Thoughts from Pre Season Game 1

A few thoughts after the game last night. First, a win or loss, that’s not what we’re looking at here. We wanted to see what the players/team were made of.  After one pre season game it appears the team has an offesnive line issue. Not that that’s a new thing for this team, but really, it’s not good.  Mendenhall couldn’t get any penetration, Leftwitch was knocked around a bit and they just looked old. One pre season game does not a season make, but that was the glaring issue last night.  It also further makes our assertion that Dennis Dixon should start at QB while Ben’s out all the more true. He’s the most mobile, he seems pretty accurate with his throws and we think he’s ready. 

Another issue that may be a problem is the secondary.  The second string is not looking too good and that’s going to be a problem.  We’ll see next week on that one.

A positive note, Redman looked really good last night and very well may be a good 2nd back option.
