Bengals playing starters again tonight

[McKDaddy]

Playing starters in the preseason doesn’t mean a dang thing and if you think it does, your crazy!!!!

I'll take crazy then as it seemed to work for the Chiefs, Patriots, Rams, etc. over the years.

If you think practice alone prepares starters to go out & put in 4 quarters, you're crazy!!!

 

[gtb1943]

Yall are hypocrites and dumb!!!
First, You would be the first jackwad crying if the starters played and got hurt. In fact we can pull receipts out and show where you whined about starters playing last season in meaningless situations.

Second, who won the superbowl last season? Go see how many times their QB played in the preseason. In fact I’ll spare you the work. He didn’t.

You’re griping just to gripe. Playing starters in the preseason doesn’t mean a dang thing and if you think it does, your crazy!!!!

Then how come all the teams that have had more playoff success then we have play more starters in the preseason then we have?

The Bengals are playing their starters again to start out the PS game against Washington.
On ESPN now.

Jerrry you idiot. Take notice, our guys needs the reps.

Not sure what Washington is doing yet.

This is ridiculous no it's not worth it it's not worth the risk I don't care how you feel but the Bagels are the worst starting team I've ever seen as far as a good team in this league that comes out of the gate every year With a losing record. Maybe they need it maybe they know they need it but Prescott has a great September record he has a lot of really good games in the first 2 or three weeks of the season him starting 10 or 15 snaps in a preseason game after just coming off a major injury and not having his starting offensive line starting other players you'd have to start the entire offense in order to do that and now you're taking a big risk..

Don't care what other teams do Prescott just came off an injury He did the same thing in 2020 also didn't play a preseason game in 2021 and came out in 2021 at one of his best seasons with thirty 7 touchdowns and ten interceptions so let's back off the whole your stupid thing....

every team handles it differently..... There are 32 teams in this league and there's only a handful that are starting Their starters in some of these preseason games...

Most of the ones that are starting their starters are very young teams with young quarterbacks and very young players and new coaching Staffs there aren't many veterans that are starting like veteran teams with veteran coaches..

they all handle it differently.....

Schotty is trying to hide our new offensive scheme lol.

This has been the Cowboys way for a decade

This is nothing new he's not hiding anything,

this is the way they're approaching it it's for evaluations, it's more for the young players, they're trying to find role players and depth..

they don't want to risk getting any of their guys hurt especially after last year a record amount of injuries and we already have injuries going into game one we might be missing 4 players for the 1st month of the season you want to risk more this is about mitigating risk versus the reward there are no real rewards on trying to get your team ready by playing your starters for 15 snaps in a preseason game they're getting all that work in 11 and elevens and seven on sevens in close practices...


Remember when 2015 Romo was out that year because of a back injury or whatever he was hurt Then in the 2016 we rolled in with all those quarterbacks, but Romo was chomping at the bit to play in 2016, and what do you know what happened in that preseason game?

He lost his job he lost his career and here we are Prescott era had begun, because we started our quarterback the year after he missed over injury in a preseason game.

That's all I need to know and it's not just about the quarterback, I don't need any of our better players Getting injured they're already risking themselves in practice....

Bengals run defense looks worse than Dallas.

Washington's defense didn't look great either looked like they picked up where they left off.... I really didn't see much I was watching clips and social media reactions..

Why not??????? Cinny wants to hit the ground running when the season gets underway. Unfortunately, the Cowboys are once again going to sit starters and look like rookies when the season starts. With no real depth on this team, get ready for the daily excuses.

Joe Burrough and even Chase and others said they are tired of starting the season slow. Then having to climb out of a hole.
They want to change that and knock off the rust.

They showed a graphic the last 3 years, 1-3, 1-4, 2-5 or something like that.

The team changed up their entire routine as to practices also. Focusing on getting things done right and in sync.

Don't be buying that nonsense at 15 to 20 snaps in preseason's going to change that that has been their MO, but Prescott in the Dallas Cowboys when he's healthy they've had a decent team, they've had great Septembers, it's how they finish in the playoffs, which is a long way from preseason and has nothing to do with preseason snaps... Cowboys were 12 and 5, 3 seasons in a row went to the playoffs three out of five seasons and it wasn't about the starts that hurt those seasons it was simply they didn't finish strong enough some of it was health and bad luck and just poor execution had nothing to do What had happened 4 months prior in pre-season...

You're entitled to your opinion, but there's no amount of limited stats in preseason worth the risk of getting your players hurt in meaningless game,

if they want to do it let them do it, But that don't change a damn thing, It's just the way they feel is necessary and needed..

which by the way changing your entire coaching staff and a bunch of players and I heard Jerry and some of these little clips pregame and from the Netflix thing I've been reading they changed a lot of the ways they've been doing practice and things in the front office so believe what you want to believe...

they get a new player ?because I thought his name was joe Burrow...

 

[Kevinicus]

Herbert played.

He did. He has five attempts this preseason.

Daniels actually hasn't really played either. Zero pass attempts and 1 run.

Burrow is the outlier, Prescott is the norm.

 

[DandyDon52]

Oh wow, the best QB in the NFCE is playing a preseason game.

It really is stupid though.
They are not playing 1st string defenses. They are not using same playbook,as reg season, and they dont game plan the same.

1st string players get some simplified practice and that is all.
PS is for the other guys.

Burrow is the outlier, Prescott is the norm.

But they took live snaps against fresh defenses without the protection of a red jersey.

I'm not saying it's the ultimate preparation but it's better than nothing.

Correct there's no real upside There's only a lot of downside in risk they're already taking a risk practicing and doing 7 on sevens 11 on elevens it only takes a odd step here or there for some of these major injuries to happen look at Slater Gardner there's like 12 guys I know their names I just can't remember that already got hurt in practice or preseason... Then they have to stop a game and they didn't finish the last five minutes of a preseason game and a guy had to be rushed off to the hospital and they just ended the game That's how little it means nothing they didn't even finish the game...

Prescott's in this team is used to this this is what they've been doing from day one and he has a great September record he usually has pretty solid games The start the season.

Understand they need the reps and that that is what all these Otas mini camps training camp all the stuff they've done on the side the stuff they're doing in closed practices nobody's seen This is not the old NFL that's why there's no longer five preseason games and soon there probably be only two....

Some ppl think it's stupid to sit a QB who missed the majority of last season injured. I'm going to go with Dan Quinn over whatever the Cowboys are doing right now.

Hasn't Cincy stumbled out of gate like every year since the got Burrow? Playing their starters doesn't really seem to be working out all that well for them..

2024 started 0-3 won one and lost the next to go 1-4
2023 started 0-2 won one, lost one, won one to go 2-3
2022 started 0-2 won two then lost two then lost one to go 2-3.

By my count that's 5-10 overall in the first 5 games.

So the last three seasons they have started 0-2 and have not had a winning record until week 7 in any of them.

Meanwhile the hapless Cowboys

2024 won the opener, lost the next two then won the next two to go 3-2
2023 started 2-0 then lost one, won one, lost one to go 3-2
2022 start 0-1 then won four in a row to go to 4-1

By my count that's 10-5 overall in the first 5 games.

We sure we want to be emulating Cincy in this regard? Maybe we should find a better example.

 

[gtb1943]

Love the fools that say the way the Cowboys do it is the right way

show me the real success of this?

Besides boasting about participation trophies which is all 12 win seasons mean

This is why they want to play, to avoid those poor starts. To where before they did not play or only a few snaps.

I did not say Cowboys want to emulate them.
But some snaps do help.

I guess you did not understand my posts.
