What? That Colt would come in with the 2nd team? Little birdie said it was likely
That Chase would play with the 3rd team? Wishful thinking

Well, if you are right (which you are usually are, lol) then I don't know how I would feel about this.. Even though it might be good thing, as in getting younger wise.. But nothing can beat experiences, which Collins has..

We will find out soon enough..

I would like to point out that they are last season's SB Champs. Calling them the SB Champs is misleading. They do not get an automatic slot in the Playoffs to defend their title just because they won the SB last season. Sorry, I just hate that term SB Champs and Defending SB Champs. They were the SB Champs until August, they aren't the Champs anymore.

As far as what I want to see, I pretty much agree with Rajmahal33.

real game day effort and indications they are going to be ready to roll come sept.

zorn has taken it easy on the fellas and i think it showed in balt. we cant take it easy and hope things click by the time we face the giants. we need to start coming together as a team now and the only way to do that is to play the 1st team O and D, not this "no portis, moss, AH" crap. \

play the 1st teamers through the 1st quarter. if the O has 2 3nouts by the end of the 1st quarter leave them out there till they start getting things right.

things will not magically come together in reg season if zorn doesnt start busting tails aout there.

rhythm, consistency, some semblance of balance. Would like the offense to spend more than 5 minutes on the field for the whole game.

So, for all those who have been screaming to work harder, seems like we are starting to see more payoff in the form of injuries. Granted we would see them eventually, but I think that they got 3 solid weeks of TC in before any real injuries were reported (not saying Cooley's back spasm is a "real injury"). I think that's what is most important, making it through TC without losing any one for the season.

JC going through all his progressions and if nothings there Id like to see him make something happen with his feet. He must show that he is playing for a contract and that there is some since of urgency that he wants the team to win,all in what little playing time he gets.

It will be interesting to see how our o-line holds up against a good Steelers defense. Fletch has some good things to say after practice.

Maybe I'm too pessimistic but I think Dan and Vinny have set Zorn and Campbell up for failure on offense. Pittsburgh after the Ravens is hard to swallow, but we need to look extremely good on offense or else we're looking at a very poor season. And that's what Snyder wants so he can fire Zorn and get rid of Campbell. I hope I'm wrong about this.

Really, I just don't get it. We have to look good - in preseason - on offense against last years number 1 and 2 D's or we are going to have a real poor season, when the only tough D's we play in the regular season are our division(not the AFC West, maybe Carolina and the Saints, not StL or Detroit). If we hold our own, I mean no mental mistakes, JC not being sacked all through the first half, and we can move even a little bit then I would say the season looks good. But, it's silly to pound my head against this mentality of "Performance Now".

The win - loss in this game doesn't matter, what matters is do the coaches and player get closer to being on the same page.

I firmly believe, if a good coach knows exactly what his players can do, and if 53 players all know exactly what is expected of them, then they can come out and beat ANY team in the NFL. I think that's the key to preseason. We will see if they figure it out.

Of course we could always see a Spurrier moment where Zorn plays his starters well into the 3rd quarter, and blows out the Steelers. At least we would all feel good.

Are you saying that Dan and Vinny made our schedule?

Your crazy. Dan wants to win more than any of us. He brought Dockery back, if they fail its there fault. We have Cooley,Portis,Moss those 3 alone can take over a game.We must find some way to hit on all 8-cylinders. Theres enough players here that have the skill, but can they show them when it counts.

I want to see the first team offense stay in the game until they score. I don't care if they leave them in until the Steelers fourth defense is in. After that, I could care less what else happens other than no injuries, good special teams play.
