Re: McNabb out for the Jets
I just checked the weather and the sky is NOT falling.. Sure, it would be nice if D-Mac was playing in this game but it's preseason and therefore meaningless and since (as some have said) he's always hurt it's good to get Rex some time with the starters. Nudge me in September.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
I think McNabb being out makes this preseason game a little more interesting from the evaluating standpoint. Is Armstrong that good or does he just have a special chemistry with McNabb? Will Jets bring the house more often then they normally do forcing our WR's to get separation and make plays one-on-one with McNabb being out? If so, how do the young RB's do in pass protection? How will the OL pass protection be without McNabb's playaction threat being there?

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
Having McNabb sit out the Jet game may be a blessing in disguise. There is no need to get McNabb banged up against the Jets pressure defense. We know what he is capable of. This will be a good test for the offensive line, running backs and receivers. With Rex Grossman we will find out how well the offensive line is really playing. I'm more concerned about the loss of Kareem Moore. He is the only true free safety on the roster. Doughty and Horton are nice short term replacements but I thought Landry and Moore was something special.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
Doughty will start at FS and he and Horton will trade the role

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
Shanahan says slim chance that McNabb plays vs ARI

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
Dang....
I was one of the ones who was worried about McNabb's injury history when we first traded for him. But i think him getting injured in preseason is a good thing. I honestly dont think he will play in every game this year, so giving Grossman reps with the frist teamers in preseason is important. Also I bet this puts a little more pressure on Trent Williams to work even harder and prove he can protect McNabb and be relied on.

Why would it be a good thing? You could look at it from both angles. Yeah, better he gets injured now than in the regular season is your line of thought. Thing is if he got hurt in a preseason game, what makes you think he won't get hurt often in the regular season, when the games count for something? |

Yeah what i wrote made it sound like its a overall positive, which i definitely dont really think. Id rather him be in there to play because he and the receivers definitely need it. I guess what i mean is that there are some positives to it. Im hoping McNabb makes it through the season i just think odds are against it, so Grossman getting some reps now could be positive. Also i didnt realize Shanahan doesnt normally play his starting QB in the last preseason game. So i guess Rex would have gotten additional work anyways, but if McNabb isnt able to make it through a season the more reps the better.
