Again, preseason games dont mean much. They are glorified practices for the most part, with neither the Offense or the Defense showing all of what they have. Everything is watered down, so as not to show off to much of what the team will be bringing to the games that will mean something.
I think we saw last night that our two starting TE's should be able to carry the load at that position. Hopefully we have a backup TE that will be able to learn enough of the playbook/offense to contribute in the event of an injury to one of our starters sometime during the season.
At RB, I am worried. I am hoping that the reason that our running game looks so pathetic, is because perhaps our Offense in the preseason is in fact heavily "watered down". Otherwise, I find myself again wishing that more effort had gone into signing Green, or in looking for a (big name?) veteran RB. In my opinion, our line was not giving the RB's anything to run through, or maybe it just looked that way because our young running back didnt seem to be running through anything, lol.
At this point, I myself have not seen anything that points to Donald Drivers injury as being serious or (hopefully) not. What I have seen in the preseason though, points out that behind Driver, we have a lot of inexperience. With Favre at the helm, the bad route running will only be a large concern if our Defense is unable to keep the other team from running away with the game. Thankfully, our Defense looks good enough to keep us in games that we have trouble scoring in offensively.
I again, find myself wishing that more effort had been put into getting us some veteran help at the WR position. I think that with our Defense, things won't be as bad as they seem, but still, a veteran reciever behind Donald Driver would sure as hell make me feel a lot better in the event that we find ourselves without him for any length of time.
Tell me that when Driver went out, that you were not thinking "Oh Shit, Oh Shit, Oh Shit.........."
