How much playing time will Matt Corral get on Saturday?

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.

    • Lot of different agendas dictating opinions.  I don’t think it was the best use of money with Hunt, specifically, but the concept of OL, I am a fan. I didn’t complain a ton because I am a believer in winning up front, on both sides of the ball. I’d rather have stout fronts than fancy WRs. I have complained some about Hunt not being worth his deal, after seeing him get pushed around in a game or two. It’s no crusade. And have complained in the context of shorting the defense.   They have leveled out the FA imbalance with the dual big signings this offseason, and it has always been the draft picks I am most protective of. Anyway The picks are the real imbalance. If you did a trade chart value of the picks we directly gave up for Bryce, and added the support picks invested for skill players, and put that on one side… then put the little 3 3rd rounders and a 2nd that the defense got over three years on the other it would be hugely out of balance. I just want the balance restored. Defense is still owed.    
    • I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton.  Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can.  I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. We did acquire a FA center this year finally. We'll see how much that impacts the line.  Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side.  I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline. 
    • Haha!!! That's true. Also carry Tomahawks, ballistic missiles, fighter jets, VSTOL aircraft, etc., but none of them clog up the crappers.
