I do however think they made a mistake coming into camp so late, especially after adding so many new pieces (and a new offensive system with only one coach brought in to teach it - saunders didn't bring his crew like GW did, he came solo (his son doesn't count)).

I think mis-using the preseason will in all likelyhood ensure a slow start on offense (like last year). I think a lot of people forgot we went from 3-0 to 5-6 before pulling it out. Our offense was beyond worthless for 13% of the season (1hour and 56 minutes (two weeks) of a 16 hour season) and we really weren't a good team until the end.

I also kinda wonder what's with bringing in all these new guys so late... I mean it's better than doing nothing, but we knew the skins needed kicking help and depth since the draft ended.

whatever. we have some easy games and if griffin et al are back by week 1, our D should give the offense some cushion to find itself again.

I just wish they blocked and tackled well enough that saunders didn't feel the need to give a 45 minute interview on how everything is going according to plan.
