I think Roberts played so little because he's a lock or at least going to be traded.

Watching replay on NFL Net, Stidham got sacked over and over, was almost picked a few times, looked tentative, got spooked and overthrew, fumbled once (could have on another play). The Jarrett ball washers are funny thinking this kid is ready to be a #2. Hilarious.

I was gone for 2 weeks and just binge watched most of the preseason games today so I have no clue what the consensus on the board is but to me he continues to look like someone who has the potential to be a good QB with a bit of time to mature.

There is just no way I'd trust him over Hoyer this year. It is still a big jump he made from some of the college tape I saw after we drafted him. So if he continues on this trajectory Hoyer will be gone after this season.

What are we all thinking about #94 Kamalu? I didn't have him on my 53 before this game and I probably wouldn't put him on just because of one game, but I was more surprised about how he was standing up most of the time before the snap. That's a guy who's 6'6", almost 300 pounds (although he could have lost some weight) at the rush OLB position. You'd think he would play DE in a look like that but it seemed to be working (against scrubs).

I think they will try to smuggle him onto the practice squad but he will be picked up by one of the Pats franchises (Texans and Titans saw him in joint practices, MattyP might also be in play).

He has really intriguing measurables but can't quite put it together.. at least yet.

He was actually on the Texans as recently as 2017. Not sure if that makes him more or less likely to be claimed there.

Good point. I forgot about that. That being said someone will be intrigued by his physique I am sure.

“I think it was on purpose and the only reason I think it was on purpose is if you look at this play, right at the end, the kick (means) I’m trying to get more force into you than I need to,” Harrison said. “See that little kick at the end? I’m trying to drive my shoulder into you because I know it’s you. ‘I don’t recognize who has the ball,’ all that, that’s bull. I know it’s you, I see it’s you. You know what? Here’s my opportunity. What you said, I’m going to give it to you. If it wasn’t for the little kick at the end to drive your shoulder deep into his head, I would’ve said it was an accident, he didn’t mean it, he just dived in there late, even though you can already see the dude is on the ground before he even comes to get into the contact. Definitely I believe it was on purpose”

I'm not a PFF guy, as is well known. But, if you're going to cite to it with this particular tweet, you might also want to put it in the QB conundrum thread.

Makes sense, Deus. Thanks!

Shadow roster if available.

I don't know if these numbers are saying Mr. Stidham is playing better then anybody else in pre-season...but for sure they are not saying worse...

Preseason...

2019 (3 games)

That Tom guy is the worsts of the bunch. I say cut him.

I hope Roberts stays. His hits are worth watching.

He really pops against the run.
