There have been so many things said by the coaching staff and even by people on here that should make us have faith. We do have the best coaching staff in the NFL period. People made reference to Brunell having a smirk on his face when interviewed after the Pats loss. Fauria was interviewed and told everyone to calm down and note that this is preseason. Saunders and Gibbs have both said they are taking preseason as just a practice in game speed. They have only shown 2% of the play book. In practice behind closed doors we are firing on all cylinders and that is what matters. Why should we come out and pull a Spurrier and run the score up on teams in the preseason and show everything we are capable of, just to have teams watch film and figure out how to defend it. Look at the stats for the preseason of our receivers in 4 games:

Moss - 3 catches for 30 yards
Randle El - 3 catches for 49 yards
Lloyd - 3 catches for 42 yards
Cooley - 3 catches for 25

Do you think we really utilized these players? We had them in, they showed us a few things and then we went ot the back ups. Brunell was throwing to Espy and Buck... this is not who we are... But those averages of those four above look pretty good. Imagine what it will be like for a real game.

And least we forget, we saw one series out of Portis and then it was Betts. Heck Brunell threw less than 10 passes a game?

We have to have faith and realize we were watching a bunch of backups and Gibbs and company did not want to risk having our playmakers/stars get a season ending injury..

Have faith Sept 11 we play for real and we are going to look sweet.
