If I heard right from Smitty, no notable starter will be playing at all. I hope Holmes gets a lot of playing time. If he gets beat by backups, I would start to question that position big time.

Like I mentioned. I hope the 1st string OLine gets some work in.

[RYNE 6,001]

From what I understand both 1st team lines will get some work. Skill players will not play

[DonOfThemBirds 18,475]

I hope not but you never know with Smitty.

[A-TOWNnDOWN 315]

going to be a snore fest. C'mon week 1

[Clark Kent™ 4,444]

Holmes needs to be getting a ton of reps in this game.

[Dem Birds 10,574]

We historically don't play them and if we do, it's one drive.

[B_Lo_Touchdowns 4,740]

With DD and Holmes starting its gonna be an long, ugly game

Makes sense. You know what you are getting from Ryan, White, Gonzalez, Jones, and Jackson. The o-line needs as much work as possible for preparation purposes as well as to establish solid communication amongst each other. Same thing for the d-line. They young guys need experience & the older guys need to be in there to make sure communication is happening as it should be.

Me too

[T.Mays 601]

Holmes and Manley needs to start on the right side and play the whole game.

Actually, I think I might even get to play tonight. They're putting everyone in..........

Preseason week #4 is the closest the NFL gets to having minor leagues.

Any official word?

Of course, were in contention for the preseason championship.

[Adam25 906]

I'm excited to see some of the younger guys get some work, hopefully the first sting O-line gets some reps because they need it. Darius Johnson has to have a solid day so he can get that #5 WR spot.

[BadMoonRising 2,116]

if I was head coach Shraeder, Holmes and Ewing wouldn't leave the game.

[FalconFanForLife 2,097]

We historically don't play them and if we do, it's one drive.

What Smitty said when asked if he was going to play the starters was something to the effect of (paraphrase here), "I won't answer that, but you can see what we have done historically in the 4th game of preseason."

The actual quote is in one of his onfield press conferences after practice. I think it was sometime after the last game if anyone wants to hear the actual conversation. As stated, we "historically" don't play them except for one drive it at all.

[Wokezone 1,077]

what about the rooks is true playing

[ya_boi_j 65,872]

They always go at least 1 series. Offensive line and Trufant may get extended work. Everyone else will be rested

[GTJeff1975 576]

Preseason week 4 = Bum Fights

I'd be surprised to see any of our first team players in this game. Why gamble on an injury? I bet it will be a battle of the second and third stringers tokeep from being axed. End result : scrubfest on both sides of the ball inluding the Jags.

[falcons007 22,473]

Give some work to OL, hold back skill players and Osi, Peters and Babs on DL. Play Trufant and Alford for few series.
