Wonder whose calling plays tonight. Zimmer said he would experiment with giving that up in preseason. Smith has given up 2 TDs.

Excuses. We arent the only team in this boat. Det, lost their OL as well.

I was thinking the D would regress and the O would improve a bit just because of the OLine and they'd wind up 8-8 again. But man this is brutal. I know it's just preseason but sheesh

Sam is horrible. Throw it so guys can catch and run.

Anyone wanting Sam over Teddy should examine their eyes. He throws a better deep ball but is deficient everywhere else. No sense of timing and we have yet to see a 3rd and 9.... 3 yard pass.

Cook looks like the real deal. Seems to consistently get the tough yards...

Losing Capt will hurt us. We have made horrible changes this offseason.
You're replacing captain with Newman who played better than captain last year. And I'd love to know what those "horrible changes" consist of

Treadwell has already matched his season total for catches in this game.
