This is how championship caliber teams run the preseason. While there may be some actual rehearsal going on, most of what we are seeing from the coaches is primarily evaluation for (1) current depth and (2) potential for the future.
What we see in the 2023 preseason guides the 2024-27 draft, free agency, and trade needs. Bad teams draft for immediate improvement that season. Great teams draft looking two or more seasons ahead.
True, we all want to see perfection, but the best teams almost always look the most imperfect in the preseason.
I am not concerned about the Offense or the Defense. Maybe a little bit with the Punters but hey, if the Offense is as good as we think
it will be, we won't be Punting much.
