I HATED that we made him DC.

Because I'm a dipshit, apparently. Guy has been awesome.

Now say the motto...Hooray Beer! Umm Hooray Meeks!

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.

[SorthNarolina]

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.

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

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.

Isn't the 3rd pre-season game the one teams gameplan for?

if we still dominate tomorrow, I'll be excited.

If the Tennessee starters are still in there in the third quarter and we are holding our own on defense, then I will be right with you.

[Lumps]

Yea I'll go ahead and admit during his time trying to get used to this team I hated the move and said he sucked but I am eating crow now for sure. I love you Meeks.

[SmootsDaddy89]

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

[SmootsDaddy89]

I'm talking about the first half btw.

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.

[SmootsDaddy89]

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.

Repeat after me:

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

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