"On the defense: “I thought defensively, we played the run pretty darn good. The number one defense would have had probably every one of those sacks we recorded. They were really coming off the edge and creating issues for the second team line.”"
So I'm assuming that means they weren't tackling the QB? Go ahead make fun of me for not knowing - I come from an era of tackling the QB youth through NFL (and I'm only 10 years removed from the sport), and the sports I coach now are XC/Track/Baseball/Wrestling - so I'm not privy to the new era training tactics in Football.
The quarterback is usually protected with a red jersey since they are the most important and most vulnerable. Usually they are quick on the whistle when people get tied up too just to help eliminate unnecessary injuries from piling on...etc. Aside from that it's full contact. I'm assuming one of the scrimmages towards the end of fall will be full go no restrictions but maybe not considering we have two warm up games anyway.

Make that 3 warm-up games to begin the season. If any of the 1st three punching bags present a real challenge to this team, then something is definitely wrong here.
