Preseason Games


Recommended Posts

Would you rather see what our offense is going to look like in preseason? or

Would you rather see a vanilla offense and keep the good stuff for our regular season?

I personally could care less if we win a game in preseason and keep what we plan to do during the regular season under wraps.

I realize you have to work on some of the plays but showing off too much gives teams that we play early extra footage to game plan off of.

You'll see the base offense all of preseason as far as scheme. You won't see any of the twists that Norv has up his sleeve. I'm ok with that.

I think this is the best bet.  While teams will have all they need by our bye week.  The less information they have is only an advantage to us. 

We might win with our base offense because other teams may be doing the same thing. Winning those games aren't as important as coming out of preseason healthy and ready to go for game 1.

As much as I'd like to hold it under wraps til the regular season, we need to run it against live competition, granted they'll run vanilla defense, but it gives us an idea of how teams will line up and attack our packages

I’d like them to show a little because they’ll need to work on somethings in game situations under a new OC.

Opening up against Dallas doesn’t give us the luxury of sleep walking through the first game like we do almost every year.

We were lucky in 15 (Jax) and 17 (SF) to draw the opponents we did or those games could’ve very easily been different outcomes

    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
