First two seasons under Shanny aren't going to be great, maybe 3. I know that is saying a lot, but you just can't expect to change systems on both sides of the ball and expect everything to run like a tuned up Corvette right off the bat. Shanny will have the same trouble Zorn did in that he doesn't have the right personnel for his systems that he has put in place, or quite frankly they might be inadequate. With the exception of Spurrier, the preseason has indeed been a good preview of how our offense/defense perform during the regular season. There are indeed some nice bright spots to build on, but the overall look so far is that of a .500 team. Skinsnut is right to be concerned, but that is if one expects us to be automatic playoff material. Who knows, maybe by Sept 12th it will all gel, but usually it doesn't with this team. In short, what you see in preseaon is pretty much what you get in the regular season.
