Something to Prove!

I have a better feeling about this year as well. I do think, however, that it will be important for us to have a good showing in preseason this year.

But how do you guage a good pre-season? Historically speaking, Gibbs' teams usually don't fair too well during pre-season. It's important to stay healthy and see some degree of timing between JC and his recievers, but I wouldn't look for too much more than that.

True, but I think this year's preseason is different. For one thing, we had such a bad year last year - Gibbs' worst season as head coach. I think it's important for the team to start out on a positive note as soon as they can.

I agree there, but just as a word of caution, if go something like 1-3, don't read too, too much into that. I think it's how we win or lose games that's going to tell us a lot about this team.

I think it's how well our first team and second team guys are playing in these games. I mean, if we lose the games because of the rookies or third string guys who probably won't make the team, then I'm fine with that...but I definitely feel for the short time that our starters and second team people are playing, that they need to have a good showing.
