Remember The 2010 Pre Season?

But teams like the Bengals should use preseason as a way to get better and fine tuned, as opposed to just going through the motions. I remember a few years ago, Belichick had Brady and their offense out there for like 3-4 quarters in an early preseason game because of how dreadful they were. To Belichick, it was as good as a time as any to work out some wrinkles.

All in all though, I think most coaches and other folks would rather see their team in the 3rd preseason game playing good ball as opposed to sloppy underwhelming play.

Yep.  The third game is the one.  While you still don't want to put too much out there on tape, you want to be tight in assignments, execution and effort.
