I said I thought PJ and Corral would get all the snaps.  Had Matt at almost 2 full quarters.  I don't think wanting 4 quarters of Matt Corral is really being that pro Corral.  That's not good development.  Give him hardly no reps in camp and then have him go play a NFL game for 3 quarters out the gate?  Who does that to a 3rd round rookie.  

The Seahawks?

it's preseason game 1.  

I mean, if you gave Sam and Baker 2 series a piece that would mean starters playing into the 2nd quarter?! In preseason game 1.     

Did a single team play their starters for a complete quarter last preseason in the first game?  How many played their starting O at all? 

 

 

Good point. I honestly don't remember anything about last year's preseason, though with only 3 games now I bet starters see some action in game 1 and 2 and none in game 3. Anyone remember what we actually did with the 3 preseason games last year?

starters only played in preseason game 3 last year.  

I don't have a problem w/ Icky or some unproven starters getting some odd reps.  Sam should of been playing last preseason.  He needed any work he could get. But I don't want DJ Moore and the likes out there playing a bunch of preseason games vs backups.

They have plenty of WR's to get a look at. Need to see Saunders do his slot thing against guys that are actually going to hit him before Rhule declares him a starter

CJ Saunders should play in every preseason game.  CJ Saunders isn't DJ Moore or Moton or CMC or Shaq, etc. 

Rivera isn't going to be playing his starting D the first half.

It's also a bit different this year since we have an open competition at QB (allegedly). Last year Sam was the clear cut starter and for some reason Rhule was babying him. Can't really baby Baker and Sam or they won't get enough reps to even compare them. Unless, as hoped, we are already set on Baker. I can't see us sitting them both for 2 games. One of them or both will see some time this weekend.

I mean, I'm just saying what I think happens, not what I want to see. 

Rhule already said he won't play one and not the other.      I just don't see how a HC can risk his starters for that long in preseason game 1 for a fake competition.  Everyone on the team already knows Baker is better.

Baker gets 1 series, maybe 2.

Sam gets 2 series.

Corral plays next up until the 4th Q.

PJ plays the 4th Q.

I like this idea, but Rhule will probably play Sam first and then play baker with the 2s for like a full quarter. 

Then we will see a little bit of Matt and the rest PJ.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
