Game Plan the 3rd Preseason Game

1. Through the first half and one series each after the half. Get them to go through a half and come out after to practice that first drive.

2. Chase. As others have said, let's see what he can do against better competition. Collins sits for the night. Colt comes in if for the clean up in the 4th.

3. See above.

4. Raynor - we've seen Suisham all last year. Let's see what Raynor can do.

Sounds good.

So here we are, the all-important 3rd preseason game is upon us. Suppose you were Zorn this week and had to plan for the game, how would you answer these questions?

1. How long do the starters play? I'd play the offense til they look a little smoother. Im not really concerned about the whole scoring deal the ball movement is my concern. I want to see speed coming out the huddle. The scoring will happen you can count on that. So offense 2nd qtr.,The D not to long 1st qtr.
2. Who's the first QB off the bench? Chase, I want to see what we have in him. There seems to be some good competion ahead for the 3rd spot I'd like to see T.Collins cut and some youth. But the only way that happens is great playing by Colt and Chase.
3. Who's the second QB off the bench?Colt, No more Collins I want to see these two young guys show us who is better with equal playing time.

4. How would you manage the kicker battle?Split the playing time evenly and let them battle for it.


The above copied from SkinDeep! It wouldn't copy when I tried the Quote button!

Agreed! Cut Collins now!

#1 Defense in through the half, and one possession in 3rd qtr.

So here we are, the all-important 3rd preseason game is upon us. Suppose you were Zorn this week and had to plan for the game, how would you answer these questions?

1. How long do the starters play?

2. Who's the first QB off the bench?

3. Who's the second QB off the bench?

4. How would you manage the kicker battle?

1. the defense needs to play perhaps a half. I'd play the starting offense 3 quarters and they need to throw the ball 90% of the time.

2. Collins needs to be 1st off the bench cause he may need to play this year. He also needs reps. I don't need to see Daniels or Brennan. Let them play the last game.

4. Kicker battle? I'm not worried about the kicking battle cause the offense can't seem to move the ball to get into FG range.

1. I'd give the starters the full first half

2. Colt

3. Chase

We already know what TC brings. He's either good enough to continue as the #2 or he really has no place on this team. So I'm not worried about playing him.

I don't really see the need of giving Chase more time against better competition. I don't think right now the question with Chase is can he be the #2 QB. I think, at best, he's the #3 this year. And that's not a bad thing, the #3 guy is usually a guy you think can actually be a starter in 2-3 years. But let's not rush him into even being the #2 quite yet

Colt, on the other hand, is a guy who was expected to challenge for the #2 spot. So let's see if he can.

Good point SS. If he can beat out TC, doubtful but possible, I believe they really want him to, I doubt they would keep TC at #3 and Chase could make the team if Zorn likes what he sees in him. Futurewise, this is probably the best case scenario. I don't think anyone in the organization is ready to write Colt off just yet and Daniel needs to prove he can do it again.

Do you really think playing Chase or Colt in this game is going to do us any good? I'm getting the two guys that are going to play this year all of the work.

I don't know that TC really needs any more work though. Plus let's see some more of what Colt and Chase can do, because if Campbell isn't here next year it won't be because of Collins. But it might be because of Chase or Colt

Let them play until they can atleast score a TD and like someone else said have JC drop back to pass 90% of the plays and tell him not to worried about int's but getting the ball out to some who is past the line of scrimage.

I'd like to see Chase get some more time.

2nd off the bench is Colt because I feel he is now in a fight to stay on the team.

You have to split the time between the kickers.

I agree, CB had a nice drive until the pick. but it was 3rd down and he just watched Chase score 2 tds. after seeing that do you think he wanted to settle for 3 even though thats what he should have done and thrown it away? the play wasnt there and he tried to force it. It would be like if this week TC comes out with the starters first and leads the team to 2 scores and has a nice half. you think JC wouldnt come in with more of a sense of urgency? he would do anything he could to get a score---not saying scenerio that will happen ---
These guys know it is a competition where the loser goes home, they will find themselves in a position where they know they may have to take a chance to outdo the other.

1. Starters play the first half, maybe into the 3rd depending on how they are looking. Ideally I'd love to see at least 10 points on the board by the half.

2. Daniel is the first off the bench. I think based on last week's performance he deserves another extended look. Let him play most of the third and let Colt play the 4th. Collins has the #2 locked up, let him sit.

3. See above

4. Just keep alternating kicks

Matty read my mind.
