How do you think we size up for the 1st pre-season game next week against the Titans?

I think we'll play to win....but I dont think we'll play many starters....guys like Portis, Samuels (obviously), Thomas, probaobly Moss won't play at all. Campbell might play a series. Defensivley, we'll hold alot of guys to a series, maybe two..... I think the 2nd/3rd games we'll play guys for a half or more, and then barley again in the 4th...I just dont see us going overboard against the Titans in terms of who we play...no reason too, really. I defintley don't want to have a preseason like we did last season, and I think we need to play to win and get guys some reps, but I really don't see us doing too much next week. At home vs Pittsburgh/Baltimore we will play guys for a while.

I agree for the most part. You mentioned mainly starters that are knicked or hurt, and should not or can not play anyway. I think if other starter's can go they will see the field, maybe even through the first quater.

And yes of course we do not want to start with a pre-season like we had last season. There will be a sense of urgency to get this thing going quickly.

I can see Landry playing for like 2-3 quarters, no?
