Re: What will you be watching for this preseason?

I'm not sure we're going to get much of a look at the first team offense until the season starts. Sounds like Zorn isn't against holding out key guys and of course there's the injury situation which limits what he can do.

Re: What will you be watching for this preseason?

I want to see all players grasping the offense. If it's a vanilla offense and the team can't run it, there's an issue. I dont care if it's first team or 2nd team. Looking forward to seeing all the rookies. Brooks, Rheinhart, Tryon, Davis especially. I also hope to see Marcus Mason running the rock.

Matty, along with injuries limiting what he can do, the smaller rosters limit him from playing a ton of no name players.

Re: What will you be watching for this preseason?

First I want to see all our starters make it through this time of year healthy and injury free. I'm really interested in what our O will look like under Zorn. I know we probably will not see too much until the 3rd and 4th preseason game if we even see him open it up much then.

Re: What will you be watching for this preseason?

Im just looking to see us make it through the pre-season without any major injuries....and maybe see a little of what this offense has in the tank and not to mention a glimpse of what we are getting with JT would do it too.

Re: What will you be watching for this preseason?

On D, Torrence & Tryon, maybe Wilson too if he gets some good time. Would like one of those reserve LBs to make an impression. ST. Clair? Also, Rob Jackson at DE, he should get plenty of reps.

On O, the 2 & 3 qb's will be interesting to watch. Talk about a contrast in circumstances; one is old in a new system, and one is a rookie.
I'd like to see how they play the backup O-line; Heyer at LT, Rinehart at LG? Who will play C?

Of course, I'm eager to see the wr's just like most of us are, but if Kelly's hamstring is a little sore I imagine he sits out as well.

Re: What will you be watching for this preseason?

I want to see how Jim Zorn behaves on the sidelines as a head coach. Will he be a stoic overseer a la Gibbs/Holmgren? Or more animated and in-your-face a la Cowher/Gruden?

I can see JZ being pretty animated, seeing as he ran down Smoot after an INT during OTAs and with his dodgeball drill. He just seems like a character. I think he'll be pretty into it on the sidelines. I wasn't all that intrigued by how handles himself on the sideline before you mentioned it, but now, I am.

Re: What will you be watching for this preseason?

I'm looking forward to seeing what Kelly, Thomas, and Davis can do. I'm also interested to see how Colt Brennan does, since we'll be seeing him alot, early.

I will be nice to see some football, but we just can't draw too much from the preseason. Although, we have drawn one important conclusion from prior preseasons...our backups were horrible. We found out that was accurate. Now that we have some draft picks it's a little more interesting.

With Kelly and Thomas both out this weekend, isn't anyone excited to see the awesomeness of Anthony Mix?

Re: What will you be watching for this preseason?

I'd like to see if this team has a new attitude. I remember two years ago when we ended up with a losing record, the team lost all of their pre-season games...and there was a non-chalant attitude from the coaches about not winning a single pre-season game. Granted that pre-season is not the regular season, but I'd like to see this team to have a winning attitude (especially those players that are competing for a spot on the roster).
