GimmeShelter Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 TX is short on material? Seriously I imagine it will only be a series or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage69 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 He needs the rep's under enemy fire! Hermie played Vinny in preseason for about 1 series in 03..Was he ready when Chad went down?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Herm meant to start him in the week 4 preseason game but messed up his time management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlag Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Probably in an attempt to shut everyone up about Chad's shoulder. Whether it backfires or not will be determined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smizzy Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Probably in an attempt to shut everyone up about Chad's shoulder. Whether it backfires or not will be determined. a 64mil I told you so? What if Fat Pat falls on the shoulder and he's done for the yr? Why put our surgically repaired QB in the 2nd preseason game? To prove a point? can't the same point be proven in week 3 or 4 with a little more safety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJJared Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 He needsd some reps against an opposing defense before opening day. His arm is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just throwing it out there mostly in jest. I wouldn't hope Herm would do that. It's not a terrible decision to start him and get him some live work. It's possibly questionable but who knows maybe Chad told Herm he'd feel more comfortable if he got a little work in this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok but if you were HC and your QB just finished his first 2-a-day's would you play him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiJet Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Because he needs to play. Look at it this way. Say Chad doesn't play this week. That only leaves him one pre season game to get into gamelike conditions. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO LEAVE CHAD IN FOR A HALF OR LONGER AGAINST THE GIANTS?!? In preseason, you want your starters to play a series or two in game one, a quarter or more in game two, a half or 2 1/2 in game three and one series in game four. If Chad misses this game, you run the risk of playing him a few reps or longer against a team that you fired up a week or so ago. Let him get his timing down in thsi game with his O line and wideouts, and then play him against Big Blue, having rhythm and confidence. Look, F the superstitions, etc. We have to be confident as fans and as a team that we're ready, that Chad can do this. What is meant to be will be. If Chad gets banged around, either Adrian Jones or Fabini didn't do their job. I'm tired of this. I want to see what this kid can do. He has the tools, the pieces, the coaching. If this isn't our year, when is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwanaZulia Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 If anything this just proves that Chad is making a good recovery because this is what QBs do, they come in and play a few series or a quarter. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Howley III Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Look, the guy is medically cleared to play. Getting a few snaps in the 2nd pre-season game is SOP. We have to stop walking on egg shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
