They are sitting some completely healthy players. We just gonna sit them all preseason? Not sure I can agree with that.
No but I think you'll probably only see them in a couple of preseason games. I'm not really happy about Smith and Witten not playing though. If you're going to put Romo out there you sure as shit should have those two on the field. One guy protects his blind side and the other is the guy he is the most comfortable throwing to when there is pressure.

I hope he looks great. Just to see some of the people on this board squirm.
So hold on, Gus Johnson doing great would make someone squirm?

Anyone who says hey have seen him play beyond his Youtube highlights is a fricking liar.

If he does well, cool. If not, well, he's the same as the other training camp phenom RBs who could not play.

The only players I mentioned were Hayden, Witten and Smith. You people are going to start paying attention or someone is getting benched and the season hasn't even started!!!

Yeah, the people who want us to sign a vet would be very uncomfortable with it because it would basically seal the fact that we won't sign someone. I'm talking about the people who keep a close eye on Chris Johnson on a daily basis.

I've seen him play but only during our training camp. He looked good but those practices aren't the same as games.

I only mentioned Smith, Witten, and Hayden, so yeah...
Beyond Hayden, I don't get the problem.

Smith and Witten? We need to play them? Witten goes down it is Escobust. Smith, that means Weems at the moment.

So yeah, sitting them is not an issue.

I know you mentioned them...

I was simply saying I don't care if they sit them the first game but it's straight retarded to do if Romo is playing.

Because most healthy starters play the first preseason game. At least for the first series. Plus, I'm staying up late for this shit and want to see as many starters as possible, so kiss my ass.

Again, more bullshit. If the kid does well, excellent. He's cheap and we don't have to sign a vet and pay them.

Who is going to be upset if he plays well? If he does, it partially validates the team not getting a vet.

Bottomline, the vet thing is probably off no matter what until after the first game unless someone was lost for the season.

So you are being a bitch because you can't see a few players.

Okay.

Is it just me or does every ball Garapalo throws look like a wounded duck.

I am not so much concerned about playing the starters now because the idea of preseason is to see what the depth can do. I do want to see the starters start to crank it up no later than the third game. That is what will get them ready for the opener.

Go eff yourself.

It's too early in the season for us to have a gameday thread dustup, so maybe you should sit this one out so you don't get hurt.

So 1 series means that much?

You can get more watching practice reps on DC.com.

I'm being purposely overdramatic for the the most part, but we need as much work with the starters playing as we can get.

We did some of the same stuff last year which is probably a big part of why we didn't win a single preseason game. Garrett has shown he couldn't give two shits about preseason.

Garappolo looks like shit. If that 4 game suspension holds up, it's going to be a long 4 game stretch for them.
