Methinks..
1. Moulden looks better than could be expected at this point, great news.
2. Slaton looks like the starter, prototypical everyday back or not, if for no other reason than he will be the healthiest (and tiredest) by the Pittsburgh game.
3. DBrown is servicable.
4. Our D looks deeper than last year, but starters are not ready for prime time yet. Probably look about right for Preseason game 2, however.
5. There is no way Jacoby fields a punt or lines up at wideout in Pittsburgh after last years turnover problem, and this years play so far. Is he the ONLY dude who’s turned it over in the preseason for us?
6. How good is the draft lookin?
7. Alex Brink got great time last night, got his first game nerves out, completed a great 3rd down pass, and looks like a solid #3, and #2 in ‘09.
8. Maybe we’re not showing our blitz packages which will help the pass rush. If not, we need a new DCoordinator in ’09.
Healthy and Turnover free 2008-09, and we win 11!
