Setting your preseason table
This article got me more excited about this weekend's preseason games: Ronnie Brown might play. This is a surprise, and a pleasant one, although I still expect the Dolphins to rest Brown. It's a good sign he's that close to ready and he'd be fun to watch. The preseason is mostly worthless, especially the first week when starters barely play. Still, there are a couple stories worth tracking. For tonight's games, here is what I'm looking for.
Giants @ Lions
Kevin Smith vies for playing time.
Ravens @ Patriots
Quarterback battle for Baltimore. A first peak at Ray Rice could be fun, but won't be too meaningful.
Jets @ Browns
Brady Quinn's time to shine. And lots of Favre sideline shots!
Saints @ Cardinals
Adrian Arrington, Pierre Thomas, and the third receiver battle in Arizona. Matt Leinart also gets to start taking the '07 stench off.
Chiefs @ Bears
The starters may play longer for these two teams than any other this week, so it will be more interesting to watch than most. If you can stomach Croyle vs. Orton.

Evan Silva will be on the tables on our player news page. I'm heading over to get my Prospectus on at the Varsity Letters Series. If anyone else in New York is heading over, I'll be the guy smaller than everyone else.
