I am bummed that Carson Wentz got hurt, that would have been the thing worth watching preseason for. Now, I guess it's just a way to see how bad our O-line depth is and whether Bradford even makes it to opening day.

Week 3 is when I'll really pay attention...but I'm interested in the play of some young guys.

PIT...Sean Davis should get quite a few reps again in slot, and Travis Feeney who I don't think played last week, great athlete, but needs about 20lbs to play outside LB...hope they can find a spot for him on ST for now.

ATL...Keanu Neal makes his pro debut tonight...the young LBs Deion Jones, and Devandre Campbell...lot of camp chatter about Campbell...I missed them last week.

I usually pay attention to week 2 and week 3. A lot of teams give their players more time this week. We will see some teams keep their 1's out there for a quarter or so.

Yeah, depends on the team I suppose. Ben didn't play last week and I'm not sure he'll play more than a series or two this week.

Ryan didn't look great last week I heard so maybe he'll get a Qtr.

Yeah I think most of the teams with top QBs may play them a series or two but other teams with avg QBs or a struggling offense may give them a quarter especially if they look like shit

I think the NFCS will be tighter than most of the talking heads think. CAR is going to win it, but I don't expect them to be a 13-14 win team this year. ATL is either going to be much better..say 10 wins, or slightly better, 9 wins...the difference is I think they will be better in DIV than LY....all depends on Matt Ryan, but so far, it hasn't been all that pretty I'm hearing.

TB...they have the potential to win 9 games...and I put NO in the same boat with TB, but if they can find some DEF...who knows...they could be a 10 win team.

How long is he out for?

Well honestly there might not be a team that the Preseason means more to than the Broncos. They still have not decided on the QB position so these next 2 games pretty much determine the winner of the job.

Beyond that just hoping to see the OL gel a little more this week and see some of the young guys on the defensive side of the ball mostly. They keep showing glimpses of great promise so want to see that continue.

I'd like to see the Chiefs be more aggressive with their DB's (they aren't Off-man CB's, just aren't) and show more man-press; not a tackling exercise. Also would like to see more throws to the WR's. Conley looks great in camp- I want to see an actual throw where the WR is the #1 read-happened 0 times with the 1's last time.

Agree. Interested to see how the Saints 1st team defense look this week. They were solid last week. If they can be middle of the pack or so then there is no reason why this can't be a 9 or 10 win team.
