I had a busy night so I recorded the game and watched it bleary-eyed after I got home (hurray for fast forward!). I was not really impressed with either defense. Both would have been buried by a solid offensive team like the Chargers or Colts.

Ahman Green, thanks for showing us early that you are washed up. Hand in your playbook and pick up your severence check at the front window.

I thought the running game should have been better, given that we were moving the ball well enough through the air that the defense couldn't key on the running game. Gibbs has a lot more work to do.

Duane Brown looked good for his first time out, although it should be noted that the Broncos have whined about poor DE play for years now. Is it just me or do we have a lot of guys named Brown or Johnson on this roster?

No way is Jacoby Jones going to get cut. We basically have AJ, AD, Walters and Jones as our four receivers and if we have a fifth one it should be Anderson. I loved that catch Carter made over the middle but he later dropped an easy one so that's kind of a wash. Where Anderson has value is that our QBs don't have great arm strength so we have to have some route-runners who hang onto anything thrown their way rather than speed guys who might drop a key first down.

I think our defensive backs are going to be toast most of the season.
