There are a lot of fallacies surrounding preseason games and practices in the NFL.
Lance Moore is one of those players that understands what it means to pay your dues in the world of professional football. Now, after eight years in the league, he is going to be a starting wide received for the New Orleans Saints, and it is totally deserved.
I doubt that's the deciding factor when Phil Emery sits down with Cutler's representation after this season.
Dawan Landry is well traveled in the NFL, but not because he has not performed up to par. Actually, he has performed highly above the majority of the safeties in the league, and now he's bringing his talent to the New York Jets.
Trestman and Tucker still have DE Julius Peppers, 33, OLB Lance Briggs, 32, and CB Charles Tillman, 32, to anchor the defense.
Daryl Richardson is only in his second NFL season, and he was pushed into the starting running back position for the St. Louis Rams. If ever there was a time for Richardson to grow up in a hurry, the 2013 season is it.
If you're buying Kyle Long at right guard, you need to think twice.

The Indianapolis Colts are looking to continue moving forward in a rebuilding phase that moved forward about five years in just one season, but some pieces are still missing. That missing puzzle piece may have been found in running back Ahmad Bradshaw, who still has a lot of gas in the tank.
The Ravens defense has made quite the reputation for themselves. Not just for being a dominant defense for over a decade. There is a reputation in the notion that defensive players don't play well once they leave Baltimore. With Paul Kruger now playing for the Cleveland Browns, the pass rush specialist hopes he can buck the trend.
Dominated by linemen and defensive players, the draft lacked the name recognition and flair that skill position players bring. That doesn't mean this year's rookie quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, and tight ends won't make an impact.
Steven Ridley always knew that he was talented and had the drive to be a star in the NFL. He knew it wouldn't be easy though, and his path to being a starter for the New England Patriots was a long road with a lot of others standing in his way.
I've said it. Thousands of times. It's not something I'm proud of. Much the opposite, really.

Two organizations hoping to return to glory after mediocre performances last season are the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Football Giants.
Here's something that Marc Trestman knows down to the core of his being.
The good news is, arrests and court cases did not dominate NFL news this week. The bad news is that injuries to key players overwhelmed the news cycle instead.
Shut up until the offseason. Pretty simple. And probably a pretty good idea.
I have no clue what the deal is with Marc Trestman, but I've decided I'm going to try to enjoy it.
Embracing the challenge has always been a part of Adrian Peterson's persona. Bring it on, the star running back has often said with a smile.
