Gun to my head, Walker. Grier has stated numerous times that the NFL game is too fast for him.

He played one series, like all the starters. And you'll get your answers Weeks 1-17. Have a bit of patience.

Both weeks our third stringers have looked like G5 players running against P5 athletes.

Or it tells you that they wanted to get a look at our short yardage running game against a quality opponent. You really can read into this whatever the hell you want. At the end of the day it's a preseason game used for evaluation. 37 of the guys that played tonight won't be here in 10 days time. Hell, maybe even 40 when other teams release better players.

No starter got significant playing time today. But maybe they pulled all their starters after the first series JUST to hide how bad Darnold is so the team can still sell season tickets.

*the 37 guys that won't be on the roster opening day aren't very good at all.

Main thoughts are: Rhule and Fitterer aren't going to have any sleepless nights cutting this roster down to 53 We should trade for Jose Borregales to get ahead of everyone else on the waiver wire We should look to trade for a backup QB / hope to god somebody good gets cut

If we're honest the #2 QB job is horrifying, but to be fair to the coaching staff they're trying to work out the #1 QB first.

Casinos must see you coming a mile off. You're not playing the odds with that strategy at all.

Oh so the Ravens did have another QB, they just didn't play him until it was time to kneel down. How weird - I wonder if we fuged them up in training camp and this was their revenge? Playing the second stringers deep into the fourth quarter.

I'm sick of Huntley beating up on guys that will be working regular jobs after next week. That said I'm also sick of Walker going 3 and out every drive.

The Browns and the Bills are the blueprint for me. Stack your roster with talent so you can compete with anyone.

Iron sharpens iron. I'm happy with the 53 man roster, for the most part. We're carrying about 30 pieces of deadwood right now though. The third string is meant to push the second string and the second string is meant to push the first string. Right now the first string is untroubled by those behind them. That's not how you build a consistently successful team - but we're working on it.

What do you do then?

Y'know when Gantt talks about how we're 3-5 years behind the Colts / Ravens? This is why. Our third stringers are terrible. This isn't on coaching, they're just not very good.

Cuts are going to be pretty easy for us this year.

He started at times last year and didn't look out of place. He's a lock to make the roster.

I don't know why he's still in the game.

Smith would be my first, second and third read when playing with the third stringers.

There's a lot of easy cuts in this secondary.

To be fair most modern music is poo.

He has to be a politician - same way he said that it's a good QB battle between Grier and Walker for the #2 spot. Tallest midget springs to mind. They know backup QB is a big problem on this team, but he's not going to tell the media that.

Smith is a hilariously good pick.

In what way are they bad at covering this team?

Has Hoskins leapfrogged Nixon on the depth chart?
