What I'm looking for in the third preseason game

I'm honestly not worried about the Defense.  Evero will get those guys ready by Week 1 to stop the run against the Falcons.

My main concern is the offense, specifically the offensive line because it all starts up front.

- RBs must be able to run the ball and keep defenses off balance and catch passes out of the backfield

- OL must be able to protect Bryce Young, even in obvious passing situations, give him the time he needs to make the right read and throw. 

- Receivers need to run the right routes. Mingo is a stud but he still has a lot to learn when it comes to route running.  I also want to see Laviska used in this last game. 

That is what I want to see on Friday take a significant step forward.  Otherwise, we will struggle to score points this season and worse of all, will hinder Bryce's development as a QB.  He must be put in a position to be successful.

I want to see Bryce move the first offense in the first half against their starters. I know we won't be opening up the playbook  totally but a few more rollouts, motion, etc would be nice. Not really worried about much else but since it is a home game I would like to win the game since I will be in attendance.

Main concern is with the pass protection from the OL (Everyone but Moton really). Just worried they were insulated by a heavy run offense last season.  Defense probably needs some time to adjust to scheme and personnel changes.

No concerns with Bryce from what I've seen, he's looked very good in his limited snaps.

Everybody and they momma's chihuahua has been able to move the ball on our defense. Running and throwing the ball. Not sure if the team is still grapsing the scheme, if guys are out of position, or if its about playcalling.... but there's not excuse for how we've been getting bullied at the front, exposed over the middle, AND Beat downfield. 

Tackles. That what I want more of. Tackle football.

Evidence of competency. Downplay it all you want but what we've seen this preseason is concerning. Our OL hasn't slowed anyone down yet and our D is missing a lot of gap assignments. That's not a scheming thing. That's a lack of competency.

I would agree.  If you're getting exposed in 1v1s that's not due to scheme.

I concur that something from Laviska would be nice. He is a gadget guy, but he is a super athlete and it would be good to get something out of that acquisition this year. 

That's largely a scheming thing and something I would expect us not to show in preseason.

    • Well if you sign up now for $350, that's a significant savings If you think that's bad, it's good thing you haven't become a big Wrexham fan like myself recently. The subscription to watch their games is about $200 for the season.  Yes that's less money, but that's also for a 4th tier English Football League club (3rd tier next season now), which would be like paying for an XFL package here or something, and unlike Sunday Ticket where you get all games not on local TV, you ONLY get your team's games. So I was only able to watch the Wrexham games with it (granted it's almost 50 games) but none of the rest of the league they were in, which is kinda dumb for the price.
    • doesn't have "elite" or even "above average".  It is very close to what they were saying in the Young draft profiles.  Good not great, average not elite etc..  From Walter Football Weaknesses: Arm strength limitations Smaller hands – nine inches One-year wonder It was the only real knock on Burrow.  Arm was nothing special and they tried to make a deal about his smaller hands lol which was a joke.... I really liked/like Burrow.  I see few stay as calm as he does in the pocket.  He needs to stay healthy this year though or it might become a thing for him...
    • What a terrible policy... basically saying we're going to screw over our most loyal customers, the ones who would never have planned on cancelling their subscription, and make them pay an extra $100 unless they get lucky enough to hear about this offer first. Anyone who signed up last year in time to get the $100 off should just have had the discount automatically added to theirs this year again too.
