Nvm. All our guys not named Burrow are pretty not great at all.

4th and 15 and the damn radio stream shuts off......

And of course we have a preseason where only one offensive starter had any snaps. Get ready for the offense to struggle like crazy against the Browns and Rats because of rust.

And for all of the talented starters to be healthy for the season. They are coming off the best back to back seasons in team history and you question how they prepare? What they are doing works…

Are you also concerned that they haven’t won a game in 7 months?

I think this year won't be like last year due to Burrow not losing weight and strenght with the surgery. If he's 100%, even without the PS snaps, they should look much better. At the very least, it should take much less time to 'get in game synch'.

42 is Allan George Allen. He was my favorite backup last year, just because of his name.

Seemed like Battle had a bad game. Wish we could've kept Bell.

Preseason wins and losses don’t matter, but I didn’t see much in these games to feel great about.

Battle didn't seem great and Tycen Anderson didn't seem great either, from what i saw with the sound down.

It's a long season. We should be good by week 3. But I get where your coming from. Gonna trust in Zac because of the importance of keeping your guys healthy.

Because that’s what I thought. I said “Gotta be honest” which implies it may not be the most rational of thoughts.

I didn’t realize that was him. Takes me a while to catch up on some numbers. That’s my preseason.

Seeing Juedy get carted off made my decision for me.

I’m ok with starting seasons rusty if it means we guaruntee no important preseason injuries

Yeah and mix in that Nick Scott appeared to leave a lot to be desired against Atlanta and I am a little concerned.

I feel like Nick and Dax will be good. I actually like Scott a lot.

Those backup corners on the other hand…..wow

I think Browning secured the second spot. I have to go back and watch the Oline. RJ3 and Davis, and the fighting Pekos have all made cases for spots on the dline. Serious ones.

Wide receiver room is promising, and I see why they hid Saylors. Hudson made a strong case.

And it’s not just about injuries it’s about the toll on their bodies and 17 plus 4 more games. Karras was effusive in his praise of Zac in that regard as is Orlando.

I'm so ticked about this game. My local market is the Commanders. 112 miles from my front door to the stadium. Every Commanders game is available locally, except that one for some reason. Okay, so I couldn't watch it live. At least NFLN replays the games, right? Apparently we had a nasty storm overnight when the game was replayed. I started my recording a short time ago to see one play, then fast forward through 3 hours of blurred out screen. Next showing is not until Wednesday, at which point the final cuts are already behind us. Me Angry!!!
