Just happy to have something new on the front page of the site, really.

Keith, It's great to have football games to talk about. I've been so excited about the depth at RB, but it took a serious hit tonight with Slaton's shabby performance and the Tate injury. Really takes the wind out of a good performance. Here are our early thoughts of the game:

1. When Orlovsky had suffucient time, Orlovsky looked very steady to me. I'm a lot less worried about him as a backup. If he plays in the regular season at the level he played against the Cardinals, I'll be satisfied. I'd still rather have Sage, though.

2. I thought Jacoby Jones looked excellent. I think he'll see the field more this year than last year. It's starting to look like he wasn't a wasted draft pick after all.

3. I thought the pass blocking by the first team was excellent. The run blocking, not so much.

4. No way we put Dickerson on the practice squad.

5. Holiday looked shockingly bad. His kick returning made me pine for Davis.

6. I'm hoping Mario's bull rush sack means he has improved the use of his hands.That sack may be the most impressive I've ever seen him make.

7.Casey looked very comfortable. I think he's ready for more playing time.

8. Slaton is looking more and more like the specialty back he was drafted to be. He should be good in that role.

9. I seem to be the only person who notices that we would have a more potent passing offense if we replaced Leach with someone who can run better after catching the ball. The occasional dump pass to him ought to be a big weapon in our offense, and it rarely is. I guess he's considered important enough as a blocker, though, that his starting job is safe.

10.Dreesen is definately not a starting NFL tight end. He's not particularly fast or strong.

11. Bennett is a goner.

I really hope this is the year Jacoby Jones stops doing that one RANDOM game-killer thing that makes you say "Dude, what the ****************, Jacoby?"
