or, "Cool Yer Jets."

I admit that last night's display against Tampa was deplorable--but you can only say that as an outsider. There are some concrete things I took away from the 1st half (all I watched): The offensive line looked OK in pass protection, uneven in run-blocking. Matt Cassell is playing himself off the team. Ellis Hobbs still doesn't react quickly enough. The defensive line was somnolent at best. Jerod Mayo is, in fact, a rookie. We still have a good punter, and our kicker seems solid.

After that? Who can say. Only the coaching staff knows what they were looking for last night, or what they expected from various personnel packages. You'll read guesses and hand-wringing here and elsewhere, 'cause that's what us and them are here for. But keep that chart in the back of your mind (or right on your desk, if you have to).

Nothing is won in the preseason.
