We are always the "It's just pre-season" bunch. That is bullshit. Wins don't matter in pre-season but how you play means a lot. Eli looked bad. Again. Davis Webb was a catastrophe. Just terrible. I have seen players like him through the years. Speaks very well and says and does the right things off the field. He just stinks. Flat out stinks. The line did look better. Even the second string was improved. Barkley is going to be good. But a scatback, with our inept passing game, will not get it done. Defensive line looked good, and there was pressure on the QB. I think the defense will be pretty good. Considering we will score about 10 points a game, they better be. Gonna be another long season.
Look at the W-L record for the team since 2011. There's your answer. We haven't been good.
some are saying eli played poorly. He had two incompletions. One a drop, the other ellison didnt look for a ball that was a sure completion inside the 15.

He was nothing special but he's been FAR worse in preseason.
When one shakes loose (maybe McCown from the Jets?) they should cut Webb and sign the vet. At least Lauletta looks like he knows how to play the position.
Tricky thing is freeing up cap space.
I'm not sure how accurate a tool it is, but playing around a bit with overthecap.com's calculator isn't very comforting. Cutting Stewart, for example, brings our cap space from 1,305,000 to 1,400,000 :(
Of the players I thought *might* be appealing cap-freeing cuts, cutting Brett Jones has the most impact -- that would free up 2.2 mil.

Thanks for this post. Informative.
Depth matters, and the cap matters. We hear a lot about how Abrams can do a juggling act, but that doesn't seem a sustainable approach.

I still remember 1973 when the Giants went 6-0 in the preseason and 2-11-1 in the regular season. The preseason record means nothing.
excuses have started already.....nice

But the excuses made have been HOF worthy

That sums up his career. It is amazing he has been on the roster this long, it is an indictment of our LB play for the past decade.
