Q: What have you seen from Markus Kuhn so far in these first two preseason games? We’ve seen him with the first team almost all summer. What has he done to earn that trust in you guys?
A: Well, he’s a big, strong guy. We’ve talked an awful lot about stopping the run, and he can hold the point in there, which he’s done over and over. He’s very smart, and so we look at him as a guy that can anchor down in there and can knock back off the ball. And he’s pretty much done that.
Unless he's the last man standing on the DL, MK is NOT starting on opening day..He may not even make the 53 imo

Agree BB56. But it begs the question: Why is this guy taking valuable reps away from Bromley and Ellis?

A lesson? As Mort C has said in the past(and still the most brilliant description of TC, imo), "Coughlin doesn't take a piss without a plan." Seriously, I am not concerned at all..
Year after year, we'll see a bubble guy get a lot of reps to see if they can shine. If they do, they stick - if they don't, they get cut.
I believe Kuhn is at that stage right now.

HA!! FUNNY!

So one hopes, from all I read here.

The year before you had Barden, Sash, Marvin Austin and Ojomo.
You'll see a pattern where in preseason games 2 and 3 where guys get extended looks. That isn't good.
Now, I will admit that TC's comments are a bit unusual, but I'm hoping it is more to show other players that if you work hard, you'll get noticed - and then they cut Kuhn:)
I saw more from Bromley in his first five snaps vs Jax than Kuhn has shown in his career. If he makes this club I'll start to question TC in a serious way for the first time since he took the reins.

I think running with the starters and the team captain bit is overkill if they just want to give him an extended look. I have an awful feeling he's somehow going to be the opening day starter.
No TC is not going to raw guy at a press conference.
