Preseason looks like more of the same, to a certain extent, in 2007. Philadelphia (Week 3, Aug. 26) and Carolina (Week 4, Aug. 31-Sept. 2) both show up on the schedule again, for at least the fifth consecutive year each. Likewise, Washington (Week 2, Aug. 16-20) is on the schedule for the second time in three years. The Week 1 (Aug. 9-13) opponent is Green Bay, and the team plays this year in Canton, Ohio’s Hall of Fame Game versus New Orleans. We’ll call that Week 0 for the sake of continuity.

As I mentioned in the past, the Hall of Fame Game is a “bonus” game, and it will give new coach Mike Tomlin the most possible preseason games to get his team ready. That’s something most of us prayed for after last season anyway, new coach or not.
