YoloinOhio Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) I’d prefer no entrenched starters -maybe those fighting for spots would be ok - at all against Detroit on Fri night if possible. I would play all the rookies because they need as many “game” reps as possible. And if any rookies were to get injured, it’s not catastrophic given where they fit into this roster. Kind of how the Steelers approached their first game. Then against the Bears, I would give Allen a series or two, and maybe a qtr vs the packers. Then he gets a road and home experience before the season, he gets a warm up before the season and plus the last preseason game is still like 2 weeks before week 1. As far as the rest of the starters I think it depends on how well they are practicing and how much work they need but I’m in favor of as little as possible. I would like to see a ton of Fromm/Webb at QB and a lot of the rookies throughout Edited August 8, 2021 by YoloinOhio 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 No more than a series in each game. Maybe a quarter in the 2nd game 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not looking to trade Mitch early, but later on he could get the Bills a pick in future drafts 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceVilanch Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I don't want to see more than a couple series from Allen, diggs, or Tre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeaches Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Almost none - the way we're humming along in camp, injuries are our biggest potential enemy - not readiness 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Allen absolutely as little as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 None. I’ve invited Josh and Steph over to watch the games with me. We’ll be analyzing every play to death, just like always, while swillin’ Labbatts ‘n scarfin’ wings & pizza. Prolly toss the ball around a little too - just to be sure they’re ready for the Steelers.. 4 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 For the series that Allen and the starters are in for I would key on the running game, some swing passes and maybe a few quick TE passes. Keep the long developing plays to the WRs to an absolute minimum if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I want Allen and the first team offense to play the entire preseason and destroy the opposing team's third stringers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I would avoid the key guys all preseason. Maybe, maybe one quarter for the starters in game 3, the rest is purely the backups. Allen probably shouldn’t see the field at all since we got Mitch, Fromm and Webb right? Their timing sounds like it’s all good already I don’t see the advantage risking Allen or Diggs in meaningless games 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d not looking to trade Mitch, but it the Colts or Cowboys came knocking, I would listen Game 3, even though it’s the last one, is still a full 15 days before week 1 so seems like the right timing …. Game 4 used to be like 10 days prior or something. I would just skip game 1 for most starters, a couple series game 2, a quarter game 3 and then it’s go time Edited August 8, 2021 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
