Actually last season debunked the whole "preseason means nothing" meme. The team exhibited the EXACT same issues in regular season play that it did in preseason. We saw major OL issues in preseason and the same issues were evident in regular season. Ditto lack of speed on both sides of the ball and ditto poor angles and tackling on defense.
They are supposed to be pros - it should not take professionals half of the regular season to get to where they are supposed to be before snap one of the season (this is directed at the "defense"). Nor should players clearly not cutting it (like Og) be left in starting for multiple games before the coaches act. Or possibly the most embarrassing episode when they FINALLY pulled Bodine for TJ - all of a sudden the line looked 100% better - then of course they put Bodine back in and the follies return.
So, in brief, we have every reason to expect that what we see in preseason is what we'll see in regular season because....we've had it happen before.
