Did a pretty good job last year and now more weapons to cook with…got confidence. Nothing of the preseason has swayed this.

My concerns right now…my main one is on defense:

1. can we really stop the run on defense
2. How injured is Samuels
3. Is Hopkins gonna be a problem

Our offense was slow out the gate every game last season. You see the same thing this preseason. Now I know that preseason is a different ball of wax, but so far under Turner we have seen I believe one opening possession TD. Until we see consistent offensive play for 4 quarters he and his playcalling will be my biggest concern.

This is 100% how I feel. I have zero concerns about the defense at this point, other than - how much are they going to be on the field...? It is now 19 out of 20 games now that Turner's offense hasn't even lucked into a first possession TD. It's pitiful. Yeah, we haven't seen C Samuel (also could be concerning), and it's preseason, but the whole body of work since he was brought on as the OC isn't impressive.

The starting offense must be really balling out on the practice field for the staff to feel comfortable with what they (we) have seen from them in the preseason games. They (players/coaches) are all eluding to this when asked about it. I hope it is reality.

Yeah, to me, the offense is concerning.

Why do so many people care about pre season? I don't get it. If they played and McLaurin twists his knee then everyone would be yelling about why were starters were on the field.

This offense isn't going to light up the scoreboard, no matter how much they play in pre season. My guess is they're going to be up and down just cause where we are at talent wise. It's a middle of the pack group.

As far as Samuel goes, perhaps they don't want him out there for whatever reason. He's a vet and knows how to get himself ready. He doesn't need pre season.

Last year really convinced me preseason is kinda overrated. Not so much for the depth players trying to make a roster, but for the starters.

If the defense wants to be considered elite it will have to stop the run. I’m not convinced we can consistently.

I agree. We know the front four will do their job, so it really depends on how the LB group has improved, along with run support from the secondary.

Yup. Its why we are usually playing from behind. I wonder how many first downs we have on opening drives let alone touchdowns.

My over under for first drive touchdowns is 3.

I haven't seen anything this year that indicates they've gotten over their slow start to games.
