The Hall of Fame Game

Hall of Fame Game Preview

I don't care that it's pre-season. I'm still pumped for the start of a new season!

[Pepsi]

Im hoping to see a good dose of Jordan Shipley. How many snaps do starters see in this game? Only like 2-4 right?

[anterrabae33]

Entrenched starters usually do one to two drives

Guys fighting for starter spots usually get the first quarter maybe two

Second half are backup battles

[lowlife]

Antonio Bryant and Rey Maualuga's move to MLB/Michael Johnson's move to SLB could be under "stories to look for" as well. Not to mention the team discards Joneses (Adam and Matt).

AOA probably isn't playing due to injury. Cowboys draft class has been riddled with injuries.
Bryant, Lee, then AOA.

Don't know how you you don't put Carlos Dunlap under "rookies to watch." Another typical Cincy pick. All potential no character.

I want to see the best CB duo in the NFL and how Stephen Bowen plays with Marcus Spears out. According to Dallas fans, he's a better player anyway.
Also want to see 6th Round pick Jamar Wall, CB, Texas Tech. He was one of my sleeper picks.

Ghee and Atkins were guys I had high on the board too.

Isn't Carson's little brother on the Bengals too?

Don't get the Cowboy intrigue, Cincy will be a lot more entertaining to watch.

According to the Bengals first depth chart.

Maualuga is still playing outside.

Jason Williams is on the Cowboys. I know a bunch of guys around here were high on him before the draft as a potential late pick.

you should def. see a good dose of Shipley all pre-season long. He's a good WR but is behind on the depth chart.

I wanna see how the second year Michael Johnson looks.

[STULAAKE]

AB will not be playing tonite...heard that the other day on ESPN

[lowlife]

According to the Bengals first depth chart.

Maualuga is still playing outside.

They're slowly working him in at MLB with Dhani Jones in 3-4 and Nickel packages. He'll eventually move permanently to MLB. If Johnson performs well as an SLB, Zimmer will be more comfortable allowing Rey to play more Mike.

[Tampa Bay Todd]

I'll be interested in watching the first couple of drives for both teams since there will be a lot of playmakers on the field for both teams. I'm sure at some point it will get boring because the starters will be out, but just glad to have football back!

[SunnyD]

Interesting.

I'll have to watch what they do with him tonight.

Might draft him as an IDP in fantasy if he sticks in the middle

[obuc]

Here's to the everyone on both teams tearing their ACL.

Cheers!!

Wrong? I don't care if it's wrong.

[Calvin Johnson]

Will Dez be playing?
