I'm starting to apporove of this pick in the 1st round. If nothing else, he shows the other players how to make a tackle. Busing should start taking some notes.

Kubiak even won a challenge....the stars must be aligned on Battle Red day.

This game makes me nervous. Everything points to a Texan "W" - that makes me nervous.

Ok, Busing isn't a starter. Let's see what kind of production we can get out of Pollard. Safety is going to be the death of me. I may be willing to trade a 1st and 2nd to get a Taylor Mays for Eric Berry in this draft if it will fix this once and for all.

Receiving: AJ 4/86, Walter 4/60, OD 3/17, JJ 1/18, Slaton 1/15

Yeah, I agree RP, the safety situation is getting down right ridiculous. And after what, 5 TD's by the opposition on the same exact play, including preseason, you would think Frank Bush would have this problem solved. Not So!
