A few tidbits from a tail wagging dogs perspective: As mentioned in another thread, Driskel and Barkley. Also Hill and Carson will be an interesting watch. OL backup performances and TBH, not 100% sure but I bet Erickson gets a lot of time tonight. I am not as positive on him as many. Bates will see a lot of playing time tonight. I think the coaches need to see something more. Not saying he's not living up to expectations, wait... Yes I am. He doesn't seem to be on the cutting block, but I'm not sure he is safe.
OL- who finally nails down the final openings
QB- who will be kept as back-up
Special Teams- how everyone performs here may be the difference between making the team or hitting the unemployment line

QB - Driskel vs Barkley to determine who will backup Dalton. Plus a long look at Woodside to see if he has enough to make the practice squad.
Offensive line - Hart probably makes it at RT. RG is wide open imho. I halfway expect the team to search high and low through who will be cut from other teams, and make adjustments 'down the road'. None of who we currently have give me any sort of comfort level.
CB - will Shaw and Russell hang on to their spots, or will Phillips, McRae, Harris, or Goodwin show enough to supplant one or both?
DT - Tupou or Brown?
LB - Has Nickerson progressed enough to be kept?
RB - Will Walton actually survive a cut? If only 3 are kept, I'd go with Carson. If 4, I'd add Hill.
Marvin Lewis - has he shown enough to keep, or do we go after Belichick?

Marvin is sweating like Patrick Ewing in the 4th quarter lol
We need to lose this one. I heard the Browns went 4-0 in the preseason and then went 0-16.

Pretty sure #7 for the Bengals is Boomer Esiason. I just got out of a 30 year coma, coincidentally.

Then you missed out on numerous playoff wins with a few Super Bowl victories. Seriously.

Nice! I'll take your word for it. Boy, wait til I brag to my Steeler fan friends!
Please no injuries tonight
Surprised we got Willis and Lawson in.
Nice fumble by Robert Turdbin
Didnt a lot of folks want Turbin when he was drafted, back in 2012 or 13 or whenever?
Wow didn’t know Barkley had that kind of arm.
Ross needs to pull that in.
