heres the rotations for a cincy/buffalo:

CINCINNATI -(08/17 05:56am) The Enquirer reports - Look for Anthony Wright to start and play the first half, as he did in last Sunday's preseason opener against Washington. Doug Johnson and rookie Erik Meyer are likely to play the second half at quarterback against Buffalo.

BUFFALO -(08/17 06:13am) The Bills website reports - Bills head coach Dick Jauron confirmed that quarterback Craig Nall has been cleared to play Friday night against Cincinnati in Buffalo's second preseason game. "He has been cleared to play," said Jauron. "We're going to try to work him into the rotation. Obviously J.P. will start. They'll all play, it's just a question of how much, but J.P. will play a good deal. "Buffalo's head coach said while the exact amount of playing time for Losman, Holcomb and Nall is inexact, the starting units on both sides of the ball will see more snaps Friday.

heres the rotations for the lions/browns:

DETROIT -(08/18 03:34am) The Free Press reports - When quarterback Jon Kitna comes out, Dan Orlovsky not Josh McCown will go in, just like last week. Marinelli plans to play his starters longer than he did in the exhibition opener against Denver last week, around 24 to 30 snaps.

CLEVELAND - (08/18 03:51am) The Beacon Journal reports - Quarterback Charlie Frye will play into the second quarter, and perhaps the entire first half. The starters also might play the entire half.

SAN DIEGO -(08/18 03:57am) The Times reports - It'll be Whitehurst, and not Feeley, relieving Rivers and running the second-string Friday. QB Philip Rivers and the rest of the starters are expected to play about a half on Saturday.

CHICAGO -(08/18 04:06am) The Herald reports - Grossman is expected to play at least the first half. RB Adrian Peterson will play the first half with the rest of the starters, and rookie free agents P.J. Pope and Andre Hall will see time in the second half.

Tennessee Rotations

Quarterback Billy Volek will start Saturday's preseason game at Denver, and will be replaced by Young in the second quarter, Coach Jeff Fisher said. Young is expected to play the third quarter before giving way to Matt Mauck. All the starters are expected to play about a quarter.

Broncos Rotations

Saturday against the Titans, the Broncos' starters will get a little more work than they did in Detroit. Whereas the offensive starters took only nine snaps against the Lions on Friday, they might get a little more than a quarter of work against Tennessee. Denver's regulars will play the most - roughly a half or even slightly more - in the team's third preseason game. And because that game, against the Texans, is on a Sunday (Aug. 27), the Broncos likely will try as much as possible to make the week of practice resemble a regular-season week.

Houston Rotations

the game plan is to play our starters for about a quarter and a half up to a half, depending on how many plays that is," Kubiak said. "Then we'll play our second team. Sometime in the fourth quarter, we'll bring in our threes (third team). "The starters could play an entire half."

ST.Louis Rotations

the starters are going to play more in the second game. don't know what that number is, but we certainly have that planned. We might not have a couple of those guys out there, but I think they might get a little bit more time."(On the quarterback rotation being the same as the first game) "I think we might rotate ita little differently. It will be similar as far as playing time, but try to put them in different situations than they played last game."

**bigboydan** · 08-18-06, 09:35 PM

Atlanta Rotations

Falcons Pro Bowl players Warrick Dunn, Keith Brooking and Alge Crumpler will not play in Saturday's exhibition game at Green Bay, but just about every other starter - including quarterback Michael Vick - will play through the first quarter, coach Jim Mora said.

Mora said Vick will play the first quarter. Backup quarterback Matt Schaub will play the second quarter with the rest of the first-teamoffense still in the game.

Green Bay Rotations

Quarterback Brett Favre may play "potentially two quarters" during Saturday's game against Atlanta, coach Mike McCarthy said, before Aaron Rodgers, Ingle Martin and Brian Wrobel finish the game.

**bigboydan** · 08-18-06, 09:37 PM

Cardinals Rotations

Starter Kurt Warner will play the first quarter, with Leinart taking over in the second and playing at least a full quarter. John Navarre will play in the third quarter, and it's possible Rohan Davey also could play.

