On paper, it looks like the best team we have fielded. So i want to see it with my own two eyes. 2009, like mentioned, it was the Raiders game that I knew that team was going to be special.

This year, I have that feeling again. So, i am ready for preseason to start.

What I want to see:
- Better pass/run ratio (less predictability and improved play action pass)
- WR changeover (I can't wait to see how Brandin Cooks impacts the game and who our 5-6 receivers will be)
- Vacarro and Byrd together on the field at the same time (It just feels like greatness in the making)
- Position battles (who is going to emerge out of nowhere to make the team)
- Improvement for the LB corps and Special Teams unit
- What will Jimmy do instead of dunking

Pretty much mirror your wants, minus the italics and biggest want in bold...

Not having an honest run game last year made the play action virtually meaningless. Brees could have turned to the running back, high fived him, and then chucked the ball down-field 25 yards to Stills and the effect would have been the same.

As far as the LB play I can't help but always watch the LBs when the defense is out. But this year I might be a bit more distracted trying to watch the secondary off-screen.
