SeniorFlaJet Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Mangini is considering playing Favre. I've heard 5 or 6 plays, I've heard one series, etc. I say its too risky to have him play. It's not only him playing it means the whole first team has to be out there to protect him. We have been very lucky so far this preseason not having significant injuries. Let's not tempt fate this final game. If Favre hasn't grasped the play book by now a few plays won't really make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that all those penalties were from lack of reps. I remember when Chad went down and Vinny hadn't played and Herm wouldn't play him in the 4th game. It's a risk, but I'd take it. I just don't think he's had enough reps. Of course, we could just hope Miami is as bad as last year and treat that game as practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that in the new stadium? The Vet was the worst, but I thought the new place was supposed to be pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aec4 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Id play him a series or so. It's football, it's a contact sport. If he gets hurt, it's unfortunate. Now if Philly plays all the 2nd teamers, like they usually do, you mayhave to reconsider.. Last thing you want is some hack making a name for himself.

124 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Absolutely not. He has played very well in both Preseason games and there is no reason to risk injury to him or any of the other 10 starters on offense because if you're going to play Brett you have to start everyone else as well, especially the Offensive Line. Brett is a veteran, he has this down. Lets get ready for Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK Dom...but I don't trust that place or that game-one series and sit down ALL the starters. Also, I have actually really enjoyed watching the kids play this PS more than any other I can ever recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside is a devastating injury. I say start Ratliff and let him play the whole first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett is a veteran, he has this down. Lets get ready for Miami. I agree. No reason to play him. The offensive penalties (apart from holding) that occurred on Saturday night can be corrected in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 No. It wouldn't even be a great evaluation of talent because the firsts would be playing scrubs. To risky to play anyone. Wrap them up in Cotton wool for week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 C'mon, they are football players, not china dolls. Sure they could try to correct the penalties in practice. They could get hurt in practice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelticwizard Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 He missed all of training camp before the preseason, he saw a Jets playbook for the first time just a few weeks ago-how can you NOT play him? Play him at least a half. He'll be starting the season having mastered just a limited number of plays as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I would play him. He missed a lot of TC, the 1st PS game, plus he's with a new team. He needs the work on his timing with his receivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
