I can be on for a few minutes.

 

The starters will play like 3 drives at most. I might watch that, but after that I'll turn it off. I don't care who makes the team.

 

Isn't 3 drives a bit much? I was thinking 1 drive at the most.:icon_confused:

 

I think it just depends on how the drive goes in pre-season game 1, I've seen long successful first drive and then the starters pulled, or maybe like a 3 and out and then they get one more series. Just depends on the team and coaches I guess.

 

With the Cowboys, it's been only one drive for Game 1 of the preseason. Then, it gets increased as the preseason goes on.

 

Still love this from my Titans:

Nice return to start the game for N.O. Gotta live Mayock on the call all year long.

 

That got all bungled up.

 

Nice way to follow his blocker. Not rushing it got Thomas about 5-7 extra yards.

 

Love Sproles. Little jitterbug is a dangerous weapon. He's everything Regige Bush should have been in this offense.

Crapty tackling there on the Thomas run by Arizona.

 

Can't give Sproles an edge like that. He'll toast you every time.

 

A bad throw by Drew? Mark it on the calendar.

 

Get your man down Peterson!

 

Nice cutback by Ingram. Cardinals not really trying to get in the way of the Saints on this first drive.

Ingram down to the 1 on 1st & goal.

 

That was a TD on the last carry. Don't matter, the Saints bang it home for the first touchdown of the season. Saints made it look easy.

 

Man...if all of our RB's stay healthy it's a whole new ballgame

 

Backs made that drive happen. Good ballin' by Thomas, Sproles and Ingram on that drive.

 

I'll take an Olympic break and watch some NFL.
