Pugger Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I won't be able to see this one live tonite. I hope the NFL Network replays it at a later date/time. I'm no too concerned about the final score. I want the starters to play well and nobody gets hurt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brat&Beer Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Looks like Love and the starters will play except for Bakhtiari.#3 RB spot still open. Emanuel Wilson made a big splash last week but has to show he can handle special teams and pass pro. Patrick Taylor is old reliable.#6 WR spot (if there is one) likely between Melton and Heath. Melton has been getting more special teams snaps but Heath has done a lot of good things. DuBose has been coming on.Packers have 6 OL spots locked up. Rasheed Walker probably a good bet. So you have Rhyan, Newman, Hanson, Caleb Jones (injured), Telfort, Schneider and Tenuta (injured) probably fighting for 2 spots.Austin Allen has a shot at showing he can be the #4 TE. Special teams probably the key.At QB I expect we'll see more of McGough than we saw last week.On DL Jonathan Ford has been making a strong push for #6 DL spot (if there is one).With Campbell out, McDuffie should get a lot of playing time. Carpenter and Eric Wilson probably battling for #4 spot.At EDGE Justin Hollins and Brenton Cox may be battling for 1 spot.Safety still wide open opposite Savage. Anthony Johnson has been coming on.At CB, Carrington Valentine continues to be the talk of camp. Innis Gaines and Shemar Jean-Charles may be competing for backup nickel spot.Anders Carlson will calm a lot of fans nerves if he kicks well tonight. Daniel Whelan needs a huge game if he is to beat out O'Donnell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLcheesehead12 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Yeah, I had to figure the starters have to get at least 1 Q of play and a little more. This one won't count but you want them to be in somewhat of game on mode so that they're ready for week 1, and as you likely wouldn't use the final preseason game next week for that, this would have to be it. Bigger question is how much of the Pats players will be going and for how long. Would be curious to see if Clifford and the guys going in with him get to face the 1s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ford looks like he did against the Bengals, he makes the team, IMO. Cox vs Hollins is a tough one for me. I would bet that Hollins is a better player in 2023. I have almost no doubt about that. But Cox probably gets to the Enagbare level by next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to watch for tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
