All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Friday's game: Drew Bledsoe will play at least the majority of the first half or possibly the entire half depending on the number of offensive plays. Alex Van Pelt will fill in for Bledsoe before giving way to Travis Brown, who will play the bulk of the second half. David Priestly may work the final series or two depending on the flow.
I'm sorry, but that's just stupid. If they get him hurt, I quit.
Baaaaaaaaaad Idea!
with the current state of the O.L.

would you guys suck it up...pa-lease. The guy went face forward into a linebacker last year- I realy doubt he will get hurt- Our O has improved and there D SUCKS down
He'll probably play the first halves of the Vikings and Colts games, then play a series in the finale at Detroit.
It's pretty standard pre-season workload, and I'm sure they're not going to cut down on his reps when he missed a lot of 2001.
Last night's game was, without a doubt, the worst ever. Rest assured, I was on the internet within minutes, registering my disgust throughout the world.
I'm suprised he's playing that much. Our passing game looked really good last week so it doesn't need a ton of work., We're also gonna play the Vikes in week 2 so you don't want to tip your hand too much as to what you're first-string offense is gonna be like.
Personally, I'd have DB play 3 series like last time, but try and concentrate on the running game this time - obviously if they start to stack the line or something, then pass. This way the coaches can see how the running game might look with the first string offense. After that, let TB and AVP battle it out so we can see who will be better if, God forbid, DB goes down with an injury in the season.
IMO they didn’t play the starters enough in preseason last year and it showed with a slow start. Let’s get these guys out there and give them time to gel.
They might play him more this week than next, considering it's a home game and they want to show him off to the home fans.
Against the Colts, he might not get as many reps (although the next three weeks feature defenses that aren't exactly top shelf...)

The Vikings Defense isn't that good so we should be OK with Drew playing longer. I'd hate to see him in there for a long period of time in the last preseason game.
I'm glad he's playing. Everyone is focusing on the fact that he might get hut. Of course no one wants this. But he's learning a new system and I think the reps will be good. There's nothing like game experience to learn things.
Besides we dont have RJ anymore remember. He can take a couple hits. And plus I want to see him play more
Oh wait, west coast, game probably won't be on. Damn.
I like the idea of DB and 1st team O playing together for half, but unde the current O-line circumstances I say noooo, please not now, take a deep breath and boy.....

I think they announced that mainly to get people in the seats on Friday. I'd be stunned if Drew goes any farther than the middle of the second quarter (anything over one quarter is "the majority of the first half").
