I'm not much of a believer in pre-season being the predictor of regular season success, but we are going up against 3 of the best defenses in the NFL (Carolina, Baltimore, Pittsburgh) in the 4 week preseason. I know that there's not much scheming and game planning that goes on and I'm not really too interested in that aspect, but I want to see if we can move the ball against their first units. Just basic man on man football on the offensive lines, WR and CB it may be a good measuring stick for where we are. Scheme is only part of the equation, you have to beat your man more than he beats you in order to have team success regardless of the time of year.
