not the ideal way to start things off… yikes

Blah!

The defense seems to pressure Rex more than Orton.

But what the heck it’s the first preseason game.

Woo Hoo

with the imbalance of talent that they’re putting out on the field between to two QB’s turns with the “first team offense”. Hester/Davis/Forte does not equal Booker/Wolfe, even if Wolfe got loose for a TD that no writer that actually watched the game will give Rex credit for. I didn’t think it made sense when they announced it, and its obviously not the case on the field. So why set the expectation that the two will be on equal ground so that the media can have at it comparing the numbers? a real load of BS.

on a positive note, Forte looked GREAT, especially running out into the flat to catch the dump off that he turned into a first down.

as mentioned, Wolfe is showing reasons why he’s worth keeping on the roster – showing much more potential already than what we saw briefly last year.

Hanie’s TD pass was great, but his overthrow of Polite earlier on looked equally bad. I don’t think he’s impressive enough to make me think we shouldn’t be offering the Bucs their 6th round pick back for Simms.

Did anyone else think the defensive gameplan was pathetic? I know it is pre season, and will be pretty vanilla, but to not attempt one blitz? I am really concerned about the Bob Babich era and yearn for Rivera. How can we hope to be an aggressive defense when we sit back in this bend but don’t break defense. They should be attacking and it starts in the preseason. You just don’t turn on aggressiveness in the opener, it is tone throughout training camp and sokmething I didn’t see at hte game at all. Very dissapointing.
