Wonder if McSorely will get most of the snaps today compared to the other QBs. Maybe Cunningham too since he didn’t take QB snaps in GB. The final preseason game is usually for the roster bubble players.

I don't think McSorely's on the bubble, but Cunningham probably is. So I'd rather see him get a lot of playing time and see if he's got anything as QB or if he's probably fine on the PS.

When there were 4 games it was a bottom of roster game. With only 3 it's been a tune-up game, now there's only 2 years of trends to follow obviously but that has been the case.

Play Malik 60 minutes at QB

I'm sure this will be an absolute thriller...

I think it is a mistake not to play the 1s at least for a quarter or a half. With the Eagles coming to town to open the season, the Oline needs as much practice as possible.

Starting offense better get some good reps tonight.

An under .500 team acting like their a top team in the AFC.

I think it's Bill's philosophy to treat Sept like it is an extension of the preseason and let the team play into form. Unfortunately given how tough our division is not to mention the conference, we could seriously be looking at 1-3 in the month of Sept.

Need to at least get the starting OL (as many who are healthy) a series or two, no matter who is at QB

With that 17th game over 18 weeks, this is a pretty good strategy. It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. We don’t want to start slow but we *really* don’t want to finish poorly. Get one of those ample playoff spots and make some noise.

They need to go 2-2 in First Four they could go 0-4 Tough Start. Don't like those early back to back road games.

Based on the practice reports from Wednesday it sounded as if McSorely didn't take one rep.

I guess dress rehearsals are for the regular season. Starting to understand the "extended preseason" a little better.

Lack of a healthy OL probably a big factor... along with BB's comments about being ahead of schedule on installation. They could value health and trust in BoB having the offense ready, over another quarter+ of preseason game starters.
