The good bad and ugly Pre-Season 1

I'll shorten this so we don't have a wall of text, but I don't think contracts are going to play in that heavily.  The days of cap savings are over so I wouldn't factor that into the Lewis equation at all.  I don't think contract length plays any large role either because none of these guys are ones that are going to go out onto the open market and get paid something we can't match, based on what we've seen from them this far.

I'm a firm believer that Lewis is a near lock as he's been said to be a favorite of the coaching staff because they feel he can pop in and out of the lineup as necessary.  Now, if he's truly injured right now, that's a different story.  Based on what I've read throughout the offseason though, I just can't see Lewis going anywhere despite the overall desire for people to get rid of him.

I don't want Lewis as a starter, but I'll take him as our 3rd safety every day of the week. He's a far safer option than Brooks or elam, and we are talking about SAFEty of course, amirite?

Two words: Matt Elam

or at least I think it all related to him 

I'm not sure how statistics from 2012 and 2013 on a cb that's not even with the team have anything to do with a safety in 2016, particularly in "the first preseason game", but I'm just being frivolous at this point.

Seriously... We have a whole page about Cary freaking Williams, who hasn't been on the team since when!? But a comment about Flacco and I'm hijacking?

 

OH OK

Did someone accuse YOU of hijacking?  

A coversation that morphs is one thing, but when someone introduces an unrelated subject (it wasn't you) out of the clear blue, that is hijacking.  Responding to it just makes matters worse, of course, so should be avoided. Feeding a hijacker is about as bad as feeding a troll.  Come to think of it, a lot of hijacking really is just trolling.

With my post being deleted, yes I feel accused of hijacking, which in all honesty, I don't really care about. The whole point I was making was this thread had been "hijacked" long ago with the Cary Williams talk by another troll.

 

For what it's worth, Flacco not playing in the game opened the door for Mallet to show what he can do with the first stringers. It let us question how long he may be to starting again. (I'm not trying to start this discussion and I know this wasn't the discussion presented, but it wasnt unrelated and is much more relevant than Cary Williams)

 

So when you ask what does Flacco (or lack thereof) have to do with preseason game 1, there ya go.
