And hopefully we can bring in another vet, or even a PS guy, to back-fill the hole in our depth at that position. We can move the ball between the 20s, even on good teams, as we have all seen, so that tells me the offense is not really as bad as some make it out to be. The trouble is in the red zone, and I feel that mainly falls on Zorn's play calling. I have to believe that is a correctable problem.
As to the true meaning of preseason ... sorry if I take that argument with a grain of salt.
Moving the ball between the 20's ? .... yes, but only against the Rams, who have a new coach, a new system and are in re-building mode.
But even the running game, which has always been solid for us, is badly lacking now. The passing and receiving game is questionable at best against solid defenses.
Please do not misundertand me. My argument all along is that this team is not a disaster. My argument is that it is a MEDIOCRE team whose record will stand at 8 - 8 plus / minus one game either side.
That is our bet and its price is to hold the FO accountable for it.
