What should we be looking for/at in the 1st Pre-Season Game.

I'll be interested to see how teams approach this preseason vs ones in the past. These games are more important than they've ever been.


I agree. I think this preseason will be treated more like the regular season than in the past.

I'm looking for all of these young guys that were drafted this year and last to get on the field and get some game time.

I know it's still early but I'm worried that Brandon banks doesn't make the team. One of the NFC east teams will surely sign him. And whether shanahan admits it or not. He's a difference maker.

Are they down on this guy or something cause of the stabbing? He's probably the only game breaker on the team. He can flip the field position. No way he doesn't make the team.

All this man-crush on Banks kills me. No team in all this time has bothered to put him on their team, even when he was on our practice squad last year. Zilch. Nobody. (including NFC East teams) That is even after the fact that freaking Devin "i'd rather be modeling than learning football" Thomas got picked up by not one, but two teams. (one being a NFC East team)

He's 150lbs. He doesn't contribute jack at the WR spot. At least Hester, Cribbs, and many other of the KR/PR contribute at some level at the WR spot.

Who gives a damn how much he weighs? Look at what he did when his ass got on the field. He's not much of a wr right now but coach the guy up. Way to valuable on teams to let him go.

All that was true last year but the new rules kill him. He will only be returning punts if he does make it

I'm just so excited. I expect there to be a lot of subsituting. How much game shape are players in?

I want to see Helu's first time at looking like a young Clinton Portis.

That would be incredible.

I still remember CP's first run as a Skin like it were yesterday.

NO INJURIES!!! I'm interested in the overall look of both the offense and defense. The line play on both sides of the ball has to show improvement or its going to be a long year. If the guys upfront do their jobs, everything else will fall in line. Beck or Grossman?

Of course, no injuries first.

Then, I want to see if the 3-4 actually looks like a 3-4 this season, instead of a group 4-3 players playing out of position.

Kicking competition should be interesting. Graham is a proven kicker but Gano has the upside.

I want to see pass protection from the RB position with Portis' blocking gone and possibly Sellers too. We know Hightower can block, but what about Helu, Royster, Young?
