Full list of Giants not playing in tonights preseason game:

Some young guys are going to get some significant play time at DE tonight. Brandon Mosely will start at Guard in place of Snee/Brewer.

Most of those absences I'm fine with, except Pugh and Brewer. Two young guys who definitely needed the work.

I guess Capers, Mosley, and Herman will see tons of action.

Good, as long as the running game improves...with a better running game, we would have had an easier time in that Baltimore game...and why am I still thinking about that bloody game...ugh.

It would be awesome to have him emerge as a strong back. He'll just have to do it against stronger competition next time. Probably keep 4 RB's at this point. Looks like Hillman/Ball/Moreno/Anderson.

As far as the Baltimore game, it will always be a scar but it's healed for me. I don't even care if they win the opener against them. Just get to the playoffs and show up.

oh, snap. Psych hospital would be nothing compared to a ER. But you mentioned doing a 1-1, at the mental health hospital i used to work at they would do 1-1 with patients all the time.

Keenum could leap TJ Yates (and potentially Schoob)

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...apfrog-yates-maybe-eventually-schaub/related/

In some cities, quarterbacks are battling for the starting job. In others, the fight is unfolding at a lower level on the depth chart.

In Houston, second-year signal-caller Case Keenum could be in the early stages of making a checkers-style series of jumps that could eventually put him in the starting job.

For now, Keenum could be supplanting T.J. Yates as the primary backup to Matt Schaub. And that would be no small feat, given that Yates led the Texans to the first playoff win in franchise history.

“Well they are two good football players, so it’s a nice problem for us,” coach Gary Kubiak told reporters on Saturday. “I think Case has come a long way. That has nothing to do with T.J. not doing something. I think T.J. is having a dang good camp. He’s a better player than he was the last couple of years. It’s just a very competitive situation for us right now and it’s going to make our team better. It’s making both of those guys better. It will help them in their careers, but it’s definitely making our team better.”

The praise comes a day after Keenum, undrafted from the University of Houston in 2012, completed 13 of 18 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings as the third quarterback in the game. The performance may have earned Keenum the No. 2 slot for the Texans’ next preseason game.

“We’re going to talk about that this week,” Kubiak said. “What I’m trying to do is get him and T.J. in the exact same situations as players with pretty much equal reps, so that’s something that may be a topic this week. They will continue to both play a great deal. It’s a very good battle going on and they both did a good job last night.”

Starter Matt Schaub, who’d be the next guy in the Abilene native’s sights, sees a night-and-day difference in Keenum after one year.

“It’s confidence,” Kubiak said. “It’s knowledge of what we’re doing. He’s just got a little swagger to him when he plays and that’s the way he played in college. I mean, he’s very confident. Doesn’t get caught with the ball. As a coach, you call a bad play and he makes it a good one. That’s just what he can do. I’ve never seen a guy smile so much when he plays football. He’s having a good time and he’s got a lot of confidence in what’s going on. You can tell how far he’s come in camp and obviously last night showed you that it’s continuing.”

Keenum’s confidence could be the thing that helps light a fire under Schaub. With men like quarterbacks coach Karl Dorrell and G.M. Rick Smith both saying in recent weeks that Schaub needs to step up in big moments, perhaps knowing that Keenum would be unfazed is the thing that will Schaub get to that point, too.

If not, the Texans could be the next team in the Lone Star State with a starting quarterback who didn’t hear his name called once during the draft.

What Bernie say guys.
Click to expand...

He was, dismissive isn't the word, but he didn't really think the QBs were doing that well b/c they were given easy reads pre-snap. He also said the Rams WRs were bad b/c they dropped some passes. Rams fans thought he was too much a homer but he said the same thing about Weeden getting easy reads. Maybe he said some stuff after the starters got pulled. I turned off the audio after that

edit: oh shit I had no idea he ripped Clemens. Well, he's not wrong. No one should have to watch 3rd string QBs play out the 4th quarter

Bernie actually said some pretty good things about Bradford, he seemed head over heels for him.

Ill enjoy listening to his commentary throughout the preseason

Yeah I thought he was complimentary at times, but he was also saying that any QB could read the defenses b/c of how little they were disguising things. I thought it was good insight. And he liked Bradford's accuracy, which is what led to him bashing the Rams WRs. Apparently Fisher is mad at the WR thing and the Clemens thing. Fisher needs to stop whining
