We already know what TC brings. He's either good enough to continue as the #2 or he really has no place on this team. So I'm not worried about playing him.

I don't really see the need of giving Chase more time against better competition. I don't think right now the question with Chase is can he be the #2 QB. I think, at best, he's the #3 this year. And that's not a bad thing, the #3 guy is usually a guy you think can actually be a starter in 2-3 years. But let's not rush him into even being the #2 quite yet

Colt, on the other hand, is a guy who was expected to challenge for the #2 spot. So let's see if he can.

Do you really think playing Chase or Colt in this game is going to do us any good? I'm getting the two guys that are going to play this year all of the work.

I don't know that TC really needs any more work though. Plus let's see some more of what Colt and Chase can do, because if Campbell isn't here next year it won't be because of Collins. But it might be because of Chase or Colt

Let them play until they can atleast score a TD and like someone else said have JC drop back to pass 90% of the plays and tell him not to worried about int's but getting the ball out to some who is past the line of scrimage.

I'd like to see Chase get some more time.

2nd off the bench is Colt because I feel he is now in a fight to stay on the team.

You have to split the time between the kickers.

Futurewise, this is probably the best case scenario. I don't think anyone in the organization is ready to write Colt off just yet and Daniel needs to prove he can do it again.

I agree, CB had a nice drive until the pick. but it was 3rd down and he just watched Chase score 2 tds. after seeing that do you think he wanted to settle for 3 even though thats what he should have done and thrown it away? the play wasnt there and he tried to force it. It would be like if this week TC comes out with the starters first and leads the team to 2 scores and has a nice half. you think JC wouldnt come in with more of a sense of urgency? he would do anything he could to get a score---not saying scenerio that will happen ---
These guys know it is a competition where the loser goes home, they will find themselves in a position where they know they may have to take a chance to outdo the other.

2. Daniel is the first off the bench. I think based on last week's performance he deserves another extended look. Let him play most of the third and let Colt play the 4th. Collins has the #2 locked up, let him sit.

3. See above

4. Just keep alternating kicks

Matty read my mind.

One thing I thought was pretty interesting was Zorn's reaction. Zorn is pretty candid about what he thinks, so you have to assume there are no motivational tools in play necessarily when he speaks of his players.

Zorn was pretty quick last summer to temper all the excitement about Colt, talking about his mechanics were ugly and he has to show better discipline. He seemed to have nothing but praise for Chase on Saturday, touting his poise, and mechanics

I'd also like to see a lot more of Jarmon, Wilson and Jackson. Sorry guys, I know I'm probably in the minority but I just don't think Wynn, Daniels and even Carter are any good. I want to see some of the younger guys get a look.

Really? I mean I think Wynn won't make this team, but Daniels brings a lot to the table as a run-stopping DE, though it wouldn't surprise me if the season ends with Jarmon starting over him, and I think Carter can have career highs in sacks (so I guess that's like 15?) with AH and Griffin in the middle. I think either Wilson or Jackson gets a roster spot, not sure both will.

4. How would you manage the kicker battle?

1. First half or three successful drives.

2. Chase, I want to get a better look.

3. Brennan, if he struggles he may be the one headed to the practice squad.

4. Alternate kick-offs and FG/XPs

The 1st half at least or until the Pats pull their 1st defense.

Danny Smiths call.

Well, if I understood right Zorn said today that Collins will be the #2. That he expected Colt to battle for that spot but Collins isn't giving it up.

So it really does look like Colt is battling to stay on the team. Crazy. Would've never imagined this so soon. We should trade Colt (quick, someone work out a trade plan) for a RT.

But anyway, I have this feeling that Zorn is kind of pissed at Colt. And maybe at himself in a way. Colt was supposed to be his guy, his pet project that he drafted and was going to develop.

Colt and Golston for Tony Pashos of the Jags.

Jax is OT-rich but could use depth at QB and DT. It's a match made in heaven.

Just for the hell of it lets pass every single play this game and then next week lets run every single play.

wolfeskins · 08-24-2009, 06:37 PM

play the starters into the 3rd.
colt-he needs to redeem himself. let him do it against better competition.
chase-let him do clean up work.
pick a kicker and let him play the entire game.

last pre season game.
starters-just a couple series
collins-plenty of work
chase-the rest of the game
give the other kicker the entire game.

ChickenMonkey · 08-24-2009, 07:41 PM

Id like to see Jason play until he can lead the team to a TD, even if he has to play into the second half....
