    Seemed like a good read to me. Fair and I think everyone would agree with it. The WR's get a plus for what though, showing up. Strip that plus out of there.

    If you don't understand how much VY's quad injury limited him last year, at least you can see it now. This is Vince's third year in the NFL. Tony Romo wasn't even good enough to beat out Drew Bledsoe in his third year, so Vince is still in the developmental stage. The offense is in very capable hands with VY, and if he can stay healthy this year, I expect another one of many Pro Bowl appearances. In the end, though, the goal is the SB, not the PB, and I think VY will get us there.

    Hard to disagree with any of that. I especially agree about the wide receivers, they looked really bad. But what else is new?

    I have a lot of faith in this team to make the playoffs. The talent is there on defense, we have a star qb, a pro bowl te, a good o-line and solid running game with potential to be special. Vince needs to take the next step, and we are good.

    You gave a C to Special Teams because our (backup) kicker had trouble on kickoffs even though he was perfect on FGs for the night? Looks like we actually have a kick/punt returner this year in Carr, because Davis just plain sucks.

    And you only gave the WRs a D? They deserve an F at best, since they were pretty much nonexistent.

    i thought giving any position an F in the first pre-season game would be a bit harsh, but if there isn't any improvement in the coming weeks they'll definitely get one.

    For a preseason game, I thought the crowd deserved an A. They were pretty loud and helped the D, at least in the first half. Hey, it's preseason...

    Great start to the 10 year anniversary season. Fitting that the Titans opened (and beat) the team that ended the inaugural season. That season was a special one, and I have a feeling that this one will be too...

    The problem with the WRs was amplified by the fact that two of our better WRs, McCariens and R. Williams didn't play (not sure how long Williams will take to get where he can play in a game but we need him) and even though Gage and Jones were in there VY didn't do much except dink and dunk to the TE and RB.

    Then for much of the time Collins was playing QB and making throws we had P. Williams let one go through his hands and Ealy make a nice cacth only to step out of bounds.

    Bottom line is we really don't know how good or bad our 1st three or 4 guys are, Ealy might be salvagable, P. Williams needs to try a different sport and it is time to move Hawkins up the depth chart. Chris Davis (both of them) are only auditioning for other teams at this point.

    Collins seemed to look a lot for Ealy which tells me that he likes the skills of the wr, too bad he didnĀ“t respond well to that trust. Ealy should do better in coming games.

    They've been saying all camp that Ealy has been standing out... I think the Offense looked pretty decent myself. VY looks healed, as far as mobility.... WR's still aren't great but they are better than last year. TE's are pretty solid... Oline is good. Lendale looked pretty good and we all know Johnson looked great for a rook. It's still early to tell a whole lot about him but he's fast as hell and that always a good thing. No reason to get to excited here though cause the Rams suck.
