2013 Training Camp/Preseason Thread

They're going to be better than 4-12.  I'm saying 6-8 wins is reasonable.  It's not like I'm Jay saying 13-3 over here.

Playing in the dome, Peterson almost guaranteed to go for 100+, Cordarrelle Patterson as a potential threat against a crappy secondary, a decent defense against the run, and the Eagles are already thinking about Christmas and the offseason

I'm saying the team is gonna be out of the playoff race, it's gonna be mid-December, they'll probably be down early, and their minds aren't gonna be on the game 100% at that point.  Do I really need to clarify every farging thing that I write?

"We'll just have to teach our defense how to stand around better."

here's the longer form of that exchange:

Q. Are there any unique demands that are put on a defense that's running opposite the up-tempo offense that you've noticed over your time? COACH KELLY: No, I really haven't. It's about plays run. I've heard the question about time of possession, but we've talked about all the time ‑‑ time of possession is how much time can the other team waste. Most games, we lose the time of possession, but it's how many snaps do you face, and I think in both games we've played, we've played more snaps than our other team. We played a game against UCLA a couple years ago, time of possession was 40 to 20. They had 20 more minutes of time of possession, and it was 73‑71 snaps. So they had two more snaps. We won 60‑13. So all I gathered was that they stand around a lot more than we do. So I think when people look at the time of possession, and that's what people look at automatically, time of ‑‑ it's not time of possession, it's plays run is what I look at because you're not exerting any energy if you're just standing in the huddle. Now, if it's drastically different and teams are snapping the ball and getting 80 snaps against us against our defense and we're putting 50 snaps up offensively, then it's an issue.

Q. So they may be on the field longer, may have to be ‑‑
COACH KELLY: We'll teach them how to stand around better.
