This is where I'm trying to stay logical. Ok, we rested our starters for pretty much all 4 games, not just key players but all the starters. We have a new OC so we have a new playbook, we aren't going to be running it in preseason. I get all of that.

But the standard of those 4 games from us was shockingly poor. Thank God they are over, almost killed all my enthusiasm for the season. Some of them will make the roster and some will play at some point this season. 

I didn't see anyone really breakout or threaten the guys ahead of them, the O was awful and struggled to move even against 3rd/4th stringers. Is it coaching? Schemes? Attitude? Preseason?

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for now but if we come out sluggish and not on the same page, Marrone will get hammered by some for it.
