Preseason is an evaluation period not a competitive period, it is solely to decide what 37 players will not have a roster spot on September 1st. No one is playing full speed except for players trying to not be part of the 37. You can get a good bit of evaluation on those players but nothing team oriented or from the starters. Not to mention our defense takes 3 regular season games to get on step every year.

Only a fool would put what they plan to do in the regular season on display in the preseason...

'I am scared to say what I saw'... Am I going to need witness protection or something?

If you haven't put money down, then you are blowing smoke up your own ass about what you think you know. Seriously, I have seen predictions on the outcome of the first quarter of the season.

Ok me big shot abolish me for black and gold. U the same guy that said the same thing when we went 7-9 aha the chicken tree yep

Scratch Newhouse. We can find better after the final roster cuts.

Andrus PEAT ...

Didn't see him last night.

MT dropped a TD. Even the announcers stated wow he should have had that one so I know I was not the only one. 9/10 he hauls that in so it wasn't just backups whiffing but meh...it is still PS I agree. Not a big deal. We went undefeated in PS one year and then had one W I believe the whole season.

I am listening to u gumbo but some of the players that will be here as solid#2s did diddly squat. Bad tackling getting dominated by #2s & 3s but we are slow starters that’s a fact I’ll give y’all that. The guy who says preseason is not a competitive game is on crack no I apologize for that statement . He has never played in a football game. U go in any football game half asre u will be cut/ injured.

I didn't see **** because the solid core of the team didn't play a single snap together. I saw plenty of camp bodies going through the motions. Big whoopie! It means nothing to me.

That half of the team won't make the final 53. Right?
