Overreacting to Preseason Games

[pantherclaw]

Expectations during preseason? 

Seeing the players that aren't vetted starters improve, and staying healthy. 

People put way to much (both good and bad) on preseason play.

Did you ever try and keep your leg from moving when the doc hit it with that little hammer? It's gonna jerk, no matter what you do. 

 

You ever had restless leg syndrome? Man, those things are gonna start moving!!

Well, some people are just as guilty of holding on to the past and making legends out of JAGs because of a couple of plays out of an entire season.  This is not about hyperbole or holding on to people because you like them, or because they have been around for a long time.  There's much too much of that on the Huddle.  Gettleman has made me believe: There is no place for emotion when you're trying to build a champion. Those who are good guys and have served you well can be given their much-deserved pat on the back as you see them out the door. But sometimes change is just necessary.

It's got nothing to do with emotion or liking a guy for reasons other than his play on the field. And you'll see that come regular season...

I'm just happy that all three levels of our oline have stepped up & are doing an outstanding job considering what we were expecting. The rest will fall in place.

It's preseason. No gameplan, watered down offense. Starting offenses never do well against starting defenses.

The Dolphins starting offense seemed to do ok against our starting defense...spin it any way you want.

That's a great summary t96

Huddle, you've done it yet again. You've appointed Jarrett Boykin our #1 WR based on 6 catches against the Dolphins 2s and 3s (on 12 targets). Corey Brown isn't making the team because of 1 drop. And you've even gone as far as to put Wegher ahead of Tolbert, CAP and Todman based on a few, albeit very impressive, runs against the opposing team's 3s. Last week you appointed Rakim Cox our starting DE. Hell, now Terry Redden is better than Cole and Dwan according to you. Just layoff on making vast predictions based on a few plays in a preseason game. I can't imagine what this place will be like after Friday if we get absolutely lit up in all facets of the game by New England.  Only 3 more weeks of this before we can finally get some meaningful football. Please just allow the Huddle to be at least bearable until the 13th.

that's because the avg huddler is about 14 yo.

I noticed that. Bell has looked pretty terrible though from what I've seen/read.

OP was the biggest over-reactor during the game day thread....

"Trade entire 2016 draft for an OC"

"WTF Philly, blah, blah, blah...we need to cut him"

and many more.

[Jangler]

I have always found the overreactions quite amusing.

Our third stringers are better than your third stringers = 2 and 0
