I wouldn't say the offense looked great weak 1.

You have to realize the outcomes of the game could of been different if the starters played all 4 quarters. I really feel secure starters don't even try in preseason, nobody wants to get hurt.

Which is why the defense needs to be stellar and you have to agree they were less than against Philly.

You can't judge a defense or offense in preseason. Like it said none of the people locked for a roster spot even try. Nobody wants to get hurt, it's like the probowl. Most people consider Philly to have a top ten offense. Giving up 14 points to a top 10 offense isn't bad.

I don't agree with the "Nobody tries during preseason" notion. Everybody tries. Everybody is doing their level best to do what the coaches want them to do. Even the entrenched starters.

We have done nothing but run basic plays with an eye towards evaluation. Seeing how the players react to situations. Who can or cannot hold their own. Who can keep their lane. Who knows what to do in certain situations.

If you want a team that is going to pull out all the stops in a preseason game. A Ron Rivera coached team is not going to be your cup of tea.

I seriously doubt most starters put much into preseason games. How could they? I would assume these games are hated by the regulars.

Hated or not. Do you really think Rivera would let anyone half azz it? Plus, half azzing it is the surest way to get hurt.

Kraken pinched down, and did not hold his edge on Kolb's TD run. You don't think that wasn't brought up during film? Everyone gets critiqued. Not just the kids. Everyone. It is a teaching tool. And this staff is chocked full of teachers.

I know it is a popular belief that established players half azz preseason. It just is not true. At least not on a Ron Rivera coached team it isn't.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.

      At least we have Mike Kay and his little buddy sidekick whoever to put you to sleep when suffering from insomnia. They're all useless unfortunately.
