If it was up to me Josh Allen would never play in a preseason game again.

 

 

 

Good. I want Josh Allen nowhere NEAR a Preseason quagmire

Give them the first quarter against the Packers and call it a preseason 

Even better idea. Bubble wrap him against Packers and roll into week 1

As long as dion can play, and they start the rest of the OL, I’m ok with a quarter.

I'm honestly less worried about a QB being injured in preseason (especially a giant like Josh) than I am a WR, RB, or linemen. As long as Josh remembers it's preseason & doesn't try to hurdle or bulldoze anyone, I wouldn't freak out seeing him for a couple drives. 

 

I really don't want to see Diggs out there though. Already worried about him making it through 17 games, especially after staying healthy through all 16 + postseason last year.

Agree. I think in the near future we will be at 18 regular season games/2 preseason with very few starters playing in the preseason. 

Yep, this has been the plan all together waiting for the next CBA.  The next CBA might end up 18 games and might negotiate down to 1 preseason game and a couple of competitive practices.  Coaches seem to report they like those more anyway.

 

I’m fine with keeping everyone who was out last week, this week. It’s not like they’re not practicing.  It’s also not 1979 where they need two a days.

 

I hope they let Mitch just rip it though as would be a nice gesture for him to dissect his old team.  He’d probably love it.  Dawkins playing for a series is good, but I hope they take him out after and slowly let him build up his strength.  I trust those guys.  Spencer for hire or deadlifting given that Goliath can use all the reps possible so he can be the effective swing.  His first year he can most likely survive on raw power when needed.  I loved this pick as we have two excellent tackles and one that can be groomed who is a behemoth.  Perfect for a tackle, way too tall for a Guard.

 

My concern is Moss coming back too fast with the hammy.  Let him sit for another week, Devin and Breida carry the rock, and save Moss for next week.  17 games and a bye is a long season.  We need all 3 completely healthy walking into it.  My hope is we use Motor inside and Breida outside as well as some dump off passes.

From all the reports Josh has been tearing it up in camp. As long as that is true I don't need to see him on a pre-season field, ever. If he was having some uneven play in camp or looked rusty I'd feel differently and maybe one year that will be the case but for now, I am perfectly fine with him sitting. I would like to see them let Mitch throw it a few times this week though.

I wonder if he gets a series or two vs GB? At the same time I could see holding him out until week 1. Since their was no preseason last year and that worked out fine.

 

I think we will see fewer starters vs GB rather than more. I might be wrong but with a number of guys they need to rely on as functional depth getting nicked up in the game this week I suspect McDermott goes for the no risk approach.

I could see that. I think last year with no preseason games has influenced coaches in not playing the starters. Allen hasn't played at all in these games as proof of that. GB didn't played Rodgers vs the Jets this past weekend either.
