    Ok, so what are you looking for? Not much from the 1's. But for me, Grant, Drake and Carroo

    Agree with Grant and Drake. I also want to see how McMillan and Harris look.

    Yeah I should have mentioned them too. I guess the entire draft class in 17. Will Timmons play? He has been barely mentioned this camp

    I am seriously looking to see the back up DL and DBs. I think there is serious competition at DB for roster spots. I think the DL is a matter of do we have the right guys on the roster or do we need to go out and get different players!

    Pretty much. I am looking to see if any 3rd or 4th string players look good enough to move to 2nd string.

    It is the first preseason game. I do not understand why people, especially sports writers put any weight on how first stringers play in the first preseason game.

    This is the game to look for, "Does Jakeem Grant run better routes? Is Drew Morgan good in live play against lower NFL talent? Does any of the rookie free agents look well with actual time to shine? Did Doughty improve enough to push Matt Moore as back up or worth keeping to develop period?"

    The first preseason game, for the most part, is pretty meaningless.

    Do we know if Cutler is playing at all tonight? I haven't seen anything, one way or the other.

    Doughty.

    Grant looked good running the ball, not so much catching or route running.

    I want to see if backups have any fight in them.

    Well, we only have two quarterbacks, so I'm guessing Moore will play the first half. Pretty sure Cutler isn't playing. That's the biggest thing I'm looking for- how sharp Moore looks with all our receivers.

    Other than that, I want to see how the defense responds with most of our key pieces back in place.

    By the way, the preseason games are an all-time high $99 for our four games on NFL GamePass this season, but they also include a 7-day free trial. So you can watch any one week of preseason games for free and cancel right after watching them. Or if you're the shady type, you can make a new account each week, use four different trials, and watch the entire pre-season for free.

    Not that I'd do that, of course...because we all know how badly the NFL needs our hard-earned money.

    hes like cordarelle Patterson, we know what he can do when the ball is in his hands, what we don't know is, are his hands good enough to earn a real roster spot. Reports have been somewhat encouraging.

    Agreed with gruden on Harris, he was strictly a pass rusher coming out of college..not sure someone can figure it out this quick..reports from camp were encouraging but I remain a bit skeptical..it's important that he becomes a good player.

    Remember after last year's first preseason game

    Grant looked like a dangerous wide receiver
    Doughty looked so good that Miami was not going to be able to stash him on practice squad
    Julius Warmsly looked like a star in the making.

    Yes, it is exciting that football is back, and I am not trying to diminish any enjoyment of the game. Just remember to watch this game for mostly enjoyment and to see if you might be hopeful for a player.

    He first flew into town on monday morning and participated in one practice since arriving. He will not be playing. His playing status for preseason game 2 is questionable as well.

    Gamepass includes game replays too, and all-22! Seems like NFLN is coupling some shows with it too. It's a fair price, you just can't watch the games until Monday. I plan on getting it in the near future. You can gleam a ton of things on a rewatch. I have to see it live though, so I pitch in to get the Ticket each year unfortunately.

    Waiting for the day where you can pay like $200 and get both worlds. I think the NFL might stand to profit more that way.

    Much agreed.

    Other than that, I'm mostly excited to see some of our newly drafted defensive players in action: Davon Godchaux, Raekwon McMillan, Cordrea Tankersley, and Charles Harris.

    Could it be a worse start? TO before the first play. Two sucky runs, a poor screen, very crappy coverage on the punt and now it looks like Raekwon is hurt...and possibly injured. OUCH!

    LOL...I know its preseason. I know it doesnt count. But this is abuse. They have destroyed us through the first drives. Us, 3-out. And it wasn't even close. Them...right down the field. Yikes. Good that it doesn't count. We have ALOT to work on.

    Charles Harris explosion off the ball is really impressive. This dude has some serious speed off the edge.

    Loving it.

    i thought Kippy Brown was cut loose? Run 1st down, run 2nd down. Finally on TD drive they let Doughty throw.
