In my opinion this (third game/third week of preseason) preseason game is the most important one of the four. This should be when we see the most of the starters, which has been mentioned by the coaching staff in other threads. This is the final opportunity for them to make some plays and in some respect show what they can do as a team.

I think the week four game is a complete joke for most teams since they are "really" trying to just get through the preseasons last game with no, or less, injuries.

I expect to see what this team can bring to the table on saturday night.

I may be wrong, but i doubt it. thoughts?

I think Fisher uses the 4th game as the jumping off point as opposed to the 3rd.

So do I, but they'd better be prepared to aggressivley protect themselves in order to keep from getting banged up, because I suspect Denver is going to go at them "real hard".

I always thought the 4th one was used for evaluating the fringe guys.

this is correct. 4th game is typically used for evaluation. the 3rd game is the pre season "real deal". dress rehearsal.

Always the way I remembered it. I think Spags had the starters in longer than normal because of the lock out that year but otherwise...

Of course it could have been that we wanted to show off our new stud LBs Poppinga and Leber to strike fear throughout the league.

Fish marches to a different drum in preseason. The 4th game will be used like the 3rd game for others in Fish's past preseasons. Doubt he changes it now.

Fish usually uses the 4th game as dress rehearsal. He has however been known in the past go use both 3 and 4 this way

I think it was mainly due to how sucky our offense looked when the starters were in. Of course that was partly due to the lock out so indirectly...yeah.

With so many young starters, I can imagine the first team getting a ton of PT in both the third and fourth games.

Yeah, I know Fisher likes to gradually increase play time through each game. We'll see alot more from our 1st team. Still not much game planning and all that, but i'm sure we'll throw a few things out there and hopefully we execute. I'll be looking at guys like Pead, Ogletree, LG battle, tackling, several different things.. hoping for improvement. I'll be worried if we still don't improve the defense, tackling, penalties, dropped balls, redzone scoring, etc.
