I'm glad our first team guys finally got some reps in... but I don't put much stock into the game itself. I don't see it as a measuring stick to anything.

No, we played bleach white vanilla. We face the Falcons in week one. We are giving nothing away at all on either side of the ball. But, I see the game as a measuring stick of very base talent from top to bottom of the two squads. The Saints came out on top easily.

I agree with Asylum Guido. We're NOT going to show much with a division rival/potential division competition FTW first game of the season! We're not even playing intra conference.... it's Falcons first up.

That said, defense looked very preseason type. I'm a little concerned with the o-line play so far. So key matchups where folks got beat was disappointing, but we won't know until the season starts correct?

The didn't play like they could, but I don't believe Rob Ryan was going to show his full hand in preseason. Cam Jordan is going to be a great fit in this defense this year though.

They will improve each week, once we have the roster set.
