Why are the starters playing in the last preseason game? That is nuts.
not sure , maybe he wants to give wince more reps ? maybe he wants to see some snaps from his injured o/line ? maybe some of the TE's will be back ? not sure only guesses

We used to get 4 games to prepare for week 1 using game 3 as a rehearsal for starters. I think Ron should use the same approach but condense the time starters play to 1-2 series only. Lord knows both sides of the ball need it and would still allow 3+ quarters for remaining players to battle it out. This game (last of preseason) will be the result of 1-5 guys making the team/fighting for a spot as I'm certain 25 spots for starters/ST are spoken for.

What I'm really looking for in this game vs Ravens is who's depth is better, ours or yours? This is where teams separate themselves as very good to great teams have depth that can come in and spot start or fill in for injury with little to no drop off. Our two biggest areas of weakness imo would be LB & CB. I think we are fine everywhere else at the moment and hopefully when rosters cut down to 53 we are looking for one each of those players to fill our 53.

Out of 80 players left on roster, 29 need to be cut after this week. CY out 4 weeks. I'm looking at best fit at LB & CB once teams cut to 53 to add to our roster. There should be some really good players with experience available to choose from.

I would agree with this

So, 1-2 series is going to make a difference? What if someone gets hurt. I wouldn't do it. Too risky, reward is very small.

Because they've looked terrible in the first 2?

Wentz was bad in the first 2? I don't think so. Very risky putting Wentz out there in Week 3 of preseason

His comp percentage looks glossy. Coures he's averaging 6.3 yards per pass with a long gain of 18 yards. He's also led the Skins to 0 points. have the Skins even come up with a first down with him at th helm?

Yes. He has moved the ball. There is no need to play him 1-2 series. Its doesnt prove anything. One missed block could send him out for the year like Fitz last year. No need to take the risk. Bad move by RR

actually yes. The Robinson TD in the Carolina game. It doesn't matter. He got his feet wet in the offense. that is what preseason is for.
