Quote:I think that this week's game against the Bengals will be a much better measuring stick of where were at.  They have been a great team for awhile now, and have been picked by many to be a super bowl contender this year.  Also Gus said after the Tampa game that our starters are going to get a ton of play in the 3rd game.  I could see them getting a couple of series in the 3rd quarter.  I also have a feeling we will see the debut of Beachum, so it'll be interesting to see where he's at.  Just one more game to get through with no injuries before resting all of the starters until the regular, so everyone say your prayers and cross your fingers.  Go Jags!

It's the pre-season; it's not supposed to be used as a measuring stick for our actual capabilities. It's only real purpose is to get the starters some reps and then get them out of there before they get hurt and to evaluate lower tier talent. Yes, in the third pre-season game the starters do play longer, but it still isn't a legitimate scenario to compare one team to another.

 

The regular season will be starting soon...then we'll see.
