Griever Posted August 18, 2024 Report Posted August 18, 2024 Practice starts at 215 tomorrow. Let's get through this week healthy and prepared Quote
dex Posted August 18, 2024 Report Posted August 18, 2024 Will be interesting to see if the starters play in the joint practice or the exhibition game itself. I got the feeling that Burrow hinted that he would be playing in the Thursday night game, if not for very long. Small chance that he and the other starters could play for limited snaps in both the joint practice as well as the game, but that seems doubtful to me. 1 Quote
Sea Ray Posted August 18, 2024 Report Posted August 18, 2024 Was Zac asked at the press conference about his thinking on starters playing on Thursday? If they didn't ask, why not? My guess is starters will not play 1 Quote
|BlackJesus| Posted August 18, 2024 Report Posted August 18, 2024 I see no reason to risk any starters in the last game. They all know how to play football still, and didn't forget over the last 2 weeks. Get everyone healthy for Week 1 when it actually matters. 2 1 Quote
I_C_Deadpeople Posted August 18, 2024 Report Posted August 18, 2024 For all the teams, the last pre-season game is giving some work to bubble players and seeing who they want for the Practise Roster. 2 Quote

If playing your reserves for PS or backend roster spots is the goal then do be it but any 1st or 2nd teamers should stay off the field. Quote

If the starters do play in the game, it certainly won't be long enough to prevent the bubble players from getting enough snaps to show what they can do. Keep in mind that after the final exhibition game on Thursday, it will still be almost 2.5 weeks until the opener against New England. 1 Quote

Why would a starter risk the chance of injury in this practice ? 1 Quote

Players can get hurt anytime they are on the field. Mahomes took about 27-28 snaps in 3 exhibition games last season. Played almost the entire first half yesterday. A lot of the better teams in the league play their starters in these games. Some play them less than KC, almost none play them as little as the Bengals have the last few years. 1 Quote

|BlackJesus| Posted August 18, 2024 Report Posted August 18, 2024 I think he should be the KR and PR full time ... Seems like a natural 3 Quote
|High School Harry| Posted August 18, 2024 Report Posted August 18, 2024 I think they should release Carman early this week so he has a chance to sign on with someone else. Maybe trade him to the Texans for a draft choice because they like to dive our dumpster. 1 Quote

A lot of teams played starters this week (week 2). I just don't want to see another slow start for this team. I'm gun shy about that 1 Quote
