Nice to have Terry back. You can just see open space settling into the offense even as we speak.
The Eagles released Dorian Thompson-Robinson. He'd be a good pickup for an NFC East team looking to have someone run the Philadelphia Offense in practice.
The Lions released Hendon Hooker.
Just thinking maybe we need a new Number 3 QB. Both Hooker and DTR are people folks like to call "Veteran Rookies".

How does an NFL Team get ready for the regular season?
The way preseason "works" is it sells tickets. It doesn't prepare football teams. So many teams start 0-5 because those five games are basically them getting used to full-time football. That unreadiness can ruin seasons.
Then there is the problem of playing nonstarters against starters. Not accurate in the slightest. For either side. It is ego inflation for starters. Ego deflation for nonstarters. It answers questions already answered. The nonstarters are not starters. You already know this. You already know the starters can play in the league. Zero learning takes place. You don't move the chains.
Young guys need to play four quarters of live football. In the preseason, that's against other young guys. You really don't get to see how they do against starters until the regular season. When it's "for real" and a game plan is in place. Regular season game experience is the best metric for whether young guys are NFL players.
I doubt very much you can see what young guys can do ritually sacrificing them to the ticket sales department. That's not "opportunity". You're definitely NOT seeing what they can do. And if you can't do that, you are gonna produce LOUSY game plans for them. Don't tell me you are giving these guys opportunities.
What a joke.
Nonstarters should play preseason football games on Thursday. Starters should play 15-minute games on Friday. The rest of the weekend should be an offload. Get back to it on Monday.
Instead of using the psychic hotline to game plan for your young guys, you have actionable intelligence of what they can do in four quarters. Otherwise it's a Miss Cleo Coaching Staff.
And that goes for the Entire League.
