Re: 4th and 20 D was Sean's call
I keep hearing how meaningless preseason is, but its weird how this looked exactly like the team we watched lose last year in the regular season.
Both lines getting punked. Defense giving up big stupid plays, on 3rd & 4th & long. Stupid penalties. Anyone who cant figure out where to line up, or how to figure out where the line of scrimmage is, shouldnt play football. No pass rush. Poor blitz pickup. Some flashes of offense. Looks like the backups are chips off the old starters blocks. It sure looks like real problems to me. For now, we suck. |

WTF is the pressure going to coming from because Cam Jordan is going to bring it consistently... |

I think he's just covering for Rob.

Who cares; it's preseason... What better time to try it and see how it works out?

I remember in Sean's first year here we went 1-3 in pre-season. It wasn't just the record that looked bad. I remember we got blown out by Dallas in one of those games, 30-7. They looked completely inept and were coming off that 3-13 season. We all had high hopes for Brees, but it just looked like the team was too bad. Well, we all remember how that season ended up, and we beat that same Dallas team 42-14, or whatever it was. Now we could have an identical performance in this pre-season and end up being bad. The point is that it tells us almost nothing. That's just how I see it. I'm not justifying any of the bad, but I've seen too many weird things in these games to really form an actual opinion over it. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Suffice to say, we look like complete garbage now, but that doesnt mean I wont be there for the opener, and I'll be there all season, raising hell, and I BELIEVE. |
