And the new front four on D, definitely had more pressure. I'll wait until Preseason Game #3 to make my judgment. |

Tackling needs improvement too. Brady would have eaten that up if it was a real game. 5 yrds a carry by any team will wear our D out early and we all know how that goes. Penetration seemed better from what was said so that was a plus.

Re: The future look bright!!
Some of the players looked great and it's easy to get excited but I understand the posters that are not impressed with what they saw. Just my opinion but last years biggest problem on defense was stopping the run and there wasn't anything Thursday night to suggest they've gotten any better.
2015 vs run - 4.9 ypa Thursday vs run - 5.0 ypa I'll remain optimistic and believe they'll get better as they gel. |

Re: The future look bright!!
The other thing about the future looking bright...
We aren't set up to win in the future we are set to win NOW. Bree's isn't getting any younger. We don't have a replacement on our roster for when he does that was evident. Our future looks like 8-8, 7-9, 8-8, 8-8, 7-9. |

Some of them looks great but you can also see the issues that have plagued us over the past few years still here and that should still cause for concern. |

this team has got to get over the penalty/turnover and lack of takeaway stereotype in order to be competitive. |

Re: The future look bright!!
It looks bright, but only if...
They find a way to get on the + side of the turnover ratio, They run stop a lot better, They open field tackle like the other guy stole something... Brees stays healthy. |

The front four gives me hope for a bright future.
