Preseason Game 2 WFT pros and cons

[Joelist]

Pros:

OL looked decent all night except for one screwup by the third string where half the line missed the snap. They followed up on keeping the QB clean against Tampa's superb DL by doing the same versus another high caliber DL.

First Team D looked sharp too.

MacPherson was a boss again.

Cons:

Brandon Allen was embarrassingly bad. He had a clean pocket and plenty of time and did nothing with it.

Second and third team D had problems tackling

Chase had the bad outing, but really needed to be left out there until he could get in sync.

And....

The offensive plays were kind of baffling. What is the point of having a WR trio like ours and not going deep at all? Why have bigger backs like Patrick and Mixon and Perine and no power runs? It felt like we were deliberately not using our strengths last night.
