Given the anticipated blowouts by the Jags this season, Mac Jones may get more playing time than Trevor.  That's exactly why I picked my Mac in Round 3 of my Fantasy Football Draft.

In that scenario, wouldn't he just be handing the ball off for a bunch of run plays?

From a coaching stand point, I’m going into the game(s) that matter with all my horses. The preseason is for getting ready for the real season and to trim your roster down to your best 53 players. 

If they get injured in week 1 vs preseason week 3, that still means that I entered the game that matters, with all my horses and I’ll take my chances from there.

Looking at it from a down the road perspective, I want my players to have 17 game legs going into the playoffs, instead of 20 game legs. 

It’s all about mileage, just like exotic cars and limiting the risk. Not to mention, these boys turn it up a notch during the regular season. The preseason is vanilla because in some cases the guys on the 90 man roster will be playing against you come week 1.

Yeah but how are your starters getting ready for the regular season by playing little if any during the preseason? And they’re not playing the equivalent of 20 games if they come in for a few quarters during the preseason.  Midseason form is a thing.  You get there faster in my opinion by playing some in the preseason.  Some guys in the league played 0 snaps in the preseason and not because they were dealing with injury.  

I think the primary reason guys are held out is because of what I said previously about the risk being greater being on the field with guys that are doing everything they can to make the 53 and get that salary guaranteed.  If the two squads or the league in general would agree to something like 1’s go against 1’s for 1 drive in preseason game 1, 2 drives in game 2 and 2 quarters in game 3, I think it would reduce that risk down the line.  We kinda did that this year except for we did 2 drives in game 1 and I know Lawrence didn’t play in game 2, but don’t recall how many other 1’s didn’t play.  The Falcons ran their 2’s out there against us in game 3 though.

It's the risk-reward equation. Preseason games count not one bit toward postseason eligibility. So if you put all your best players in trying to gain experience at the expense of injury risk, there's little reward if you are successful. Those guys get just as much experience in practices in a more controlled environment, without nearly the risk of injury (though they still occur, see: Fowler, Dante Jr. )

Coaches know who NEEDS the reps, and they play them. If the guy is getting it done on the practice field (running correct routes, in synch with snap counts, not getting caught out of position on D), there's no need to take on additional risk for the minimal gain in experience. It would be different if preseason week 3 opponent was the Phins or lolBrowns, where we might glean some added benefit that could be used in the regular season matchup, but that don't happen.

How does Trev throw for 50 tuddies this year tho if we keep putting him on the bench?

It's like they want him to fail.

That is not the Patriot way.

Hey, if Jalen is rusty, that just plays to our advantage, man.

Armstead won't be on a snap count. That's incredible to hear. They really have the advantage on both lines in this game.

Sure, you can do that and face the consequences of not getting a bid to the playoffs like FSU did last year in the final 2 games.  I'd air it out and let Mac cook !!

Also, my FFL league gives QBs 10 points for handing off a TD run so I'm good either way.

I heard Chad Johnson say he likes Brian Thomas, and he is unstoppable. Possibly up for Offensive Rookie of the Year.

I think we have the most talented roster we've had in 20 years. We should win 10-12 games.

But what will happen in the first game? I have no idea.

That's a good endorsement for BTJ there by Chad. He also got a good endorsement during the scouting and draft process from Steve Smith Sr.

Been on this kid's bandwagon since last year back in November. His highlight reel was filled with NFL TD caliber catch after NFL TD caliber catch. Size, hands, speed, footwork. It's all there.

I think folks will be pleasantly surprised by the end of this season on how good of a selection this was, in addition to trading down and picking up a pair of 3rd and 4th RD selections from a Viking's team that may struggle all year with concerns at the QB position in an already tough and talented division.

This will be my last back and forth on this who cares topic. Not trying to be rude. The starters get ready by playing a limited amount of snaps in preseason games. The rest is to see which backups will stay and which will be cut. You’re focusing on just the starters instead of the entire team which is why you don’t understand.

When he was drafted it surprised me as I was looking (read hoping) for a center. I compared him to his LSU "running mate" was Malik Nabors. I saw he was 3" taller and about 10lbs heavier. He also ran a 4.33 to Nabors 4.35. So just as fast. Both did extremely well in college, but who was the locomotive and who was the caboose. We will find out this season.

Looking more and more Like Jalen Ramsey is out against us this weekend. That’s a big missing piece for them hopefully will benefit Thomas as he might be lining up quite a bit against a rookie as well.

I don’t look at it like locomotive and caboose. 

They’re both very very good and they both benefited from having each other as teammates. If anything, Jayden Daniels is the caboose to the WRs.

I've been saying BTJ is Randy Moss 2.0.

He is going to amaze the league. Ocho Cinco knows.
