No game planning in the pre-season....no problem.

Why don't we wait until the regular season before we get out the annointing oils.

Gotta agree, as much as I want to drink the koolaid about the defense, I don't want to get all built for disappointment.

The pre-season isn't a foolproof method of prediction but being the best in the preseason usually means you aren't going to do too bad. I think we'll be a top 10 defense this season.

Lets see how we do after tomorrow night. At this point we haven't exactly faced 2 great offenses and the starters only played 1 quarter each game. Young and Johnson should play at least a half this week.

It would be nice if the first team offense can get some touchdowns as well. Especially without Smitty, Otah, and Stewart. If we can put up AT LEAST 14 points tomorrow, and hold them to less than 10, I will start a thread about how I was right and panthers55 was wrong :)

Just so we can keep score, what was I wrong about? The defense??

I think I also said at the time that I hope I am wrong. Lets see how we hold up though, as I have said ad nauseum, we need depth as well especially if injuries hit like they seem to every year.

If this defense actually plays well this year, Meeks should be in line for Defensive Coordinator of the year if there were such an award.

well, I'm mainly interested in seeing how we do against Chris Johnson. The pass rush has been much better than even I expected, but we really haven't been tested against the run so far this pre-season. Tennessee will be our first MAJOR test.

Also I'm still very concerned about who, if anyone, can step up and be the #2 receiver. I was hoping either Jarrett or LaFell could be that guy, but neither have been extremely impressive. Though Jarrett hasn't been as bad as probably some expected that he would be.

We need to stop CJ and get someone not named Deangelo Williams on the stat sheet on offense.

I'm talking about the first half btw.

Repeat after me:

It is only the preseason and it doesn't count.

A half a game of football doesn't tell you much.............

      What's your confidence level in Canales?

      By flagfootballcoach28 · Posted

      Some of you who are not sold on Canales are insane. His main purpose was to turn around Bryce Young’s career and he did that. Of all of the teams in the top 10 of the NFL draft, we were the team that was consistently showing the most fight week in and week out. Our players never quit on the season. The offense which he is responsible for took a huge step forward compared to last year, despite the lack of skill talent  that we have. It was our defense that was a mess. That’s one of my critiques on Canales. He should’ve gotten rid of Evero and hired his own DC that shares the same vision. But as a whole, I can’t see how people are not pleased with what Canales did with this team. I’d give him an 9/10

      QB School: Bryce Young vs Falcons

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      One of the first thoughts after the game yesterday was that JT was going to jump all over it. He's been more favorable about BY from the beginning, and so yesterday must've felt like Christmas.

      Mock Draft from the 33rd Team

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Maybe, but they were always going to be an impossible team to accurately mocked right now. They have an absurd amount of cap room, what they need right now will not be what they need come draft day.  They can make multiple big splash signings and even make trades for players who need new contracts and their teams don't want to give it to them. OT and WR might be their two biggest needs right now, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to think they could go into the draft needing neither of them.  I think a LT will be their top FA priority, also think they're going to make a big offer to Higgins, and I could see them being a team in the running to trade for someone like DK Metcalf as they need a WR like him and they have the cap space to give him a big new contract.
