My takeaways:
- Gilliken's leg is INSANE!!!
- Jones is a keeper as RB3.
- It's kinda crowded, but I like Ozigbo on the roster.
- Olave...yes, I'll have some more please!
- Penning is a beast on the runs. Let's work on that pass blocking though.
- Lutz! Welcome back Baby! We missed you!
- Hill seems like he's wound a little too tight. Maybe more reps with Dalton will show his worth?
- No real rough diamonds at WR beyond what we already have (plus Olave).
- Will Ruiz's obvious mental lapses ever end? I mean him actually picking up a Packer jersey downfield on that screen, instead of standing there gawking at the play still running probably cost a TD. Really, I'm done with this dude.
- Book. Don't need to read another chapter. Just close it because we know how it ends.

Honestly Ruiz just infuriates me. The way he just stared at Jones instead of looking for someone to block, then he just got pushed into Jones and made the tackle himself.

Just wait until the real games start.

The excuses are coming.

This was a reach in the 1st round.

I never liked Dennis Allen as a head coach. However, I’m not holding these pre season games against him. We saw a small glimpse of what I believe the Saints offense will look like on their first drive of the pre season. We also so what the defense is going to do in that first game as well. Half of these guys that were playing won’t be on the team soon. I can’t wait to see Winston, Kamara, Thomas, Landry, and Olave.

It's just preseason where the top players haven't played and the play calling is vanilla. I was impressed with Dennis Allen's one game as HC last year against the Bucs and I'm betting he learned a lot from the Raiders experience.
This team will be great when the studs are in.

I dont think preseason means anything but I do think previous regular seasons with other teams mean something. Based on that Dennis Allen’s tenure with the Raiders is more worrying than Jameis Winstons with the Bucs because a dumpster fire is harder to overcome than a mixed bag. I hope Dennis Allen becomes the next Belichick but I think the odds are that a consistent 4-12 guy does not make the playoffs. Its hard to reconcile with our improved roster but I feel DA is our biggest question mark, in addition to durability of an old and injury prone roster.
