Overall, minus the Jansen injury, I cant say I'm *extremely dissapointed* like others.

Offensivley, I mean what can you expect. Coles, Portis were only in for a series, Gardner maybe for two. The starting D was only in for one series as a whole, I think Bowen, Mitchell and Andre Lott were the only starters in for more than the first series tonight.

The only place where I see honest dissapointement was the QB play. For two guys ( Ramsey and Brunell ) who are supposed to be battling it out for the starting QB spot, they didnt look at that competitive with each other. Granted they both threw 8 times, Brunell 4/8 for 18 yrds, Ramsey 3/8 for 12 yrds, they just didnt look all there. Hopefully its somtihng that they will clean up, which I expect them to do with Gibbs. They should be looking better in no time. Hasslebeck however, might be making a run at the spot as well. He went 7/10 for 118 yrds and a TD. Now it was against third stringers, yeah, but he still looked more comfortable and more effective than anyone. I'm not saying he should be starting, or really considered for the spot, but they should defintley take a harder look at him, even if just to light a fire under Ramsey's or Brunell's ass.

The bright spot of the evening is defintley Sean Taylor. Two picks in three drives and One TD, he was also in on a bunch of tackles, overall very impressive. For anyone still arguing about him and KWII, just look at who is actually amking plays for his team, and who's not even with his team at all.

Finally, Jon Jansen. This is one of the biggest peices to our offense and our line. If he really is out for the year, hes gonna be a tough guy to replace. I really feel bad for the guy, not missing a game in 5 years, and hes been here through all of the bullshit of the past little while. I really hope they are just jumping to conclusions, but its not looking good.
