Guess what? We knew this would happen. The OL rebuild is not a completed work and no one ever claimed it was. LT and C are worlds better than the last two seasons and LG is solid but RG and RT are up in the air - and tonight Hart got owned. But preseason is a better time to see this than the regular season. Hopefully we can either trade for or find on waivers a competent RT.

So the team are neither world beaters nor the worst. This is a work in progress, and hopefully we see improvement next week especially as Game 3 is the dress rehearsal for regular season.

I agree, one goal in preseason is to expose weaknesses so you can fix them. I also think we decided to plan zone a lot more to practice paying a zone. Yes, zone play exposes LB covering a TE as it is not man to man coverage, they have an area to cover, not a specific player
