As for Collins, I think he'll do ok but we really, really, need the running game to step up.

I'm right there w/ you SS. Brunell required a simplification of the Saunders offense AND he is probably less mobile than Collins, which really makes me wonder what some people are getting at when they point at Collins for being slow.
I also noticed TC holding the ball too long but at this point we could easily attribute that to a lack of timing/trust with receivers because they have not worked together all season. I would not be surprised if he comes out very crisp next weekend against NY. If Thomas can get back fully healthy the ground game should start to click more and less pressure put on the QB. I guess part of me is actually happy to see JC get a break here, even if it's for the rest of the season. Kid has been through a shit load this year and I've been worried his head might be swimming a bit. Mostly I'm just glad his injury wasn't MCL/ACL. Whewwwwwwww!!!!
