I'm not going to mince words here: that was ugly. It's not about the loss - there's not much in this life I care about less than preseason win/loss record - but it's about the evaluation of some of the individual pieces. The talk of the first preseason game was the play of Ty Summers. There were reasons to be excited, but there were also some reasons for concern. All those reasons for concern showed up this week, with missed tackles all over the field. It wasn't just Summers: the entire defense was missing tackles left and right.
But there were reasons to be encouraged, too.
