More than anything else, I really would like to see us get through the preseason without any more injuries. I think this is an improved team over last year in every phase of the game, but we need some good health karma to truly find out.

I was surprised Hartman was still on the team honestly. Really do like the kid. He can move some and move the offense some. The arm isn't there though. Pretty clear the rook looked better. No clue what's going on with Mariota. Weird injury.

It is interesting that they plan to run the rest of preseason with only 3 quarterbacks.
Usually there are 4 camp arms, particularly when you are trying to assess wr depth fairly.

I bet they change their mind, as they still have blocking issues that still need to be resolved as I bet allegretti won't be ramped up to play for the next game. Heck, Gulbin may start at center, or brunskill. I don't want Daniels in under those conditions. The question is who can actually learn an entirely new playback in one day and start throwing dimes in preseason games 2 and 3 so we can assess our players? And double backup, who can do so in real games as a primary backup in the first month of the season?
Kind of a pickle.

Good Jones should have slid protection on the play Mariotta got injured (my opinion)

They may just be forced to ride it out with the 3, playing AK and Hartman in the 2 remaining games the rest of the way and hope Mariotta heals fast. I hope they aren't forced to keep 3 qbs on the roster. Certainly not Hartman.
AK seems OK, but not to take a final roster spot.
