Good news about Perkins, hope he can keep it up!!

Mack Wilson, might be an underrated addition to this team

The offense still seems to be struggling on 11 on 11s...I hope this is because our D is just that good.

Beginning of camp the defenses typically perform better.

I see incremental improvement from yesterday.

It's obvious now in case it wasn't before that they're changing the offensive schemes and there's still a lot of work to be done to iron out all the kinks and get it right. Still over a month away from the season so not even close to time to get worried. All good.

The 7v7 succes has to eventually translate to 11v11.

I can't help but start getting giddy about Thornton. He sounds like he's starting to becomes a force

Here's to hoping he'll break the WR draft curse...

I can't wait to see Russell Wilson Bailey Zappe in preseason games I think Zappe is going have Mac looking over is shoulders. The Pats seem to have done a very good scouting job snagging Russell Wilson Bailey Zappe.

The players on the defense already have plenty of experience defending outside zone systems. It's brand new for the offense, and the required blocking is pretty damn complicated.

Football 101: Outside Zone - Weekly Spiral

Outside zone is a versatile run play that forces defenses to play disciplined while also respecting the threat getting to the outside.

Has absolutely nothing to do with a special teams "consultant" and a defensive "consultant" coaching an offense for the first time.

Imagine Parker - Bourne and Thornton in three WR's sets: Third and First. What a far the cry from last years talent I mean we had Meyers as our #1 or #2. He's literally a good #4 on this squad and I wouldn't want him taking any time from Thornton if he's ready. T Thornton is just a more skilled and dangerous player I hope Thornton plays like Terry Glenn as a Rookie.

On top of the new scheme, four out of five OLinemen are playing a different position than they did last year (if you count Strange being a rookie). There's definitely some timing and chemistry work that's going to need to be ironed out as well.

Trent Brown and David Andrews just need to stay healthy the two most important players on this current OL: the rest should be interchangeable.

I don't know about interchangeable per se, but I have enough confidence in each of them individually to figure it out (with Cole being the wildcard). It just makes sense that they would start a little slower than usual. What we want to see now is health and steady improvement.
