I'm old school I know. But I'm just against the starters not playing at all in preseason games! Like you said it was like our offense was playing together for the first time ever.

Two Oline players whom had never played an in game snap together and just on and on. In summary the no starters in preseason policy hurts, it shows! I get Joe couldn't play but IMHO it dang sure would have been better for the other 10 starters to play a few preseason series.

Problem is, the D played well.  They just got completely hung out to dry by the offense.  

If I was Taylor, I 'd take it year by year based on the first couple of games.  Next year, I'd tell the first team defense they don't have to play in preseason, because they earned it.  The offense, on the other hand, I would tell them that they looked terrible, so they're going to play.
