No game planning in the pre-season....no problem.

Why don't we wait until the regular season before we get out the annointing oils.

Gotta agree, as much as I want to drink the koolaid about the defense, I don't want to get all built for disappointment.

The pre-season isn't a foolproof method of prediction but being the best in the preseason usually means you aren't going to do too bad. I think we'll be a top 10 defense this season.

Lets see how we do after tomorrow night. At this point we haven't exactly faced 2 great offenses and the starters only played 1 quarter each game. Young and Johnson should play at least a half this week.

It would be nice if the first team offense can get some touchdowns as well. Especially without Smitty, Otah, and Stewart. If we can put up AT LEAST 14 points tomorrow, and hold them to less than 10, I will start a thread about how I was right and panthers55 was wrong :)

Just so we can keep score, what was I wrong about? The defense??

I think I also said at the time that I hope I am wrong. Lets see how we hold up though, as I have said ad nauseum, we need depth as well especially if injuries hit like they seem to every year.

If this defense actually plays well this year, Meeks should be in line for Defensive Coordinator of the year if there were such an award.

well, I'm mainly interested in seeing how we do against Chris Johnson. The pass rush has been much better than even I expected, but we really haven't been tested against the run so far this pre-season. Tennessee will be our first MAJOR test.

Also I'm still very concerned about who, if anyone, can step up and be the #2 receiver. I was hoping either Jarrett or LaFell could be that guy, but neither have been extremely impressive. Though Jarrett hasn't been as bad as probably some expected that he would be.

We need to stop CJ and get someone not named Deangelo Williams on the stat sheet on offense.

I'm talking about the first half btw.

Repeat after me:

It is only the preseason and it doesn't count.

A half a game of football doesn't tell you much.............

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
