I've been thinking about that first preseason game and I don't know how much we're going to get out of it (the fans that is). I'm guessing the first string may only play a series or two, with a shortened off season it may be too risky to play these guys for very long and I also think the offensive and defensive play calls will be very bland. Remember last year our defense looked pretty awful in the preseason but we knew Mike Nolan wasn't throwing anything out there for people to pick up on.
Offense looked awful last year as well but they couldn't even execute simple plays and that carried over into the season. We're 5 days away from getting our first look at this team. I like preseason just to get a look at our depth and some of the rookies. I'm anxious to see Devlin, Gates, Livas, Clay and any surprises we weren't expecting...like Bess in 2008.
