Preseason week 2 Thread

[96Bravo]

Yeah, a couple of rookie goof-ups but otherwise, CJ looks more comfortable out there. Helps to have your starting tackles this time.

Stroud making plays with his legs. Something people on here said he couldn't do.

learned last week he’s not gonna be standing in the pocket for 3 seconds dicing people up like college. His roll outs are nice

Stroud was always a build-a-bear QB to me. He has all the athletic traits you look for and wonderful mechanics.

It's all about whether he can transition to the next level - adjusting to NFL speeds / athletes and reading NFL defences. That's beyond my scouting skills from thousands of miles away, unfortunately.

The Georgia game proved that one. People just didn't understand that he didn't need to at Ohio State because his passing was so great combined with his  o-line being very good.

I wanted Stroud before the draft, but think him and Bryce are both really good QBs. I worry for Stroud though being stuck with the Texans

Fields vs AR at 7 should be interesting as well. This first game didn’t have much going on 

Fields isn’t playing they said on Wednesday. He’s killed the Colts in the practices so no need to play. 
 

edit: to be clear he’s killed them all week ( and DJ looks uncoverable over there ) but the Colts, twice, actually hit him during the scrimmages even though you can’t touch the QB. And one of those was a low hit in the knee area. So not worth risking his health.

PJ Walker it is then

They actually have a rookie who’s looked reallly good but I can’t spell his name. Tyson Bagent or something like that. PJ has been so horrendous in practice and the last game that despite a super cheap two year contract, beat reporters think he’s a potential cut candidate.

If that is the case, then I'm surprised the bears wouldn't retaliate and take some cheap shots at Richardson

[Jaxel]

Pickett looks pretty good

[Jackie Lee]

No AR? He’s going to start week one on 25 preseason snaps?

You don't want to start a preseason war with another team and have them try to take some more back.

PJ already looks like midseason PJ. One pass hit EQS in the hands and he dropped it so not his fault but his first pass was a rollout dumpoff to a running back and he just whiffed on the throw horribly. Guy had no shot at it.

If you are playing all of your backups and third string in a game, it wouldn't be as bad. And if they are taking cheap shots at your most important player, they have absolutely earned All of the cheap shots they get in retaliation.

I hear what you are saying, but I would absolutely be telling my players to go all out and not be afraid of any penalties based on the cheap shots that are being talked about that happened earlier in the week
