Figure you give Dalton the start the first two games. Maybe let him play a quarter the first game. Half the second game. And then have Fields play the rest and start the 3rd game? Foles shouldn't even play IMO. I'm assuming Dalton is the starter here and this isn't a competition in any way. Given Dalton's experience 3 quarters of play is probably enough to get ready for the season. Then turn the rest into a learning situation for Fields.

You let JF1 steam roll 2nd stringers and / if Dalton still has a handle on #1 job, you roll JF1 out there with most of the 1s in (game 2? now)

I'm assuming the second game will be the most important game now with the three game schedule. So one of these games the starters need a whole half together. Other than that I was Fields playing as much as possible.

I'd give Fields a lotta work. We know what we have in Foles

I'm interested to see how teams handle pre-season with it being 3 games with this 17 game schedule. Id give Fields at least 2 quarters in each game.

In a perfect world, Fields gets 2 quarters--preferably 2nd and 3rd.

Knowing Nagy, he'll probably do some stupid cute shit like put Fields at the end of the 1st half only to take a knee, not playing him again till the 4th.

Think the BHVWGHC plays guys more than usual this preseason

Game 1
Dalton 1st quarter
Fields 2nd and 3rd
Fools 4th

Game 2
Dalton 1st and 2nd quarter (maybe 1st series in 2nd half)
Fields 3rd and 4th quarter

Game 3
Fields quarters 1-3
Fools quarter 4

Dalton = 3 quarters
Fields = 7 quarters (including a starts and 2 or 3 times after halftime)
Fools = 2 quarters

1st game - Dalton gets 1 quarter - Fields gets 3
2nd game - Dalton gets a halve/Fields gets a halve
3rd game - Dalton gets 1, Fields gets 2, Foles gets 1

This is assuming Nagy is set on starting the season with Dalton.

Hmm, if Foles is still on the Roster in Pre season, I might send him out in the 4th quarter after a jersey swap with all of the First String Offense guys putting on unknown players numbers, send them all out to make Foles LOOK OUTSTANDING v. 3rd and 4th stringers.

But Fields... A L O T.

I think a lot should to depend on how long Nagy is willing to play some of the starting olinemen ? I wouldn’t want the future of the franchise out there too long with the bears backup olinemen
