"FULL PADS"

[allskinz]

I think the players will take the game this weekend more seriously. I think Gibbs got his point across yesterday by putting up a sign in the locker room stating "FULL PADS".

Whether they win or lose this weekend is irrelevant, however I think we will see more of a "team" this weekend.

One of the players said yesterday's practice was one of the most intense he has seen. Rightfully so.

We will become a tighter knit team as we finalize our roster. I definately agree with you on the fact that we will see a higher level of intensity this weekend.

Gibbs has their full attention so theres no doubt that they will come out fully focused for this weeks game.

I bet their won't be any 23 play drives this weekend from the Patriots either..

finally people talking some sense - I rather see some intensity, execution, and energy, rather then us piling up senseless touchdowns

I don't think that most of our concerned about touchdowns or wins for that matter. Like you, I also would like to see intensity, execution and energy and we haven't seen any of that thus far.

There is also only 8 more practices until the opener, Gibbs is now going to run practice the way the team will practice during the season. This has more to do with timing then the Jets loss. I do agree the team should be more focused and physical, at least the first units, for the next two preseason games. Will that result in wins, possibly but I don't see any changes to the limited playbook this close to the season.

I didn't know the went full pads. Maybe they'll play harder in the game...

Yesterday was supposed to be light practice, after the lack of effort the team showed on Saturday it went to an all out Full Pads practice.

So the defense will outshine the offense but what I am truly worried about is that the offense is HIDING all their secrets. You know, they did the same thing the last 2 seasons and we piled it on in last years opener against CHicago with 3 field goals.

My suggestion, go ahead and use all those secret plays that nobody has ever seen before, and start practicing them in preseason Al. Maybe your offense will get consistent.

when did chicago's D become easy to score on?

we did move the ball pretty well on them

[allskinz]

Gibbs has never shown anything in preseason. Ever. Will he change..? Probably not.

It's true. I'v ebeen waiting to see this team on its toes, especially the guys fighting for jobs/paychecks. As I've been saying for weeks: if there's a team to test yourself against in the dress-rehearsal, it's the Patriots. They're the team that gives you the most to observe and the most to learn.

On top of that, we did use two quarterbacks too. That takes a little getting used to, especially considering the velocity difference between Patrick and Mark.
