i want to see this offense get as much practice in as possible in the preseason. not just the offensive line but the entire offense. i’m not as worried about the defense. but with a new quarterback. a new offensive line. and a new coordinator. it’s important that this team get off to a quick start.

again. the defense is mostly intact. so i worry less. but i’d like to see this offense get an entire half against tennessee.

awesome. sounds like seattle is in complete disarray!

bwahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not really too bothered at this point. but if these problems keep coming up in game 3, i’ll be disappointed.

but no. they did not look like a dominant defense in the less than 1 quarter that they played against oakland. not sure what that means though.

The second fight came on play later and lasted a few minutes and led to a helmet-less Dez Bryant getting punched by Rams cornerback Imoan Claiborne. Rams rookie running back Todd Gurley, who is coming back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, was also involved.

gulp!

one guy i was worried about was ogletree. but you keep reading good things about this guy. sounds like he’s maturing. the thing that did him in last year. showing up out of shape. that seems to have disappeared. he’s lost weight. he’s been studying film all offseason. sounds like williams has got him hungry for more.

mcdonald was rated the best safety in the entire league for the second half of the season by pro football focus. he’s entering his third season. he along with ogletree should thrive in this defense. if their heads were swimming last year, they are now entering training camp with a solid foundation on which williams can continue to add different things for offenses to have to think about.

brockers is finally settling into the position he should have been playing all along instead of trying to make him something he is not. more importantly he seems to love doing the dirty work and sacrificing himself for his teammates.

robert quinn was disappointed by last season. i think he comes in extra motivated to get off to a fast start. just in terms of pure physical ability he has to be the most impressive specimen on this unit. he’s gonna want to get back to being the best 4-3 defensive end in the league.

and donald is donald. i think he’s that rare guy who matches his athleticism with an even more impressive will to be the best. i don’t expect a sophomore slump. already rated the best 4-3 defensive tackle by pro football focus, how much further can he take it? with quinn and donald feeding off each other’s talent, can this defensive line finally live up to the hype?

at all three levels, they’ve got at least one guy poised to become a superstar and possibly the best at his position. they have to realize that they are in a special place in time which should be even more motivation to create something special.

well. second year in the same system. lots of players entering their third and fourth years as a pro. so you’d think the mental errors would go down.

just seems like this defense is ready.

to me. and obviously i’m biased. but jones would seem to be the most qualified there. he’s done that for a national championship team. even got in the quarterback’s face because he got the wrong call. his mental makeup is off the charts. he’s smart. he’s a leader. a healthy jones in my opinion has to be the favorite.

i plan on watching it live.

i’d laugh at the niners’ misfortune if it wasn’t such a sad story for aldon. i hope he gets it together.

three years to evaluate nick foles. and bring some stability and maybe win some games.

and who knows? maybe mannion will emerge by end of 2017.

i think the person i’ll be most focused on this preseason is greg robinson. can’t wait for the preseason games to start.

the dline is going to be very good. we all know this. but the keys i think are ogletree and mcdonald. those two are x factors especially with gregg williams coordinating.

like what i’m hearing about ogletree so far. want to hear more about mcdonald.

tavon is what he is i’m afraid. and a new qb isn’t going to change that. if tavon is to improve this season, it’s going to be up to tavon. not foles or cignetti or anyone else. we’ll see.

i’m liking already what i’m reading about alexander. at the very least there should be some good competition there.

the todd gurley era begins. i’m excited. i just got this feeling about him. dare i say he seems to have that inner drive in him that aaron donald has. that’s just from my limited experience of observing him. but coming into camp and exceeding the coaches’ expectations regarding conditioning is certainly a good sign.

i’m optimistic about cignetti, but how much can he really do? offensive line needs to be healthy, and they need to somehow incorporate three new starters. 2 with possibly no nfl experience at all. foles needs to stay healthy and play better than he did last year. and the wide receivers need to step up. oh yeah. and gurley has to get healthy and be the top 5 pick everyone projected a healthy gurley to be.

no problem right?
