The preseason is over and I have to admit I am impressed with what I have seen.    I am not saying it will be a great year, but we are moving in the right direction.   Nice Job by Josh and the coaches pulling this all off.   Here are a couple of thoughts after looking at the preseason stats

Offense

•  Turnovers Ranked #29 with -5.   Thank goodness for that last game.  It could have been worse.  At least the defense will be allowed to be aggressive in this area
• Time of Possesion Ranked #3 at 32.40.  This is a nice surprise for me and this will help our defense improve greatly as they are not on the field all the time.
• Offense penalty Yard Ranked #29 @ 164 yards.  Nice job except that bears game was brutal.  We could have been ranked 32!   This shows Josh's detail this year in training camp.  Thank You
• 3rd down percentage ranked 24th at 36%.   No worries yet.   We were evaluating talent not padding stats.
• Points per game Ranked 24th with 16.2.   We must improve this number over laster year in order to have any success this year
• Yards per game Ranked 19th @ 308.   

Defense

• Points per Game Ranked 13th @ 17.8.    Great to see this with all the change!
• Yards per Game Ranked  7th.   Way to go D!
• 3rd down percentage Ranked 5th @ 35%.  My slogan for 2009 is "3 and Out Baby!"
