Yea I get that, but lets not forget last year's schedule was powder puff league compared to this year. We're going to need a lot more offense to get there this year.

When we did play what were considered to be good teams, we did pretty well.

I still say we lack the stud WR/TE that causes teams to change their game plans to neutralize.

But the receivers came up decently against Seattle, Pittsburgh and New England.

That TD on the slant against Ramsey was good, but I would think under normal circumstances he would be jammed at the LOS.  While I doubt most corners he would face are anywhere near as good as Ramsey, I do want to see him escape the jam, especially against a big, physical CB.  The New Orleans and Minnesota preseason practices and games will be good preseason tests to see how far or WRs have come.  Both of those teams have outstanding defenses overall and secondaries in particular.

Are we practicing against NO? I remember Minnesota was scheduled but I must have missed the NO one. I like it.

My apologies for being unclear.

To my knowledge we are NOT practicing against NO.

I was trying to be economical in my phrasing and wound up being inaccurate.  Mea culpa!
