Palmer and Fitz won't play in HOF Game

[Screw The Hall]

I guess I am in the minority, but I love these games where you really don't have to worry about injuries to front line personnel but could see a surprise challenge for the 53.

 

[CF74]

Starters likely get 1-2 series is my guess, maybe even the 1st quarter...

 

[windward]

Aren't Swaim and Looney limited in practice right now? I know that doesn't mean they won't play in the first PS game... but they may not.

Yeah, it's possible they aren't ready. So, Rico and ?

Palmer will be ineffective as it is come November, no possible way he can play in a meaningless August game.

In fact, if the Cardinals want him at his best at the end of the season, they should have him sit out until mid-November.

Anyone with any injury issues at all won't play. Primary starters likely won't play. Frankly why should they? Its something that's unlikely to be up to the quality of an NFL field in an extra preseason game, because the owners refuse to give up any revenue. I don't put Dak/Zeke/the big 3 OLine, the top 3 WR, TE1, Lee, most of the older members of the dline, and probably byron jones out there at all. I probably wouldn't make DMC active either. Kellen Moore I suspect will get a couple of series, maybe more if the offense doesn't work at all. Rico could get a lot of snaps in this one. I supsect most of the rookie DB's will get at least a couple of series, might have to be more due to the numbers.

The interesting thing, to me, will be to see how they employ the guys who will be suspended to start the year in the 2nd to 5th games. I expect their snaps to go way up and potentially well into the second half.

Sadly this is what a lot of the pre-season is about. Owners get to pocket the revenue from the two pre-season home games and not share with fellow owners. Usually season ticket holders are forced to buy tickets for these games. Basically extortion.

Hey now Jerry needs that money!!!

I think all starters should play 1 series.
I think our new guys that will be starting later on should play 1 quarter.
These games are good chances to practice.
Players can get hurt anytime.
Lee blew his knee in TC Kellen broke his ankle so should they skip TC this year?
Player's need to play to get ready for the real games.
I would like to see starters do one or two
Possession's.
If they do good on first one then stop.
If bad then do one more.

Preseason games were great 30-40 years ago, when all but a handful of players were playing for a roster spot. Ceased to be useful when coaches stopped using them to determine who starts and c.50 spots on the roster were more or less settled before training camp started.

You are correct, but don't forget the games are where most of the injuries happen. And this is a 5th preseason game which means any risk you take at all is something no one else has to do. The reward just doesn't compare to the risk.

About as much as he needs another liver spot.

Tell me about it?,,,it was probably back in 71 or 72,73? I'd bet my father on a cowboy ,Commanders preseason game (He must've been ahead of the curve, knowing who was going to play and who wasn't) because we 'bet' guns on it,my bolt action .410 and he put up a .22 pump Stevens,,, all I knew was I was gonna double my collection at ten years old with a DALLAS win!,,,, well,it wasn't in the cards that day for me,,,he was LHAO while I was handing my little shotgun over too him,,, sniveling with tears in my eyes,,,I had to ask to barrow his shotgun if I wanted to go hunting after that for a couple years till I got a 12ga for Christmas
(After he passed on in 05, I left that .410 still in the rack cuz' that just felt like the thing to do,as thats where it's been living all that time, now with mom gone guess I'll reclaim it

 

[Proximo]

The majority of snaps will be played by players who either don't make the team or end up buried on the depth chart......at least that's how I recall the last HOF game we played in.

 

[ALBIT]

Saw on Instagram they're skipping. Who skips that game for Dallas?

Dez
Zeke
Tyron
Lee
Wit

I believe Dak plays a series or 2.

Every starter. Lol. Screw that extra game.
