That game was seriously depressing.  Only uside at all was run D looks a little better.  Wont matter thiugh if you cant stop a screen and short completions.  T OP had to have sucked for us untill the 4th qtr.

Was hoping to see more esp on offense.  I know it was only 1st preseason game.  Still sucked.

Clevelands backups are better than our starters.

I think it's fair to assume we'll see more situational play calling from Cullen during the actual season than during this evaluation period. 

When they really settle on their LB starters and safeties (plus various packages) I imagine they'll have better contingency for those 3rd and long scenarios beyond just being aggressive to the QB. I still hold out some hope they'll tighten that up.
