August 19, 20213 yr Thanks @EagleJoe8. I've unlocked so people can get started talking about this exciting preseason game! How much Jalen Hurts will we see tonight?
August 19, 20213 yr How long will starters play for tonight? I think Hurts needs more time with the starters

But they may get a couple next week too. But usually in the penultimate preseason game they'd get a fair bit more wouldn't they?
August 19, 20213 yr This is basically week 3 of the preseason. Hope to see the starters for an extended period.
August 19, 20213 yr Per John Clark, expect to see Devonta Smith get "a few plays" tonight Not sure what that means for the playing time for the rest of the starters. It could just be them easing him back in after the injury. Also the full starting O-line is expected to play tonight
August 19, 20213 yr Whatever happens I don’t want to see Hurts out there with a bunch of backup players. Hopefully the ones can get a few good drives in and get off the field. 1 minute ago, metal said: Get ready for an ugly one Going for it every time. DP all over again.

Surely we have a backup kicker? I don't know who it is though. A few years ago it was Mychal Kendricks but obviously he isn't here.

It’s a preseason game anyways. I’d rather see them just go for it. Put some pressure on the offense and defense in some simulated action. Go for two every time.

August 19, 20213 yr 1 minute ago, metal said: Some defensive starters/key players out Was being reported on 94.1 (McManus, Eskin, etc) that Hurts is likely to only play a series. So goes beyond defense.

Well that sucks Nick constantly talks about practice constantly. You'd think he would want to take advantage of preseason games for the young starters We may end up starting week 1 very rusty

August 19, 20213 yr I remember Kamu Grugier Hill coming in to do a good kickoff against the cowboys years ago
August 19, 20213 yr Do people still bet on pre-season games? Will Sanders get reps in this game or are they saving him for the regular season? EDIT: well that got answered after the first snap.
