Yeah, it's easy for fans to just wanna see this game behind us and start the preparation for the regular season.
But for the players who are wanting to give a legitimate performance that could get their names written on the list of 53, this is what makes Game 3 special to all the 'bubble' players around the league. Even a guy who becomes among the last to be cut could find themselves called in by some team who is desperate to fill a spot, even if it is only to add some quality depth.
It's a tough business. But as you said it is a dream that most of these kids have been holding onto since their first Pop Warner game. Tonight could be their last chance to shine.
