According to D. Orlando Ledbetter of the AJC, it is looking more and more like D.J. Shockley is the fourth man in a three man quarterback race. I agree it doesn't look good that D.J. has been the last QB to come off the bench in the first two games. Add to that his 2 interceptions and abysmal QB rating, and you see that things aren't going so well for Shockley.
I'd like to say that D.J. hasn't looked all that great because he's been running for his life, playing behind an offensive line of guys that will be cut. But I doubt he'll get any more meaningful playing time in the game on Friday. Word has it that Matt Ryan will play into the third quarter.
At this point, I just hope D.J. makes it through the next round of cuts to play in the final pre season game. If he does, he should be the starter. But at that point, you hope that he gets to play more than a few series. We'll just have to wait and see, but it isn't looking good for him to make the team at this point.
The Falcons already know what Joey Harrington can't do. He might be better than Shock at this point, but you've already seen his best. You haven't seen DJ's best. Keep the youg QB from UGA and give him a better chance than yoy have thus far.
ReplyDeleteYeah, DJ wasn't in the Tennessee preseason game. It doesn't look good. Although Brown had a rushing TD
