So much overreaction about the preaseason. Theismann should know better than that. How many times have we been completely fooled?
True. My wife claims that the worse they play in preseason, the better they play in the regular season.
Years ago, during Gibbs I, the Skins had a horrible preseason. Before the first game, my wife urged me to get Super Bowl tickets, explaining to me what she had observed about the team. I laughed at what she said and I didn't buy the tickets.
Sure enough, the Skins went to the Super Bowl that season - in beautiful San Diego, no less.

Wow. Just wow. I mean Reed is effin wide open huh? Jeez. That is concerning. Two more weeks to fix it.
Had all day to throw as well. Embarassingly bad. And I don't know how jumping in the air to throw the ball and running out of bounds 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage have anything to do with learning a new system.

We sure as hell don't want our QBs running OB and taking a 5 yard sack when just tossing the ball out of bounds would put the ball back at the original line of scrimmage! Pro Quarterbacking 101.
Thanks I thought maybe I was the only one who noticed that. Lol

They are straight up brain farts and it worries me alittle. Im not going to lie.

we are who we thought we were.
our pass rush looked great. balt radio talking heads are worried how rak bested monroe and how kerrigan constantly abused their RT with the same move. saying flacco as under pressure the entire half. their O line got no push as evidenced by the 4-1s.
our secondary has not been tested yet with vanilla offenses, come regular season i think this is going to be a huge problem leading to many losses.
its preseason.

BW and Amerson look good though.

our secondary = 5 win season.
come regular season, if the pass rush doesnt get there on every play, the secondary will be exposed. its a calculated gamble and defense approach we are taking this season. probably forcing the scheme choice bc of the personnel we have bc we neglected a huge area of need this offseason. play to our strengths (pass rush) and try to minimize the exposure of our weak spot (secondary) isnt the worst approach but it is limited and one dimensional.
if we cant consistently create pressure bringing 4-5 guys, we will have a huge problem bc you cant bring 6 or more every down.
our achilles heal will be targeted by offensive coordinators come reg season. im not sold on our secondary being serviceable in the reg season bc they werent tested in the preseason.

I dont think its the greatest secondary of all time, but its honestly the least of my worries at this point. Now if you want to vent about the offense have at it. Lol

More like High School Quarterbacking 101.
I don't see the secondary has a huge issue either. Certainly not when compared to last year.
