They could certainly use the help at that position.

Did my first fantasy draft today. Not super in love with my team. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Jennings is better suited in a coverage 2 defense... darby never had safety help in the preseason..not sure if ryan did that scheme on purpose to test the rookie by fire or not..sure in the regular season he wont be in "darby island"

EJ isn't in the conversation. Great game and all, you don't go from running the scout team to 1st string. TT is the obvious choice

the media has been pushing hard for taylor...they've been bagging on cassel and have dismissed ej...

I'm confused, though...outside of cassel you have a choice between two young quarterbacks, one has no experience as a starter and the other started 15 games under a lunkhead for a coach who's offensive coordinator was in way over his head...yet, without ever seeing taylor in a regular season game, and with his performance being a touch inferior to ej's, the 2-T bandwagon is overflowing with fans ready to anoint him as the quarterback to lead this team to the playoffs

I just don't get it

He will be on "Darby Island" -if he plays outside that is and not in a nickel or dime set-. That's Rex's MO, so he can have 9 guys all over the field with a ton of different looks, sowing chaos, and just the 2 outside CBs in man. I'm sure there'll be over the top help once in a while, but as a rule his CBs have to cover man to man. You'll have Gilmore on one side, probably McKelvin when he comes back on the other with Robey at nickel. In the meantime if Darby struggles there's always Ron Brooks and Corey Graham could move back to corner, so it's not as bad as it looks.

That makes two of us. From what I've seen in game this preseason, not practice, EJ has been better. That sideline throw to Gray I believe(it may have been Gragg I can't remember. No matter.) over the corner and underneath the safety was beautiful.

I'd go EJ

put Taylor on the field for 6-8 trick plays

send Cassel a thank you card with a pink slip

I do not like TE

grab hill, eifert, clay, rudolph from waivers

other then that, I really like your team, given the qb pick early

brown will be a stud at wr

look for wheaton as FA for wr, dump white if you can claim him

EJ, while lifting his play later in camp, has shown to be very inconsistent in terms of performance, and his accuracy. Watch his throws over the middle, usually late, not all, usually. Down the sidelines, poor accuracy most are out of bounds. That is what he has shown. Castle has been mediocre for 11 years..except 1.5 of them...both of which were years ago.
TT, nobody has seen before and what has been shown is better than both in terms of consistency...pretty steady.
Now, I still believe they need a new starter even with these 3... But TT this camp has been the best, most consistent.
