Eagles @ Jets - Is This Now The Best Preseason Game or The Worst?

[SAR I]

Trying to figure this out.  As the last preseason game will coaches rest all their starters...

-or-

...because there is a two-week gap between the last preseason game and the first regular season game, will coaches treat this as they used to the 3rd preseason game and play all their starters for the first half?

Anyone have any intel?

With all your inside information your asking jetnation for answers ?

[JETSY14]

we never beat them in a regular season game but  we can beat them in a preseason game. That makes this game great !

[JohnnyLV]

My guess is we treat it more like the 3rd game like in the past which will really limit the rookies chances to shine in a game.  But I think this first time we will see different approaches from different teams. I would think we would want more game time for Zach, but KC might just throw all rookies out there

I have a call in to Adam Gaze to find out.  He hasn’t called me back yet.

Yeah, I think each team will treat the games differently but, if I’m the Jets, I want Zach and the starters/major contributors to get the first half or more in all three games. I think the league set it up with the bye between the last preseason game and the regular season to make it easier to play your main guys in that last one. Also makes for a better product for the season ticket holders forced to buy these games.

The OL needs to gel together running a new scheme and the RB’s and Zach need to get a feel for the OL & each other. There’s more risk of injuries to starters but “All gas, no brakes & no breaks”!

All hands on deck with the LB & CB groups. The only players I’d rest is Curry, QW, Rankins, Lawson. These guys are vets and will be ready. Everyone else is competing for PT

This is what I'm hoping and thinking, but wondering if any of the coaching staff's in the league have let that be known as of yet.

This is not directed at you but the "season ticket holders paying full price" for preseason games is such a limp argument. The Jets are going to set a revenue value for each seat and whether they charge $50 for a preseason game or $200 in the end you will pay exactly the same total for you season tickets.

[DoubleDown]

If I had to bet, I would say it will be a throwaway game. Coaches will not want to risk injuries to starters.

Buying PSls is a simp move to begin with what do you expect?

Stop including dick  picks with them he probably eventually will. 

[Jetluv58]

Just hoping for fewer injuries this pre-season. Otherwise excited! Would like to see Morgan and White play, since we didn’t get to with Gase. 

[Larz]

There’s no substitute for live ammo action

they will play into the second half

It's not easy having the best non-club seats in the house, but someone has to do it.

I will go out on a limb here and use a common NFL expression: “The OL needs to glue”, so I think they will get some time together. How they are doing will determine how much time our precious rookie will get behind them. If the OL sucks they will throw in Capt Morgan early. 

[slimjasi]

all preseason games are the worst, by definition.

I think different teams will use that last game in different ways. 

For a young team like the Jets, I would think getting the young guys as many reps together before the season is important and we will see 1s and 2s get a lot of playing time in that last game.

For a more established veteran team, I can see them giving limited reps to 1s and 2s and using game 3 to make roster decisions for the guys on the bubble.

I think it will still be the game that the coaching staff uses to determine last cuts, but with a rookie QB and HC, you may see the starters get a series or two in the first quarter.

....and that's my fear.

I'm really looking forward to going to my first Jets game in 21 months but I'm not going to cut my vacation short to attend a game where the starters come out for a series or two.

I'm hopeful that with the second bye week between Preseason Game 3 and Regular Season Game 1 that coaches across the league will treat this more like the old schedule's full-on tune-up and not rest Zach and the boys for 3 full weeks without real game action.

No vacation should be cut short to attend preseason football.  I've had season tix since 1981 and I can't remember a preseason game worth attending at all, let alone to leave vacation early to attend.  Record it.

[UntouchableCrew]

My guess is it's still the last tryout for fringe roster guys.

I honestly think as the preseason continues to get minimized you see less and less from starters in all pre-season games -- long term anyway.
