Nothing much of anything we didn't already know. I did like all the talk of improvement by KF, Davis, and especially Parker. Yet hope always does spring eternal at the start of each season.

I was looking forward to the preview all day, and after watching it I have no idea why. Didn't really learn anything that we don't already know. Just need the damn season to get here!
The only thing that surprised me was Howard "predicting" that true freshman Reggie Spearmon will be used to rush the QB in passing situations. I'm not sure I had heard anyone say anything about him up to this point, although we had heard they are looking for more creative ways to put pressure on the QB.
They didnt even mention Leshun Daniels either. I figured they would after they had been tweeting about him.

Yeah, just like what happened when McCarney left Clown U.

Not to hijack the thread...
But I disagree with you.
Both teams are similar. Both recruit same kids (or type of kids). Both have had terrific successes the past decade or so. Trophy game. Border rival.
Oh yeah... And the series is tied.
How can this game not get your blood pumping, regardless of their coach!?!?

I was surprised there was very little mention/clips of the tight ends. KirFer points to them as a group of strength, but nobody went too much further into it.
Also, GD mentioned Shumpert when speaking of the receivers (he mentioned Powell, Smith, and Shump individually). This might show why he's listed on the two deeps. Must've had a great camp.

That was a disappointment.

That show has almost become a characterature. It's like they go out of their way to find the nicest ways to be critical. And even though its just a half hour long, you could make a drinking game out of how many times Howard says 'when you look at'. He pretty much starts every toss that way (meaning when they toss to him) and has for seven years and it's rare when he has anything to say that isn't out of the Cpt Obvious playbook. Nice guy, just not too deep.
I would have to say that preview show for fans who follow their team closely is a disappointment. The crew is only their for one practice, they give a few observations and leave. For the casual fan that type of show is great for them. I know I have sat in Kinnick many times where the people around me don't know half the starters names let alone the two deeps. Plus since the QB race hadn't been decided (or made public by KF at that point), they spent alot of time discussing the QBs.

Yup, it is mainly for people who get their team news from the newspaper. I turned it off after 5 minutes because I realized it was all a repeat for me.
Yeah I watched it but when it was over I realized I got more out of the tweets from the day they were actually there than the show itself. I am glad I DVR'd it and skipped through the commercials. Saved me a few minutes of already wasted time.
