If we go 0-3 in the preseason some Huddlers are going to explode...

We have been VERY vanilla--for example, not showing how we are going to use Chinn, not blitzing, stunting much if at all.  Shenault (billed to be the swiss army knife--has been dinged a bit but did not show his usage week 1.

Week 3 is basically the bottom of the roster dog fight.

Yeah, excited about other teams cuts? Hope that sends a message to the 2nd string guys to get it together. Especially linemen and cb's/rb's

Impressive presser!!  Dan seems great in this role.  Please no more pressers by him...don't want other teams to get any ideas at the end of the year.

Amusing observation.....he kind of reminds me of Hotch on Criminal Minds...did not crack a smile.

I don't see the point of playing him unless they want to make Bryce look good.  

Dress rehearsal for the season? Crazy you have opportunities to practice a new offense with a rookie starting QB but we don’t want to show our hand. It’s not like the league already knows Franks playbook already.

1. He’s coming off an injury why not rest him for a meaningless game.

2. He will get a lot of touches in season, no need to give more in a meaningless game.

3.  RBs really don't need meaningless preseason games to be ready for the season, especially vets.

He'll likely get one drive of work at most.

Sanders wants to play and it'll be good to get some in-game reps with his new look offense.

It's a new offense  created with Thomas Brown.

Atta boy Smitty! Coach him up!

Side thought...Could you imagine Smitty at 6'2" and 220 lbs? The NFL would have needed a rule to protect hitting defenseless CB's!

Thanks for posting this Jackie. I only saw this happened after it was over and I meant to go back and watch it.
