Understandable, but as you have probably been a skins fan a long time, watching preseason games, etc...you know that 1's vs 1's is important to assess real issues that usually translate to the early regular season...however, the 2's have been looking much better than other teams 2's....now I'd prefer it the other way around...but i'll take it...because many times, todays 2s are tommorrows 1's (if they are just young, which they are)
My point is about depth. We are far less vunerable to injury now because the dropoff is less dramatic that it usually has been....and regarding Spurrier...he has his 1's against 2s and 3s...and the ones were guys like Danny Wuerfull, guys that no other team would carry. And Shannahan aint on rookie coach like him or Zorn...he has won Superbowls. Take a look at penalties...3?...really? for scrubs?...that is really outstanding, execution was there, I liked the way they ran at the end to get film on the linemen and the FB and to create cohesion. So I am not super excited, but after a preseason you can generally make a good guess of their record...this is a 6-10 or 7-9 team right now. We lack a solid secondary and a solid Oline. At least having one of those solid is essential for winning, unless you have a hall of fame QB or something, which we do not.
