I know it’s preseason but my hype for the season died a little

Additionally, I don't think the new helmet rule helped him.  Iloka was always known as a hitter, which is good.  But when you're 6'4" hitting a bunch of people smaller than you you have no choice but to duck your head.  That no longer works in the NFL as it costs your team 15 yards.

If he was never a play maker why did they sign him to such a rich deal? Same with Dre, good player but not worth the $9M or whatever we pay him, seriously overpaid.
