I had read that Woods was starting at NT with Hankins at DT early in camp and thought it was probably just trying it out while the other DL members got healthy. Sad to hear that they're actually sticking with this ricockulous idea. Damn I can't wait to get rid of these incompetent dumbasses.

I'm really beginning to think that this is a rebuilding year. They kept Pagano so they can have the kind of record that will enable Ballard to have a strong draft. Luck will miss a large chunk of the season and we'll begin 2018, with a new coach, a healthy Andrew Luck, a top notch rookie RB, a solid set of DBs all adding to a serious team going deep in the playoffs.

Keep your expectations low for this year and it will be less painful.

those teams had poor depth. the first team looked fine, but after getting yanked in the 1st quarter the backups would get killed.

my expectations are pretty low after watching these 2 preseason games. I had some hope before, but not now. I would say this is the least optimistic I've been about a season since the 2011 disaster.

I've done that for the last 5 years. lol

It's been the same crap every year as nothing seems to change. Shitty drafts, worthless FA's, roster full of pussies, and terrible coaching.

Assuming Ballard really is as sharp as they say, it's about the only thing that makes sense from what we've seen so far (chiefly: making no effort whatsoever to have a capable QB2 in place).

Yep. It will be disappointing/frustrating to watch, but we should end up better for it. I can sit through a couple of rebuild years as long as it's done right.
