Under Marvin, with the coordinator change last season, he did two.

I'm thinking the same, but it depends. Honestly, with SO many people out, it might make sense just to do one. Then again, he does need work behind this offensive line. He needs trust/confidence in them.

I admit I wished they were starting Morgan and Willis instead of Core and Malone.

I'd say it probably depends  just on how things go. They move the ball good and feel comfortable he probably won't go more than 2. It's kinda iffy he may play a bit more.

Good luck to Dalton.

Taylor is playing scrubs over talent... I hate him already!

Hard to disagree. 

I don't understand the obsession with Cody Core. I just don't. I'm hoping Willis gets time in. I'm guessing they'll probably run a play or two with multiple wideouts. Would love to see Willis work with Dalton. I haven't really seen a connection with Malone/Core. So, we will see.

I believe it was Hobson who posted Dalton's series in first game in terms of correlation to future success. His worst start in pre season came in 2015. Unfortunately, like the team's success in pre-season not a whole lot to go on.

If anything, the only thing I've seen ring true was the offense's lack of production in pre-season. That was resounding through the regular season.

the Optimist in me says: Andy to Ross for 20 yrs. (Ross better be playing or i'll be roasting him all night)
the Pessimist in me says: sack

I think I just heard Ross is out.

And the game just came up on NFL.com's streaming.

Unfortunately the game is in KC so we have to suffer through the Chiefs broadcasters making stupid and ridiculous claims about Patrick Mahomes.

As long as we don’t get the jumbo torn picture of our head coach like a deer in headlight the year is already better

They act like he was the MVP in his first season as a starter, or something.  It's absurd.

I would dispute his deserving it, and they were making absurd claims like GOAT.

Which WR fumbled? Was it Boyd? He got that big contract...he's a bum! They'll call that incomplete I think.

[Bengalitis]

ok, very well then.

he is playing players who 
1) arent injured
2) don't need evaluating
3) he needs to see in a game situation

well that was an auspicious start...not

[Joelist]

And Boyd fumbles. Not the best start.

[*Awful Llama*]

Chalk one up for the zebras.

Ross is infecting Boyd. I'm very, very concerned.
