He needs a little fire to get him settled down for the season.

you’re just saying that because you want more air time for grier’s hair

Disagree. The board reaction will undoubtedly be far, far, FAR more entertaining than the game.

Andy Reid played Mahomes the whole 1st half with an entirely new offensive line. If he needs the reps, pretty sure Darnold does

[Mother Grabber]

i hope darnold gets some time. i’d hate to see him go into game 1 without any reps against another team.

if you’re worried about him getting hurt in a pre-season game, how do you expect him to make it through 17 games?
