Our team has not shown us a great deal to be excited about this preseason. And you certainly have the right to be concerned and pull out your worry beads.

However, this appears to be Coach Gibbs style in the preseason. No team deserves to be crowned the class of the division until they earn that title on the gridiron. I'm holding off on the coronation ceremony, but I'm optimistically checking on good seating for that event.

There is a lot of football yet to be played, injury situations to addressed, game planning to be established, etc.. I would caution against drawing bold conclusions about the upcoming season based on the preseaon play. I don't look at this as 'Tune Up Time" but rather as "Audition Time". We can all relax and laugh at some of the poor audtions and appreciate the players with talent.

Cheers!
