Excellent post!!

This about sums it up for me. I'm also interested in seeing this so called up tempo offense.

everyone

although three I'm looking for to have big games are Tartt, Carradine against 1's, and Millard

Really eager to see our o-line, and the much anticipated re-casting that has gone along with it (which we've all been waiting for).

Ok - preseason is a sloppy game - BUT, rather than one player, I most interested in seeing if the team functions crisply.

>In and out of huddle quickly
>Play calls have some coherence and plan to them
>Defense doesn't look confused

That type of thing. Those would be good indicators to me that the coaching staff has got it under control and the players are well coached and disciplined.

We could list everyone to see if they are good or improved - but I want to see the mystery players we have been hearing about to see if they really could make an impact - WR White, RB Hayne, DL Okoye, CB Reaser / Acker, OLB Harold -- oh, and Pinnion, lol. How funny is that we are all wanting to see this punter.

I actually have to agree with this.. also want to see how ST executes the routine plays. Hopefully we don't miss a beat.

You think this is a joke? It's all fun and games until the placeholder screws up. Then the pitchforks come out. Andy Lee was a clutch placeholder. HoF material.

Beyond this - I wanna see DeAndrew White in action. I want to see ST at all levels. I want to see how our RBs look especially Hayne and Hunter. Want to see how Moody looks. A bunch of the DL and of course the entire OL. Corners too... really most of the team.

Not so much wear and tear, more like the motions are so completely different it would be difficult to expect him to be proficiently good at both. I suppose there could be some wear and tear too.

Idk about the rule. Many people toyed with the idea of him doing kickoffs, fieldgoals, and punts but to do both at an nfl level without your leg wearing down would be impossible imo.

1. The whole O line
2. Kap-Needs to see him read a d and his touch
3. CB
4. McDonald
5. Moody and Tartt
6. The offensive scheme

NFL Gamepass is doing a 7 day free trial so you can watch the game tomorrow if you don't get it on TV

the new punter. we'll be using him quite a bit.

I will cancel when the game is over lol.

Kap and his new mechanics. Finally in a live game situation. No more clips of drills.
Martin vs Watt. Just to see how the youngster will do. They move Watt around so maybe a couple times they square off. Hope he earns RG this season.
Tank's ability to push the pocket.
Harold's pass rushing.
Moody and his recent camp buzz. Hoping it's legit.

I'm not looking for any one player, just move the damn ball and get a couple of first downs, is what I want to see from the offense. I don't even care if we score, just move the damn ball. On defense, some sort of pass rush and be stout against the run, from the front seven, with solid corner play. Looking for good clock, time out, replay and challenge management from the coaching staff.
