You play the scrubs, this is what shit looks like. But this happens every year and then the fanbases of the respective teams gets critical and it really turns out to be nothing. Minnesota sat not only their starters, but some of their top backups. Nice to see Bradbury in mid-season form. The NFL forces crap like this on season tickets holders and I can't imagine watching something like this live. Once it was announced JJ wasn't starting, the stadium was what? Less than half full? Its just such bad, bad football the preseason. I love the pronouncements from some players, like Ashton Jeanty: he said 'he arrived' yesterday....had 7 carries for 33 yards. A week ago he had 3 carries for -1 yards. Arrived? lol. Oh yeah, and Jaxson Dart is the Tom Brady of the preseason, the Giants are back baby! (sarcasm). Bryce Young sucked....then was 'good'....now there's 'concerns' again, lol.

Preseason football. Yuck. And the preseason hyperbole? Barf.

I actually like watching the scrubs play in the pre-season. Looking for signs of diamonds in the rough so to speak. Some of them played OK. For example, I saw Scott pick up a blitz which I find positive in his roster battle with Chandler. Scott has great vision, hands and will probably make the roster if he can block in the passing game.
There was also some good defensive tackle play at times.
But by and large, the scrubs did not play well and got their butts kicked.

Hopefully the coaches got some clarity from yesterday...

Honestly didnt watch more than 28 minutes of that game. It's not a part of the game that captures my attention. I get some fans love it - especially draftniks.

For me? Let the coaches determine the depth.

Kobe King showed a lot of promise yesterday, especially encouraged by his coverage downfield as that was the knock against him. Really like Felton, good hands and seems like a tough physical WR, he looks bigger than what his weight is listed. The other WRs did not step up, both Jackson and Price with drops. I don't think we can depend on on Nailor staying healthy, so think WR is a position where we definitely will pick someone else up. Williams looks good on the DL.

Up until 2019, the only preseason game to watch was the first half of the 3rd game because all the starters, on both sides, played.

In 2025 the starters don't play together, if at all.

the joint team practices is where the starters play together.

Player tea leaf reading has gotten more difficult
