I've read the posts of others detailing the highs and lows and the good and the bad from our first pre-season and I agree with nearly all of it. We played well (other than that first Chargers drive) and our depth looks good.
However, there's one more thing that I'd like to mention that I noticed that I don't think has been talked about here. But if it has then I apologize for the redundancy.
Did anybody else notice how much more of a unified team we seemed to be? What I mean by that was I saw more camaraderie that I've seen in about 4 to 5 years. Watching our super stars like Wilson, Thomas, Graham, Sherman and Chancellor (just to name a few) always celebrating with the new guys every time they came off the field after a nice play and always teaching/coaching up the newbies was a wonderful site to see. It lasted throughout the entire game!
I had to watch the NFL Network broadcast which was the Chargers announcers but every time they showed our sidelines it was awesome to see this. I didn't see this same thing from he Chargers. Their starters were mostly sitting on the bench waiting for the game to end.
Now I know this is not as important as the X's and O's and play results but I really found that encouraging and refreshing to see from our guys. With some of the turmoil that we've been through this offseason we could have been a team divided but if the first pre-season game is any indication then we appear to be closer and much more of a unified team than in the past couple of seasons.
Of course, I could be reading way too much into this but i always think stuff like this is important in it's own way. I remember our 2013 team and the "we all we got, we all we need" mantra and the looking out for each other. We really fought for each other that year and this kinda reminds me of that.
Anyway, thought I would share! 8)
