Some of this train wreck should have been seen in camp

How would they know who's good or not? With the very limited amount of full contact practices and lack of preseason game action from the primary players, there's really no way for them to know who's tough and who's fools gold. Zac conducts things the way he does in the name of injury prevention, yet there we were after the KC game with our 4 "best" DTs all out with injury and relying on bums off the street to absorb a few snaps.

I get protecting your star skill players from unnecessary injuries in preseason, but the fundamental blockers and tacklers actually need that time to temper their bodies and get on the same page.