New England Rotations

While Brady surely will start Saturday's preseason game against Arizona at Gillette Stadium, he might not see as much time as he has in the past in Week 2 of the preseason. That's because the Pats, for the first time since 2003, aren't playing the Thursday night regular-season kickoff game, and Belichick plans to treat the fourth preseason game, an Aug. 31 exhibition on the road against the New YorkGiants, more like a real tune-up for the opener. The past two years, Belichick didn't play his starters in the fourth exhibition. It's also possible the coaches want to see as much of backup QB Matt Cassel as possible.

**bigboydan** · 08-18-06, 09:40 PM

Carolina Rotations

After missing Carolina's exhibition opener last week against Buffalo, Smith's status for Saturday's game against Jacksonville hasn't been announced. If he plays, it probably won't be the full two quarters allocated for starters.

Jacksonville Rotations

The club hopes to play starter Byron Leftwich sparingly because of soreness in his throwing arm. Leftwich will play the first two series Saturday before Garrard enters the game. Jags fans can expect to see backup quarterback David Garrard taking the majority of the snaps in this week's preseason home opener against Carolina.The coach also wants to see No. 3 quarterback Quinn Gray take snaps earlier in a preseason game" to get a better evaluation of him against good people."

**bigboydan** · 08-18-06, 09:43 PM

Miami Rotations

Starters will play a little longer," Saban said, referring to last Saturday's 31-26 loss to Jacksonville. "If they played 12 to 15 plays last time, maybe they'll play a third more this time. It's not etched in stone, but they'll get a little more work."Saban then seemingly hinted at the status of quarterback Daunte Culpepper. If a player played six to eight plays last time, maybe he'll play 12 to 14 plays this time, not being specific to any one person," said Saban, who limited Culpepper to six snaps in his first game action.

Seahawks Rotations:

he Seahawks expect Hasselbeck to play slightly longer Sunday than he did in the exhibition opener. Seneca Wallace is expected to takeover at quarterback sometime after the first quarter, with Gibran Hamdan finishing the game. David Greene served as the third quarterback in the opener. "Matt will play maybe a little bit longer, but not (much) longer," Holmgren said.

Colts Rotations

Manning and the No. 1 offense are expected to log at least 18 plays against the Seahawks. The No. 1 defense also will see more extensive work,though it probably will be short-handed.

49ers Rotations:

Nolan said he expects quarterback Trent Dilfer to play in relief of Alex Smith against the Raiders. Dilfer, who sat out the exhibition opener as a precaution after undergoing offseason knee surgery, is expected to make his 49ers debut. Nolan said Dilfer's playing time will likely bridge the second and third quarters.

Trent Dilfer will probably relieve Alex Smith in the second quarter. Shaun Hill and Jesse Palmer also figure to get playing time, HC Nolan said.

**bigboydan** · 08-21-06, 11:31 AM

sonny, it's always a good idea to checkout this type of stuff especially in the preseason.

**bigboydan** · 08-21-06, 11:33 AM

Dallas Rotations:

Drew Bledsoe will start against the Saints. Tony Romo will play extensively against the Saints, but HC Parcells wants to make sure he gives Bledsoe an opportunity to be ready for the start of the season. "My two main players at quarterback will be Bledsoe and Romo," Parcells said. "I'm certain of that. I don't know if anyone else will play." Parcells has said he wants Romo to play at least eight quarters during the preseason so he can give owner Jerry Jones an accurate appraisal of his long-term future with the Cowboys. Drew Henson received minimal practice repetitions this week. Rookie free agent Matt Baker received longer looks. "I kind of like the way he throws the ball," Parcells said. "As I said, I'm just trying to take a look at him to make sure I don't miss something."

Saints Rotations:

the plan is for QB Todd Bouman to start the second half and play well into the fourth quarter after starter Drew Brees calls it a night. Jamie Martin, who received a significant amount of playing time in last week's preseason opener at Tennessee, likely won't play. Instead, fourth backup Jason Fife will probably see his first action late in the game. HC Payton is expected to play the first unit until halftime.
