HUGE difference from 2009 preseason to 2010 present!

Still trying to figure out just what kind of team we're going to be. Don't put too much stock in preseason games, they're basically played for the purpose of evaluation and a process for elimination.

Two things I've witnessed so far that must be improved upon....running the ball and stopping the run. Stats, I'm not so much concerned about at this time.

The red flag is going up for me if they can't begin to stop the run -- that's definitely a concern.

I just posted in another thread that our running game is lacking now because there are three new guys on the line who have yet to play a full game together -- to get a sense of how they're going to gel as a unit. There simply hasn't been enough time for them to develop chemistry just yet. Remember, only Dockery and Rabach have playing time with each other.

I'm not worried about the rushing attack yet.

I'm impressed with the physicality of the o-line. Should they continue to play with drive and determination, the running game should improve. I agree with the assertion that the more reps they get together, the more the production should increase.
