I think we tend to over analyze pre-season. If every little aspect of our offense isn't clicking then it's reason for concern? At any given time during the preseason, we've had three starters missing from the lineup.

We can get by Miami. Have you guys seen Trent Green's last game? We're going to throw some nasty stuff at that dude. He seems a step slow in decision making.

I will say, however, that the running game was anemic last night. We didn't create any lanes for Betts last night, and when he had daylight to run it seemed he was "dancing" around too much. I have to watch the game on TV to really get a better idea of what was going on. I do think Heyer has improved over the course of pre-season, and will be good for depth.

As for Todd Collins, he could have very well played himself into the second slot, but let me say this, if we're down to him or Brunell we're done for the season. We need Jason Campbell big time!

The defense is looking good. I can't say enough good things about Laron Landry. He's good on teams and plays like a linebacker when close to the line of scrimage. I think GW is going to turn this kid loose in regular season. I could see him getting like 4 or 5 sacks this year.

It's going to be hard to cut some of the young linebackers we have on the roster. I'm starting to see why the LeMar Marshall release happened so early. They wanted to get a good look at the young talent without commiting valuble playing time to Marshall, whom they were going to release anyway. Sartz, Blades, Trucker,...I like 'em all! Their quick and hungry.
