Excited about a preseason game? Me too

‘Next on the list for me, and a pleasant surprise through (I know, one meaningless preseason game), is the variety we saw from offensive coordinator Brian Daboll’s scheme. Lots of different formations and personnel groupings shuttled in and out of the game against the Carolina Panthers and the offense moved crisply and performed well. This was enhanced by the effectiveness of the quarterbacks but maybe, just maybe, the quarterbacks threw the ball well in part because Daboll’s offense makes sense to them and presents obvious easy options as to where to deliver the ball. This really is something to watch as we head into another game. More positive signs in this regard certainly won’t guarantee that it carries over into September, but it would at least be encouraging.’

‘”I can just tell you that I have a ton of respect for Tyrod. We certainly shared some moments last year together and he was instrumental in us making the playoffs,” added Head Coach Sean McDermott. “I’ve got a ton of respect for his family and how hard the young man works and the great intangibles that he holds and possess. I wish him nothing but the best. For us, certainly, we’ve moved forward and I know he has as well. We wish him nothing but the best.”‘

‘“This is one of the more focused, hardest working groups, that I’ve been around,” McDermott said as camp ended. “Does that mean we’re going to have success? That’s not guaranteed. The player-driven leadership, in particular, was really good and allowed us to stay focused and to put in a good day’s work each and every day. That’s all you can ask for at this point as we continue to focus on the process of what leads us up to the season.”’
