Either way..I bet we don't see Brissett for more than 2 series max.
They plan to keep him and won't risk injury to an insurance salesman trying to make an Al Bundy highlight he can brag about for the next twenty years.
It's the Clayton Tune show today.

Expect ugly football Cardinals fans.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....... i never stopped

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

maybe we should put some respect on this game - probably the most important game of a lot of these guy's lives - decides whether they football on sundays - on the practice squad or if they football at all - im still gonna get my beers on of course

The probem is these typically quickly develop into 3rd string vs. 3rd string. This makes it hard to determine who can play against real players.

 

[BritCard]

I don't get it. Why play starters in game 1 and then not again?

I can find a case for the Denver game, having the joint practices as a substitute, but why just 2 series in game 1? On one of which Kyler threw a interception.

Baffling. Two series isn't achieving anything other than a higher injury risk exposure. Do it properly, as the Chiefs have done, or not at all.

 

[PJ1]

If Tune starts I won’t be watching for long. How would you like to be a WR on the bubble depending on Tune to get you the ball? Ugh…

If they make the decision to play starters at all I actually like it being early in the preseason rather than late because there’s more time for injury recovery and more time for the guys on the bubble to play closer to the cut decisions.

Give them a half then. But you can't run a team worried about injuries. The Chiefs play starters in every game and have been the best in the league for years.

I'd argue injuries are more likely to happen in the season to players not used to full go competitive ball.

Our first 5 games are all winnable. We could start the season 5-0 if we are up to speed and we should be preparing for that.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

there's some desperate ass players - both sides of the ball both teams everybody playing for a job tonight - i don't want anything of our players that we're counting on to mix it up with these last interviewees trying to make content season

 

[Dr. Jones]

If Clayton Tune makes a third season of NFL money on the full roster it would only confirm my suspicions that he is the proud owner of the Bidwill pee tape.

What about the Eagles or Rams they haven’t done it at all?

 

[DVontel]

I think preseason play is just a little bit overrated when it comes to us because it’s not like we have started off awful(at least offensively) since Kyler’s tenure outside of maybe a season. The problem has been the lack of good play @ the back half of the season.

 

[Harry]

I think we’re quickly getting to two preseason games and an 18 game schedule.

 

[BritCard]

What about the Eagles or Rams they haven’t done it at all?

Then don't do it at all. How many teams have just played starters for 2 series? I'd wager none. Certainly no good ones.

Right?
By the end of Q1 it's just guys fighting for a PS spot and auditioning for other teams.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Please let this be the case.

A four game preseason schedule has way, way, way outlived it's usefulness.

 

[DVontel]

Then don't do it at all. How many teams have just played starters for 2 series? I'd wager none. Certainly no good ones.

I’m not understanding why it has to be one extreme or the other. Is two series not more achieving than none?

They did get a half in the first preseason game. Case in point, Tomlinson got hurt and he has two extra weeks to recover because of where they sequenced that playing time for the starters in the first game versus the last.

Playing an extra quarter or two of vanilla scheme will not give your team some massive advantage going into the regular season or else all teams would do it.

Game speed timing.
That's the biggest advantage IMO.
Lack of said timing has shown up for us in the past in the first few weeks of the season.

Exactly which preseason game is irrelevant. But the opponent matters. A starting corner will play the boundary harder than a third stringer....with Denver we got that work in during 11 on 11 the day before the game.
Having gained those reps against two good teams with strong defenses should help our offense get out of the gate faster.

Cardinals battle for RB3 will be decided in preseason finale VS. Raiders

GLENDALE – With tonight’s preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Arizona Cardinals are left with plenty tough decisions on making roster cuts.

Great so sounds like we’re covered since we have done both of the things you mentioned!
