Re: WFT 2021 Pre-Season Games Thread

Does everyone feel like I do…I’ve seen enough from Terry, Gibson, Logan Thomas, Chase young, Jon Allen, D Payne…maybe even Humpy (vet who doesn’t need to prove). Those are the guys who are pivotal young talent who can continue mesh in camp but not risk injury in games.

I def wouldn’t play Young again…

I think the first team ought to play the first quarter all 3 games.

Yeah last game no starters should play.

The next game:

I can see the argument for wanting to see Fitz command the offense for a drive or 2…Oline continuing to mesh with a couple new Tackles, secondary and Linebackers needing to see action to work on communication as a unit against live action…but other than that I feel like chill mode on injury risk especially with young guys.

Darius Guice going out for the year couple years ago really helped destroy the offense…I def think Gibson, Terry…and no-depth-behind-him Logan Thomas should sit

Feels like we're kinda ignoring the part of preseason is to help our key guys get their conditioning ready to play 4 quarters. You can't just go from playing 1 quarter worth of snaps in the preseason to 4 quarters in the regular season.

I thought the idea behind 3 preseason games was to basically eliminate the 4th game where no starters played anyways. The first 3 preseason games should follow the routine of previous years, i.e. the 3rd preseason game your starters should play 3 quarters so they're ready for week 1.

All great points…I just don’t know if the cost benefit for guys who were here last year in a new system and are proven.

There is simply no way anyone I stated above on the field rest of the preseason.

they do it in college every year. college games are longer w/ more plays being run because the clock stops for a bit after every first down plus again when someone goes out of bounds.

i think you play your starters for a couple quarters in pre season - but not anymore than that.

Re: WFT 2021 Pre-Season Games Thread

There is limited upside to playing them, the first string offense seemed to be quite in sync from the start of the game, but there is also the chance to get a good start on the season if they are ready from the first whistle, which is needed given the schedule. The run defense and the safeties tackling looks like they need to get as much work as possible.
Herbert and several other major players won't be taking any snaps in preseason for the Chargers, they will take time to get up to game speed Wk1. Danny Dimes is also not playing this week. Starting 2-0 is important if they are going to really challenge for the division this year.

I would keep out any injury concerns, no need to push players recovering like Matty I or even AG, but in general you want these guys to get game conditioning.

Re: WFT 2021 Pre-Season Games Thread

After re-watching the game, couple of random notes:

+Cosmi did really good, some clean up to do, but he's a starting NFL tackle right now
+Fitz and Heinicke played really good. A part from the missed TD opportunity to Hemmingway by Taylor, neither of them left anything big on the field IMO
+St Juste seems to be at ease out there, we have nice depth at CB (and DB in general)
+Saahdiq Charles improved quite a lot, if he stays healthy he can become a quality back up LT for now

-Hemmingway had a really bad game, a blatant drop and some ridiculous missed blocks, we're thin at TE behind Logan
-Wes Martin sucks, cut him now

Re: WFT 2021 Pre-Season Games Thread

I'd play the starting offense until they score a damn TD - in both games. They have to score...period. Yeah there's an injury risk - that's football. But damn, can the starting O just score some points?

Lamar Miller and Kelvin Harmon released. Sorry to see that for Harmon - would like to have seen a little more to see what he has, but of course the coaches see him every day. That injury really derailed things for him.

Agreed about Harmon, he looked slow in the training camp. I had hopes for him after the rookie year.

Not a huge surprise for either one. Nice that they cut them early so they have a chance to get on with another team.

WR position is deep...

Patterson is going to make this team.

Re: WFT 2021 Pre-Season Games Thread

Samuel Curtis activated along with today's cuts.

TE Hemingway no where to be seen at practice per Nicki Jhabvala and Ben Standig... logical cut after an ugly game ?

Apparently he’s in the concussion protocol.
