Good thread.
I think I'm more in Ytown's camp. I think Ryan only knows how to play aggressive. However, I do think there's something to be said about using the preseason for what it is: experimentation and evaluation.
Notice how long Haden played? They're trying to get that kid reps to shorten his learning curve. He looked great.
Loved Flug's analysis noticing the LB's that were dropping back into coverage (e.g., Roth). Ryan's trying to see how much situational use each guy brings.
The one thing that stood out for me on Saturday was the lack of balls Detroit threw to wideouts. Nice to see our DB's forcing some underneath stuff. (Yeah, our LB drops were horrid too.)
