Pre-Season

Game 1: At NYJets – Dakota Corriveau's debut was uninspiring despite good chemistry with former teammate and fellow rookie WR Kaleb Lyon. DE Ricardo Heuring grabs 2.5 sacks in a 27-12 victory.

Game 2: vs Denver – Trade target QB Will Lang looked good, and RB Drake Boyette put up a big day, but again it was the defense, led by 2 sacks from Heuring and 3 picks from the secondary to power a 37-10 victory.

Game 3: vs Miami – DE Ricardo "Manchild" Heuring continues his hot streak with another pair of sacks (that's 6.5 in 3 weeks), and SS Mitch Plante snagged a pair of picks. CB Calvin Minnig finally showed the flash for which he was drafted, returning a kick 97 yards to the house for the winning score, 21-17. The QB situation, however, remains very cloudy, as newcomers Corriveau and Lang duke it out for the coveted #2 spot.

Game 4: at San Diego – Punter Rick Clark almost singlehandedly won this snoozefest, pinning 8 of 11 punts inside the 20 in a 9-6 victory. The Dragons have a perfect 4-0 preseason, but QB Witt has looked tired already, while the backup battle is on fire. Some big questions loom at the most important position in Des Moines!
