Losman in the Preseason?

[ShadowHawk7]

Do you guys think he'll get a considerable chunk of playing time? I mean like 1-2 quarters a game. If so, how do you think he'll do? Will he have learned enough of the O to be effective? This may be our only chance to see him play the whole season.

[The Spaz]

I think he will get quite bit of playing time. As far4 as how well he'll do we won't have a clue until we we get reports from training camp and until he gets into the game.

[TigerJ]

He should be on the field a lot in preseason games 1,2, and 4. The third preseason game is usually seen as the tuneup game for the starter, so Drew will probably be in for at least a half, and possibly more. Otherwise, I expect Losman to average two quarters in the remaining three preseasopn games.

[ShadowHawk7]

good point, but why exactly the 3rd game the tune up game? I've noticed this too.

The 4th game is: finalize your roster and keep your starters healthy game.

Travis Brown will prob start the season out at #2.Greg Zolman might get some snaps as well as Nate Chandler.

[TigerJ]

Zolman and Chandler may both get a few snaps early in preseason, but I doubt that both of them survive the first cut.

[Novacane]

I'd give Bledsoe the time he usually gets and then give the rest to Losman. He needs to get as much real game experience as possible. Maybe give Brown 1 quarter the entire pre-season.

[ScottLawrence]

I would give the number 2 spot to Brown..... If Bledsoe goes down I dont think Losman will be ready.

[elltrain22]

I am so excited to see what the kid can do. Losman really has tremendous potential, and who knows, he could become the best qb out of this class. Ya never know...

[elltrain22]

What if he really is somewhat like a Brett Farve ( not as good, but similar in style, arm strength, & durability )

It depends, if he's the #2 QB heading into the games, yes, he'll get to see the field quite a bit, even more than usual because he's a rookie. and needs to learn as much as possible if he's going to be the primary backup.

I agree,and Chandler will be the first QB gone.

[tampabay25690]

Eltrain I LOVE that you are a Baldelli fan, I get to see him play all the time here in Tampa. I know he is haveing a tuff year now, but he will come around......

[ryjam282]

Losman will get plenty of time to show in the preseason. Remember how the Bengals did with Palmer in his first year. He got a lot of PT also.

I disagree. Losman will be #2 so that he can get more snaps in practice during the season. But if Drew gets hurt for more that one game, I think there's an even chance that Brown starts for him.

Brown should be able to keep up with his skills as the #3. Loseman needs the snaps if he's going to take over next year.

[thefixer74]

Brown will be #1 at the start of the season.JP prob be #3 till mid way or twards the end of the season.

[mysticsoto]

I think Losman will be #2 and they will try to get him as much time on the field (pre-season) as possible. Sincerely, I hope the rest just battle it out (Brown vs Zolman) and we keep the best one as a 3rd alternative. Chandler will likely not be ready and we can place him in the practice squad and not totally lose him since he has potential (moreso than Brown or Zolman).
