Game Day Thread Official Preseason Game Day Thread- Pats @ Giants

[n1997y]

Wilkerson making a case for a roster spot

And now Zuber making some noise

 

[TheRainMaker]

I stand by my prediction Cam gets released and Mac is the week 1 starter.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

Let's see Cam do that with a .. Who??? Zuber???

 

[Bfanlc]

He'll yeah

 

[RobertWeathers]

Mac's 1st TD!

 

[Run DMC]

Say hello to your new QB by mid season! TD!!!!

 

[BobDigital]

They need to find a way to make Taylor active for game days. The guy is just too explosive.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Amazing. 2s vs 2s and Mac looks great again. Imagine if he got to play with the 1s?

 

[scott99]

Mac looked excellent in that drive. Shows what can happen when you’re on equal footing. 2’s vs 2’s instead of 2’s vs 1’s.

NFL will retain modified IR rules, allowing unlimited players to return

The NFL made official what had been anticipated: It will retain the modified injured reserve rules from last season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports.

Shouldn’t have taken this long to do. Still have to be under the salary cap. Seems like a win for all.

 

[Jim Beankie]

YEAH BABY!!

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Shoot forgot about that. Does he go on waivers if he isn’t on the 53?

yup, but you can’t cut him if he is injured, not without an injury settlement

 

[ashley]

Great throw and catch to Zuber...would have liked to see Mac against the 1's more....I like what I see though

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Definitely IR him because this year, you have an unlimited number of players who can return from IR. So I wouldn't be surprised if BB put a dozen players on IR.

Issue is they have to be on the initial 53 to be eligible for unlimited return. So need to be willing to risk losing some other guys on waivers in order to do this.

Exactly! It’s unfair to the rookie. Even scam would look terrible.

 

[PP2]

C Am can’t make that throw

Wouldn't have read that leverage as fast as Jones did. CB on outside leverage, hit him on the inside, beat the slot.

 

[Ring 6]

Nice drive.

 

[Bfanlc]

Scam looks bad with the 1s

There was never a legit competition for the week 1 starter. The thought of Cam being our starter again this year is giving me acute dysthymia.

Has he looked better this preseason than last year? Yes.

Do I have confidence that against more complex regular season defensive schemes during the regular season that he will be able to make the pre-snap reads/adjustments and have the confidence/ability to go through his progressions and maintain consistent accuracy? Absof*ckinlutely not.

I fully expect him to make my blood pressure go up with frequent “What the f*ck was that?!” plays and I’m terrified that he is going to cause another COVID sh*t show with his refusal to get vaccinated. He still refuses to wear his mask/neck gator properly. Every time I see him on the sidelines with it sitting below his nose (which is 90% of the time) I want to go through the TV and smack him.

 

[Froob]

Nice throw by Mac.
