Penalty Situation Improving

[CooleyAsCanBe]

In another thread, BigSKIN Bauer posted a link to nfl.com's preseason stats. After noticing how well our offense was moving the ball (the reason he posted the link) I checked out how we ranked in penalties and was happy with what I saw.

We are tied for second for the least number of penalties received this preseason.

We are in fourth for the least number of yards lost to penalties this preseason.

I know last game had a few dumb penalties (too many men in the huddle, delay of game), but overall I have been very pleased with our ability to get plays off, and especially with the O-line's ability to avoid false starts. I remember games over the past few years when we would have three or four penalties in a row. A few time it moved us from field goal range to the other side of the 50. I hope the lack of penalties will continue and is a sign of our cohesion as a unit and good coaching.
