It being preseason, with new schemes, new coaches,some roster turmoil, vanilla game plans, I don't expect much in the way of evidence for either success or failure in the regular season. I am more focused on how individuals perform than the team. But a few things do bother me already.
First off, the penalties, especially the idiotic ones. False starts should drop off. And PI calls are often judgment calls. But personal fouls, illegal blocks, really roughing the passer, those sorts of penalties drive me nuts because they are just plain stupid.
The other thing that's a concern is what the heck has happened to Seantrel? He looks like he's just learning the game, like he's forgotten how to play. And while I'm thinking about line play, why is Ducasse still being treated as a competitor for a starting job? Whatever the coaches are seeing completely escapes me.
