So who's playing with the 2's tonight? I presume it's PJ.  If it is PJ or Corral I would expect them to look rough with limited practice. 

I am torn on playing Corral as he's had little to no reps in practice so playing him tonight is going to be brutal to watch. But I would like to see how he responds to adversity on the field.  Maybe that's the plan, by playing him with having little practice reps is to see how he responds.  Knowing Rhule it wouldn't be out of the question for him to come up with something like that.

Obligatory reminder:

We’re prolly not playing many or any starters. 
 

Patriots will be, prolly. 
 

Matt Rhule openly stated he thinks the reps in joint practice (simulated game situations) are more important than a vanilla preseason recital, so take that for what it’s worth. 
 

They value the glorified joint practice more than this glorified dress rehearsal. Don’t expect anything from tonight’s performance except for some flash plays from some depth pieces here and there.

    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
    • If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit? 
    • Bruce can't be that. Darnold can make a ton of throws that Bruce flat out can't. Darnold's physical talent doesn't handcuff your play calling like Bryce's does. You just have to protect Darnold from himself and not ask too much of him in terms of putting mental pressure on him. That's when he cracks and turns into a turnover machine. Bryce limits the hell out of your play calling. Deep outs? Pretty much eliminated from the playbook. Sideline throws to the wide side of the field when you're on the hash marks? Woah boy. That's begging for a pick six. Throws more than about 10-15 yards beyond the LOS? We're basically having to scheme up those shots to come on 3rd or 4th and short when the D is expecting a run or a quick hitter. 3rd and long is basically a "gain a few yards to hopefully flip this field position eith this upcoming punt" play call versus trying to actually move the sticks. The opposing defense is essentially treating the entire field like its the red zone because Bryce can't really threaten them vertically outside of scheming up deep shots on traditional power running downs... something they'll likely be on the lookout for next year after studying up on us doing that with success down the stretch last year.
