Not worried about the starting offense. They've got a huge playbook they're in the process of learning. In addition, if Saunders feels Brunell will frequently need a dump-off receiver, he'll arrange that he has one. Defense looks great.

Concerned about the second-string players. I think it's going to be a rough season and it would be good to be able to rest the first-stringers when the game is in hand (to avoid injuries.) Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we can safely do so. Just hope none of our good players get hurt because they can't be safely taken out.

If CP is laid up for a little I hope Cincinnati lets #39 go.

Espy looked good, and Thrash (as usual) seemed to be get open for the dump-offs when he was in. I was upset with Espy for catching the ball 2 yards short of a first down, but he's learning.

I guess if ST gets hurt they can fill in with CP?
