There's a lot to be said for game planning - if not, 32 teams wouldn't be doing it week in and week out during the regular season. It will be interesting to see how well we are able to stuff the run against the likes of Eddie Lacy next Saturday. It is easy to forget, that the purpose of these "preseason games" are largely played so teams can find out which of the 30 - 40 players on a 90 man roster will be the chosen few, and actually make the final 53 - not to mention a few that can be stashed on the practice squad.
As it is, we nearly won the game if not for a bumbled snap, and a couple of misses by Legatron. First game of the preseason - I am not going to read too much into it. I believe we had a decent outing even with our scrubs rightly getting the lion's share of the work , so it's not like the Saints wiped the floor with us .. Fish said it best when asked about preseason "game planning." "We are going to run, block, and tackle." I like that plan. We can save the sophisticated planning for the games that count. My two cents ..
