I'm most impressed with Mason again. This kid may force the team to trade one of our backs. Portis knows how to block, Ladell runs down hill, Rock is a lock on special teams.
I'm not a big Portis fan but he does protect the quaterback and unfortunately I don't think this is a strength of Ladell's. I think Mason is our best pure runner but there are the other intangibles that make him a liability at this point.
I would like to see Mason run with the first team offense against a first string defense and then let's see how he looks.

Totally agree, this guy is a pure runner. I would love to see what he can do with the #1 offense.

Darrell Green would whoop his ass! :) Actually Bolt looks like he's not even trying, he's scary.

OK- I am now officially a Colt Brennan fan.
He's a productive college player with something to prove. Colt looked both calm an excited in the 2min offense.
The question is: at that moment last night, given all the players on both teams remain the same ("scrubs") - which of the 4 skins qb's do you think would have marched down the field and scored the winning TD? I say no to JC, TC and Devine. I was excited with Colt entering the game - I would have been scared if it had been anyone else (yes JC included).
I want to see Colt have a series or two with the starters.
If someone in AA ball was hitting .425 with 15 homers - people would be screaming to call the kid up, just to see what he could do. I don't see the problem in wanting our 3rd stringer to line-up with the starters once or twice to see what happens. He's doing everything right. Give him a shot and let him fail to shut people like me up - or let him succeed and start grooming him as your next franchise QB.

I am going to take a hard line position, not because I think Colt Brennan should start. He need some time.
Jason Campbell's delivery is soooooo slow. Sure he can hit wide open receivers. Last year, he telegraphed everything. He is doing it again. I am not a Campbell hater, but I have to be honest. If he can't get better with that delivery thing, we should trade him before his contract is way off the charts.
Put down the crack pipe.
Sure Campbell can hit wide open receivers. I'll say it again.
Besides this slow delivery thing, there is something else. He does not seem to have a feel for when he is about to get sacked. I saw it repeatedly last year. He was injured because of that lack of feel.
I want him to lead us to the Super Bowl. He has got to get his act together.
:doh:
