Thanks Keith for your drive by drive review and analysis of the third preseason practice game.

While we had a rough start to the game, we seemed to have a good chance at winning the game at the end, and we got to analyze a lot of fairly young players in a new scenarios compared to prior times in this training camp. Some real hitting was going on this game.

I guess we'll see, I still think this year will be our best ever, and pretty good chance to get into the playoffs. Funny tasting coolaid.

I'm glad to see I wasn't off my rocker when I started calling for Rick Smith's head. I don't buy the plain vanilla preseason theory. They are supposed to be gearing up for the regular season. I can understand not unveiling the complete defense as any team already knows what the base defense is going to be from the previous season. It's the new wrinkles, coverages and stunts that I can see being held back but not the whole defensive scheme and philosophy.

#1 reason to fire Richard Smith is...

So people stop calling for our oustanding young GM's job.

Maybe we'll get a peak at what we are all wanting against T.B. this Thursday nt. But I am basically with Keith, I am fed up with Richard Smith's inept use of our defense todate.
