Actually the 2nd and 3rd string O Lines were pretty damn good. Unlike last preseason where we went 3 and out every series because the line was so bad. They actually gave Thigpen ALOT of time, notice we went downfield because we had protection, and the game winning TD was down the field for a 27 yd. TD. It was nice to see our QBs not sacked in 2 seconds, and we could finally see what our WRs have. And they looked really good, i think its safe to say our WR core will be better than last year.

I knew Solari was bad...but wow, he makes Chan Gailey look like, I don't even know...a damn good football coach, that's for sure.
Like I said...that first series was the best offensive series we've had since Herm Edwards was hired. And good ol' Hootie was content with a FG once we hit 3rd and 15 before Croyle unleashed a beautiful throw to Franklin and Franklin held on even after getting popped by the safety for 25 yards... I was Hermified...but that 1st series showed me the light once again. |

The tackling was bullshit last night.
Everyone is going to run up our ass if that doesn't improve. There was NO excuse for the Wolfe check down pass for the TD. Brackenridge needs to be cut simply because of his performance last night. Brutal. Morgan didn't play well either. The LB's at the second level mis read and over ran plays. Pretty much looked like shit all over on defense.

I agree with pretty what everyone else has stated but the one thing that I took notice of is how much quicker this team is compared to years past. We are young but we will able to make some plays just because we are alot quicker on the field.

Gun hasnt really fixed anything in four years. The talent is better perhaps, but i hestitate to say he actually fixed anything.

First team held them to 3, thats not bad. It does sound like there is still a lot to be improved though. I think when Doresy comes back Tank should be moved over to Ron Edwards spot and just throw Harris back in the lineup over Thomas.

So many are down on the defense, but they did a much better job of filling gaps on run defense. I think they will be better against the run, but pass rush may not be as good as last year.
It looks to me like this years weak spots will be RG, DE & MLB. |

You can add safety and CB to that list, especially if we continue to NOT have a pass rush thats worth a shit.

1st team defense held them to 3 cause their offense sucks balls
What is the real difference on the d-line this year, just hali in a diff position and allen missing? Add Dorsey we should get pressure i hope |

1st string O didn't look half bad. Sippio was great late in the game IMO. Thigpen had a couple good tosses, but I felt he looked like sh*t for the most part.
As far as our defense you guys have talked about the lack of qb pressure and poor tackling, but did anyone else notice the constant wide open receivers in the flats ? It looked to me like for all 4 quarters that every time da Bears threw to the flats they had a wide open guy. Appeared to be more of a scheme issue than personell to me, as they were WIDE OPEN in the flats all night ? When they didn't throw to the flats we should've had 4 or 5 coverage sacks but the front four couldn't get past the line of scrimmage. |

1. We didn't crap our pants
2. Preseason D is so vanilla, you hardly ever see QB pressure. 3. We won a preseason game...unlike last year 3. We will be able to defend the bootleg since we will practice against it. 4. Cornerback play looked promising 5. We appear to have a real OC unlike the past |
