Nevada-Fresno<\/h2>\n

Fresno<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> Bee<\/o:p><\/h3>\n

Tom Brandstater<\/span> will be the
\nstarting quarterback for Fresno<\/st1:PlaceName> State\u2019s season
\nopener Friday. Backup Shaun A backup to four-year starter Paul Pinegar<\/span> last season, Brandstater<\/span>
\nplayed in eight games, all during the end of blowout victories. He completed 6
\nof 13 passes for 48yards, one touchdown and one interception. Norton, last year\u2019s
\nfourth-string and scout-team quarterback, has yet to suit up for a game in his
\ntwo years. Despite a change in offensive coordinators this offseason, Fresno<\/st1:PlaceName>
\nState\u2019s playbook has remained the same under new assistant Steve Hagen. In Brandstater<\/span>, Fresno<\/st1:PlaceName>
\nState<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> enters the Nevada<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>
\ngame with a strong-armed quarterback who can attack downfield and take
\nadvantage of one-on-one matchups<\/span>.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Receivers have raved about Brandstater\u2019s<\/span>
\ndeep-ball accuracy since last season. But it\u2019ll be his pre-snap ability to line
\nthe Bulldogs in the correct formation and set up the running game that likely
\nwill keep him on the field. With running back Dwayne Wright appearing to be
\nhealthy after a knee injury suffered two years ago, Fresno<\/st1:PlaceName>
\nState<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> is expected to rely heavily
\non the run. The Bulldogs also might throw more screen passes to take advantage
\nof their experience and agility on the offensive line, where four of five
\nstarters return from last year. Such plays could make it easier on Brandstater<\/span> to distribute the ball to playmakers Wright and
\nreceiver Paul Williams. Bet

Scripps Howard<\/h3>\n

Tom Brandstater<\/span>, the guy who is
\nsupposedly the leading candidate for that job, completed 13 of his 34 passes in
\nthe past two scrimmages.<\/p>\n

Eagles-Jets<\/h2>\n

Philadelphia<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> Daily News<\/o:p><\/h3>\n

Also participating in parts of practice yesterday were
\ndefensive end Jerome McDougle<\/span> and defensive tackle
\nDarwin Walker, who have been sidelined the past few weeks with rib injuries.
\nAndy Reid said McDougle<\/span> and Walker might play Friday
\nagainst the Jets; that might be especially useful for McDougle<\/span>,
\nwho was trying to carve out a niche for himself after missing last season to
\ncomplications from a gunshot wound. Reid said that wide receiver Todd Pinkston
\nfelt good in the wake of his first preseason action on Friday,
\nthat<\/span> he reported no swelling in his bothersome Achilles\u2019 tendons. He
\nsaid there is a chance Pinkston will get some work in this Friday\u2019s preseason
\nfinale at the Jets, a game starters usually sit out. Bet the NFL now at -107 juice<\/span><\/span>! Check out the latest odds<\/span><\/a> at CanBet<\/span><\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Curtis Martin will not play and will begin the year on PUP
\nlist.<\/p>\n

Sun-Sentinel<\/h3>\n

Jets QB Chad Pennington will not play in Friday\u2019s
\npreseason game against the Eagles. Patrick Ramsey, Brooks Bollinger and Kellen<\/span> Clemens will split time in that game and continue to
\ncompete not only for depth chart placement but a spot on the roster.\u00a0 <\/span>Bet the NFL now at -107 juice<\/span><\/span>!

Colts-Bengals<\/h2>\n

Tribune Star<\/h3>\n

The Colts don\u2019t have much time to prepare for the game but
\nthat doesn\u2019t appear to be a major concern. According to Indianapolis coach Tony
\nDungy, few of the team\u2019s offensive or defensive starters will see much, if any,
\nmeaningful playing time. Despite another sluggish performance by the Colts\u2019
\nrunning game in Saturday\u2019s win over New Orleans<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>,
\nDungy remains confident in the abilities of the team\u2019s running backs. Dominic
\nRhodes and Joseph Addai<\/span> combined for 34 yards in 16
\ncarries against the Saints. Bet this game now through BetUs<\/span>.<\/span><\/span> Check out the

Indy Star<\/o:p><\/h3>\n

If this preseason\u2019s<\/span> trend holds
\ntrue, Manning and the first team will play one series. The Colts have scored
\ntouchdowns on opening drives in each of the three games. While the Colts
\nsnapped an eight-game preseason losing streak with a 27-14 victory over New
\nOrleans<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> on Saturday, one area of concern is kickoff
\ncoverage. The Saints averaged 32.2 yards on six returns.<\/p>\n

The <\/span>San Francisco<\/span><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> defense has been overmatched in its past two exhibition games
