Tonight's game is nationally televised on CBS. What are you watching for or are you even watching?

Abdullah of course will draw a lot of attention. Can Stafford become more consistent?

Can Denard continue to put pressure on assumed starter Yeldon?

Has Bortles progressed?


Is there anything in particular that you'll be paying attention to?

There's another young RB for the Lions whose name I can not recall that has looked very good in preseason running the ball through the middle of the line. A guy that I think has an outside chance at replacing the always injured Joique Bell. I have to watch to catch this kids name again.

Zenner, he is #4 on the depth chart. It goes Bell, Abdullah, Riddick(change of pace) then Zenner. They also have George Wynn, but I think he has been outplayed by Zenner. He is a great undrafted FA from a small college

Thanks. You'd think I could remember a kid named Zenner. Kind of like a blimp! Anyway he has impressed me thus far.

Yeah, I like him too, heck of a kid, only issue is he went to a small college. Was one of the top Div. 2A backs but not NFL material by most teams. I think the kid should be solid

I'm really looking forward to this game and am glad it's on tv. I own Robinson in quite a few leagues so I'm hoping bortles has turned things around since last season.

I also own yeldon so I am interested to see how he does in his first preseason game.

Abdullah flashed in his first game and then only received two carried in the last game.

Interested mostly in how Bortles does. I only have only one Jag, Julius Thomas, and no Lions in 3 leagues so not a lot going on here for me. Not expecting a ton from Juius Thomas but got him tn the 13th round and figured at that point he was worth a flier. If Bortles has improved could have some upside to Thomas provided he heals well from his injury.

I may do one more league depending how things fall and if that's the case I am interested in Yeldon and Robinson too. My Lions views are pretty much set. Avoid the backfield. Like Abdullah the best but too much uncertainty especially since Abdullah has a lot of buzz. Going a little too high to be a value pick now. Stafford is what he is an ok low end 1 if your loaded at other positions. Calvin is great among the top at his position but with some injury risk. Feel comfortable drafting him if he falls to me in the second round.

Great drive down the field for a TD for the Jags. Bortles looked really sharp. Yeldon was steady but nothing flashy.

Zenner with some nice runs but drive stalls after 40 yards and they punt. Jags ball @ their 20. Can they control the clock and drive down the field again? We're about to find out on cbs.

Bad call by the ref gives Yeldon a TD. I think he fumbled and never crossed the goal line. It's under review.
