id say because most 1st string ds are not playing at full speed ... most guys on the 1st string could care less about preseason ,, they have thier jobs and dont have to worry ...
also here is a lil tid bit to chew on .. last time green bay won all preseason games was in 99 when Ray Rodes and the pack olny won 8 games and Ray was fired after .. hents preseason really has little meaning if any ... now the reg season you will see the Ds moving at full speed ... thats when it really counts ... this is the reason i wont get too fired up about this season ... if you asked me today how many games we will win this season ,, id say maybe 8 games ...
im not impressed with our running game at all ... also our d still struggles to stop the run ... not to mention injurys ,, we havent even enbarked on that issue yet ... im not bashing the pack ,, i want them to go to the playoffs and compete ... however at this point the pack is far from a complete team ...
before all the hate mail ,, do me a favor .. look at last season we lost a ton of games by a few points ,,, why ?? ill tell ya why ,, we were dealing with the same issues we have today ... yea we could move the ball via rodgers and the pass game ,, but we couldent run the ball ... we couldent stop the run and every body and thier mom knew it .. thats the reason you loose close games .. it olny takes a few plays through the air to score a td ,,, but when you can run the ball you can eat the clock up and ensure a win ,, we cant do that ... IMO
