Preseason Thoughts

1. The Skins' running game is non-existent. It's surprising to me that famed offensive line coach isn't getting the line to consistently create holes. Instead, there is regular penetration into the backfield.

2. Kirk Cousins was decent but everything was short. In preseason, i suppose it doesn't matter but it would have been confidence building to see some deeper throws.

3. Upon further review, Jared Goff (Cal) didn't look as bad as the stats make it seem. After the shaky start with a blitz that forced the INT, Goff got into a rhythm on his second drive with a few consecutive completions.

4. Dak Prescott (Cowboys) looked amazing. Of course, it helps to have All-Pro Dez Bryant but he showed the poise and decisiveness of an established veteran quarterback. Uh oh.

5. Carson Wentz (Eagles) looked shaky. Nothing worrisome at this juncture but certainly neither Goff nor Wentz were as impressive as Prescott.
