98.5: Starters to Play The First Half

[QB12]

Gary Tanguay just said that he's "hearing" that the starters from both teams are going to play the entire first half.

I trust BB to adjust his "depth chart" accordingly.....TFB's shoulder has been acting up lately....

Just in: Brian Hoyer wins position battle!

every time the starters play in preseason..i am always worried about injuries. Never enjoy it....This mean they won't be playing alot in the 3rd game?

Reiss says Ravens have 2 personnel guys at game. Who might they be looking at?

I would like to seee both Hoyer and Mallet get reps against the Eagles first teamers.

DeMarco Ryans said the Eagles were installing a gameplan for this game.

I would like the first team D match up aginst the Eagle starters and start the first serios of the 2nd half (practice making halftime adjustments to get ready for reg season)

This will take the place of the 3rd PS game since we don't have the time for a full dress rehearsal fro TB of the Giants due to the compression of the schedule.

As expected. #PPGS @MikeGiardi: No Brady tonight. Also appears no Gronk, Mayo or Lloyd. #PatriotsNation

Pre-game radio show is utter garbage. Two guys with absolutely no clue

 

[patfanken]

This makes sense. Reid and BB are good friends. It didn't make sense for Reid to play his starters into the 3rd quarter and we don't. It wouldn't be a good teaching or evaluation period for either team. Its much more likely that they would mutually agree to play our best against there best for a similar time frame.

Also better for us as viewers

Wilfork not expected to play

Andy Hart says he has confirmed no Brady, Gronk, Lloyd or Mayo as tweeted by Mike Giardi - who is adding no Wilfork, apparently.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Put Alexa Flutie in at Linebacker for all I care...just sit Mayo and Spikes

Albert Breer?@AlbertBreer

Our desk at NFL Network reports that word from Foxboro is Brady, Mayo, Lloyd, Hernandez, Welker and Gronkowski won't play tonight.

Some kind mod should change this thread title to Few Starters to Play

 

[Deus Irae]

98.5 adds Welker and Hernandez to the "Will not play" list.

I'm liking this more and more.

 

[Deus Irae]

Let's see them add Mankins to the list, please....

So, in summary, the "starters" are going to play. Works for me.
