As the preseason comes to a close my thoughts are that this has been the most boring, uneventful preseasons I can remember. Is it just me? I've been doing this a long time and maybe it's just me getting old but there just doesn't seem to be a lot of buzz or excitement about many players. Teams have been running vanilla offenses forever in the preseason but at least they played their players in the games and you had week 3 to look forward to. Now in an effort to keep their players healthy teams are just sitting their starters the majority of the preseason. I was anxious to see Anthony Miller in the week 3 game and the Bears held out the entire offense...and they weren't alone.
I was also looking forward to this "legendary" crop of RBs this year and overall I really can't be more disappointed. Barkley had one run and was shutdown, Jones? Penny? Michel? Guice? Freeman and Johnson played well but besides them it's largely been a huge yawn. Overall, I think the rookie WR's and QB's have been much more exciting and interesting than the RBs.
I guess one good thing is that there will likely be more opportunity due to uncertainty this year since many situations aren't as cut, dried and settled in the preseason.
