I was thinking about the game this morning, and I think here are a couple things we need to remember about last night's game. First thing, two of our starters didn't play last night, and that is enough to disrupt continuity of our offensive line. Derrick Dockery is, of course, gone to another team, and Chris Samuels was out with an injury. So, I expected our OL to not be dominate, although I was disappointed with seeing absolutely no holes opened up for our running backs.

The second thing to keep in mind is the fact that usually, the first preseason game has no real game planning. The offense is usually vanilla, and the coaches are more focused on watching their players make plays, rather than focusing on game planning.

This was the first real, true game for our OL that is trying to move on without DD and playing without CS. So, you can't really expect them to play as if they had been playing together for a few years. JB will have them ready by game one, I'm sure of that.

Jason Campbell continues to impress me. Some people said he played like crap, and I guess that's because we didn't score any TDs while he was in, and he fumbled twice. However, looking at the big picture, Campbell is showing poise. He's not staring down one receiver and he's definitely not automatically dumping it off ala Mark Brunell. There were some nice passes that were dropped. Yeah, there were a few passes that got away from him, but all in all, I'm confident that Jason Campbell is our guy. This is his first full year as a starter, so I am expecting him to make some great plays, yet still show some room for improvement.

When we get Chris Samuels and Clinton Portis back, we'll be good to go.
