[dropcap]I[/dropcap]n the preseason game against the New York Jets, we were all curious about how the defensive line was going to react, if Ameer Abdullah was to play to his potential and if the offensive was going to give these quarterbacks enough time in the pocket to make play’s.
This is what Jim Caldwell had to say about last night game:
“It’s always good to kind of get the first one under your belt and I thought our guys did a number of things that were certainly encouraging. From a defensive standpoint, did a nice job in terms of keeping them out of the endzone. Anytime you have a preseason game it’s very difficult to hold a team to no touchdowns and they were able to do so. Did a nice job with a little bit of bend and don’t break sort of, couple series in there, but overall thought they tackled well and did a pretty good job. But yet obviously we still got a lot of work to do. Offensively, I thought we ran the ball decently. The offensive line did a nice job in there as well as the backs carrying the ball. Three quarterbacks all had scoring drives at one point or another, which I think was good, but we still got a lot of work to do. But things were at least encouraging.”
