Overall, I want to see some of the guys that weren't healthy get some significant playing time. Especially Dennis Daley, Myles Hartsfield, Nate Hall, Clay Johnston, Keith Kirkwood, Reggie Bonnafon, and Rodney Smith. Wouldn't mind seeing if Mike Panasiuk can provide competition for back-up center vs. Tecklenburg.

For the offense, I want to see if Brown-Christensen continue to look like the real deal as well see additional snaps for Shi Smith, Omar Bayless, Tommy Tremble, and CJ Saunders. Would also like to see if Trent Scott can bounce back from an abysmal showing vs. Indy.

On the defensive side of the ball, I want to see more of Miller, Hoskins, and Nixon as they're fighting for one or two of them to make the final roster. Kendall Donnerson also put himself into the mix there. Want to see more of the LB depth that we got since Johnston, Hall, and Perryman were out along with the current starters (Reddick/Thompson/Carter). Finally, looking for the CBs down the depth chart to step up now that Pride Jr is hurt. STO3 & Keith Taylor are going to get more opportunities along with Jalen Julius & LaDarius Wiley. Myles Hartsfield might be able to sneak into that group as well since the safeties are looking fairly set with Chinn, Burris, Robinson, Chandler, and Franklin.

For special teams, need Slye to come out and kick a perfect game. Enough of the seeming 1/4 kicks being a miss. Would also like to see somebody separate themselves as the returner between David Moore, CJ Saunders, Trenton Cannon, and whomever else is competing.

Hoping to see Darnold. I don't need to see much, I'd just like to see smart decisions and an ability to stretch the field.

Hoping that Erving is healthy enough to go. If he struggles at LT or continues to be hampered by nagging injury, Moton to LT has to start becoming a serious consideration.

Would love to see Christensen get some time with the ones against their ones.

Would like to see Chuba catch a pass. Hopefully those dropsies yesterday were just welcome to the NFL jitters.

Darnold.  First, last and every option in between, it's Darnold.  If Darnold can be just "good", my expectations for this team will go way up. 

We have talent at a lot of spots now.  Yes, we still have weak spots, but every team does.  The question is do your strong spots cover for the weaknesses.

Yes to all of the above. If Darnold comes out and plays 2 smart possessions, I've seen all I need to see. Bubble wrap him and let PJ have the reins. IF Erving can't go, put Moton at LT and let Christensen get some snaps at RT1. Chubba ran hard, but left some easy yards on the field with those drops. That will not do.

What else? I am jonesing to see Tremble line up at h-back and lay some wood! It's unlikely that we see that much in a preseason (vanilla) game, but a boy can dream. I also want to see him catch more passes, that was fun to see!

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
