Virgil Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Is it strange to anyone that we haven’t named our starters at key positions yet? The final preseason game is tomorrow. Also, if Peterman gets the nod, should he play longer tomorrow since he only got one game with the starters? I worry a little about the lack of cohesion amongst our offensive starters as we drag out the competition. I know that teams like the Rams rested everyone, but they played together all of last year with success. Our QB and offensive line need that cohesion time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Almighty Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Whoever starts tommorow will not be the starter if the team follows the game plan that the NFL has used forever. Edited August 29, 2018 by Starr Almighty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dablitzkrieg Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 McDermott most likely won't name the starting QB until he has too, most likely the week of game day. He thinks it gives him an advantage. But I have news for him, behind this crappy o-line, it doesn't matter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see this from Daboll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 There is no penalty for saying a guy is starting and then not playing him. I’d announce the 3rd string qb as the starter and then start a different guy against the Ravens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 I’m not disagreeing with what any of you are saying, but it worries me that none of our QB’s have received the normal amount of starting reps so far this preseason and training camp nor has the entire offensive line and the season starts in 10 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Murray Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) i think Josh Allen could start week 1 (cant argue w the logic if they choose JA) Nate Peterman should start week 1 (his preseason numbers are great. if he plays well tomorrow he will have earned the right IMHO) AJ McCarron will start week 1 (the coaches safety blanket and the perceived steadiest hand on a shaky ship -- will pick him to appease the vets on the team) Edited August 29, 2018 by Bill Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansLanda Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Do we really think someone as detail oriented as McD doesn't already know who his day one starter is? Just because he's humming and hawing over it with media doesn't mean a thing. Regardless of who gets the bulk of the load tomorrow, expect heavy doses of Cadet, Ford and Taiwan Jones via handoffs.

frostbitmic Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 The only players on offense I'd have in street clothes tomorrow would be McCoy, Benjamin Murphy, Ivory and Clay. After that pitiful performance Sunday I'd have the starters on the o-line play a half, they need the work. If one or more of them look like garbage again, get Teller, Bodine or some guy from the stands in for them. All of the defensive starters should be in street clothes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust the process. They know who the best guys are. I’d be more interested in them getting more of them in the trenches, particularly interior O line and end.

Perhaps the last 2 games were more about the OL then they were about QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first team WR's don't seem to have developed any rhythm with any of the three quarterbacks, except maybe Peterman.... but Benjamin at least has some prior experience with him.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Is McCarron well enough to play? If so, he should start this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
