This was a solid performance for not having a game plan and just running some plays. They did not just run up the score, they played football. this was not a Spurrier type of preseason game. It was a hat on a hat football. Nice to see our guys smile but remember it is exhibition game 1, stay humble and keep working.

Good post. Got what we wanted out of it, now let's keep at it. Next week is a MUCH tougher test. Still, man it feels good to win!

After watching the game tonight I think Torain might wind up splitting time with Portis if he keeps this pace up. Keiland Williams looked good too. So did Roydell Williams. Brandon Banks has a shot I think for special teams. I think Beck, Willie Parker, Malcolm Kelly (didn't even play tonight) get cut. We will see. Ill be interested in next week with the Ravens. Some real competition.

I didn't like listening to Theismann tonight. Is it just me or is he always messing up players' names? I heard him mispronounce a couple names, and I wasn't sure if he was right about pronouncing Ma'ake Kemoeatu's name. Just to clarify does anybody know the correct pronunciation of Ma'ake Kemoeatu's name? I'm pretty sure it's Mah-ahke Key-mo-ahtu, not Key-mo-ee-ahtu like he was saying. It's a small point on the name pronouncing but he always annoys me with complaining about the refs and being such a 'Skins homer, and then not being able to pronounce players' names right.

Also Larry Johnson didn't even play tonight, he's not even on the stats sheet. I didn't see him not playing coming. Wth happened there?

I didn't see him or Chris Horton on the field.

Well nobody saw Chris Horton on the field because it was announced like a couple days ago he wasn't playing because of a minor injury. I wasn't expecting him to play but I didn't hear anything about LJ pre-game, nothing about injuries, coach's doghouse, etc. to give me an idea he wouldn't even take a snap tonight.

It was announced Horton was not going to play a couple days ago (dont remember why though) and Shanahan just said in his press conference LJ will play next week and Parker the week after that because he doesn't feel you can see much or get a true evaluation from a rb by giving them 3-4 runs before switching them out for someone else.

Yeah he's always screwing up names. He called somebody from the Bills some guy from back in his hey-day too, but I forget who it was. Either way he's def. not a guy I like listening to lol.

I believe he called Trent Edwards "Trent Green".

I knew about that one but he also called some scrub from the Bills D some guy from the 80's too, I'm just forgetting his name. But yeah I did notice he called Trent Edwards Trent Green lol.

And guys just remember this is 42 more points than we scored in last year's preseason opener, so that's a good sign. Hopefully points won't be as hard to come by as they were last year lol.

@Tryfuhl: Ah I didn't listen to postgame interviews except for AA and McNabb but that's good. I guess it does mean he's a lock, I was just suprised when Portis went out and Torain came in, I figured we'd be seeing Johnson after Portis. I get Shanny's line of thinking though.

LOL. Yeah. Then after he caught himself he said, "oops, maybe I'll get a shirt." So awful.

And Pocket Straight, I've know for a while how bad Sam/Sonny are. I just never listen to them because I'm always in front of a TV for the games. Tonight was just a refresher on how bad they really are.
