  • If you hate preseason football, then I have some fantastic news for you today: The final week of preseason games is here. On the other hand, if you love preseason football, then I have some bad news for you: The final week of preseason games is here. Things went by so fast that I'm not sure which was shorter: This year's preseason or time with the . To celebrate the final week of the preseason, we'll be taking you into the weekend by covering every po sible angle of all 16 games being played. However, since it might be overkill to devote the entire newsletter to just preseason games, we'll also be unveiling our All-AFC West team and covering the ' quarterback decision.We have a jam-packed newsletter today, so let's get to the rundown. As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the Pick Six newsletter. To get your friends to sign up, all you have to do is with them. 1. Today's show: Previewing the final week of the preseason With the final week of the preseason officially upon us, we thought it would be a good idea to use Friday's episode of the podcast to run through EVERY Brooklyn Nets Jeresy being played this weekend. I can't say this for a fact, but I'm pretty sure this is the most extensive preview of preseason games that's ever been done on a podcast.Besides going through every preseason game being played this weekend, we also dove into a few other topics. One big question we asked on today's show had to do with : Has he been the worst rookie QB in the preseason? Ryan Wilson says yes, but with a catch: He doesn't think it's Lawrence's fault. He thinks the Jaguars offense looks lost thanks in large part to Darrell Bevell, Urban Meyer and a bad offensive line. "A lot of these rookies on different levels are having succe s, but Trevor is not," Wilson said. "It's not his fault. If you put on this Jaguars team, he's being taken Rodions Kurucs Jersey off the field on a stretcher, is running for his life. The good news for Trevor Lawrence is that he's big and strong so he can absorb these hits, but again, we're two weeks into this thing, it's only preseason, he's not going to make it to Week 7or 8 if this keeps up." I also think that Lawrence has been the worst, but I don't think it's nece sarily fair to give him that label because he hasn't been playing on a very even playing field compared to the other rookies. Of the five first-round quarterbacks, Lawrence and are the only ones who have been consistently been playing against their opponents' first-team defense. , Trey Lance and Mac Jones have been seeing a lot of second and third quarter action, which has allowed them to play against "easier" competition. Besides talking Lawrence and previewing the preseason games, we also debated whether the made the right call by going with .

After a training camp battle that went on for nearly a month, the Saints have finally found Brees' replacement in the form of Jameis Winston (Trivia: Can you name the Saints Week 1 starting QB from 2005? Answer at the bottom of this section). According to multiple reports, Saints coach Sean Payton in Week 1 when the Saints host the . Anyway, this was the right decision for the Saints. If you watched either of their preseason games this year, Winston simply outplayed . Here are a few nuggets on Winston:Winston likely won the job against Jacksonville.Winston was named the starter for the Saints' second preseason and I'm gue sing he won over Sean Payton with his performance against the Jaguars. In the 23-21 win, Jameis went 9 of 10 for 123 yards and two touchdowns and he did all of that in le s than one quarter of action.Winston could now earn a lot of extra money.Although Winston is only scheduled to make $5.5 million in salary this year, he can and since he's the starter, those will now be much easier to hit. The easiest ones to hit? Winston will get $1 million if he throws for more than 3,500 yards and he'll get another $1 million if he throws 25 or more touchdown pa ses. He'll also get a $58,823 roster bonus for every game where he takes at least 50% of the snaps, which means he could pocket another $1 million if he reaches that number in all 17 regular season games.Looking back at Winston's 2019. The last time Winston was Andre Roberson Jersey a starter came two years ago and the only thing most people remember is that he threw 30 interceptions, which obviously isn't ideal. However, Winston did put up other big numbers that year: Not only did he lead the NFL in pa sing yards (5,109), but he also ranked second in touchdown pa ses (33). Basically, if Payton can get Winston to cut down on the interceptions, he might have a star in the making.I'm not saying LASIK should be the official sponsor of the Saints this year, but I'm pretty sure the only thing that's changed about Winston since his 30-interception season in 2019 is the fact that he underwent LASIK eye surgery. Their new motto should definitely be, "If we can get Jameis Winston to stop throwing interceptions, imagine what we can do for you." (Trivia answer: Aaron Brooks)Excited for the biggestin history?.

Preseason Week 3: Things to watch for this weekend The NFL is only playing three preseason games this year, which means after just three short weeks, we've already reached the final week of the preseason. With that in mind, let's take a quick look at what's on tap for the weekend. Here's a schedule of games plus my recommendation for which games you should focus on since you probably won't have enough time to watch them all. One thing I will say is that trying to recommend games this week isn't easy and that's because some coaches are treating it like a preseason finale (where you bench all your starters) and some are treating it like Week 3 of the preseason (where you give your starters extensive playing time). Under the old four-week format, coaches sent their starters out in Week 3 and then benched Nate Sestina Jersey everyone for the Week 4 finale. With only three weeks this year, not every coach is treating the final week of the preseason like they did in the past. FRIDAY, AUGUST 27 at (7 p.m. ET, Check local listings) at (7:30 p.m. ET, Check local listings) at (7:30 p.m. ET, Check local listings) at (8 p.m. ET, NFL Network) If you can only watch one of these four games tonight, I'd definitely go with Eagles-Jets. If you haven't yet gotten a chance to watch Zach Wilson, you're definitely going to want to see him in action. Jets
