I thought it was ridiculous they kept Jones out there so long. He was getting hammered & they are lucky he didn't get hurt.

Offenses as a whole across the league were anemic this weekend. I mentioned it to a friend yesterday. And later saw the Philly coach pointed it out as well. The lack of reps they are giving starters in preseason now I think has made them less sharp. I told my friend I'm not expecting the O to start hitting their strides until week 3 or 4. I pointe to Carolina w/a rookie QB, w/all new skill players & w/all new staff it was short sighted playing their key players so little in the preseason. Chemistry is almost, if not equally, as important as talent. This is the kind of offense you'd expect from an expansion franchise.

I understand the fear of losing someone before the season starts. You are going to have to endure a lot of 2nd guessing if a key starter gets a season ender in the 2nd quarter of a game 2 exhibition. But some teams didn't play their 1st teams @ all in August. I think there needs to be a balance.
