I would tend to agree, but really Chambers is the only one I worry about. More than anything, I can see our first game being a truly defensive battle barring our offense REALLY exploding like it's supposed to be doing.
Nothing would make me happier than putting up like 30+ points on opening day. It seems like EVERY FREAKING opening day is down to the wire for me. For once, I'd just like a nice drubbing so I can enjoy my buzz.

Yes, Chris Chambers is one to worry about, but this is also our first test against an above average running back in Ronnie Brown. What will our run defense look like. Who will be guarding Ted Ginn? (assuming he is 100 percent.) Because it seems that our defense is very suspect to fast recievers at times, Also, Trent Green is like a better Brad Johnson who beat us in the opener last year. He is a game manager, he does what needs to be done and more importantly he DOESN'T make mistakes, just like Brad Johnson. So that is what worries me, his game managment skills, and ability to frustrate defenses by not making mistakes and converting on 3rd down like he is supposed to.

if we start playing the aggressive defense that we have had before, Trent Green is one good shot away from retirement

They may have better receivers but Miami's o-line is an extremely pale comparison to KC's. He won't have time to pick anything but his ass off the ground.

Another ex Redskin QB to start against us on opening day. We can't allow another 36 yr. old QB to spoil our season opener.
PS Quake, think about all the time you spend defending yourself !!!...You could start a few more threads j/k.

This is true if the Skins can provide a pass rush this year. If Green has time then it could be lights out for the Skins. I'll be there though.

I think Green already took the shot that SHOULD have forced him into retirement week 1 last year vs the Bengals. I think G.Williams is gonna throw the house at him right away to give him happy feet and make him nervous. Mark my words, if we get to him early and get that crowd into it, it's gonna be a loooong day for the Fins. My prediction- Wash 24 Miami 10. Green hasn't worked with Cam Cameron for a over a decade and he only has a few months to get acquainted with the offense and a brand new team with a brand new coach. I can't wait. And I'll be there!

At least their o-line is young and won't have faced any live bullets yet. I'd rather see Culpepper or whoever back there, but at least its game 1.
