I was impressed with our pass protection, excellent, the buc's will bring many look's, and for the most part we handled them all no prob. Defense, 1 word, outstanding! We handled the run better than anyone could have hoped, we do have to keep in mind that the Buc's are a horrible rushing team over the last couple of year's, this D will get better as player's become more comfortable with the new system, and teammates, as well. Offense, Portis after the big run had to tough it out, but the Buc's are tough against the run, Gibb's has never had a back who could turn the corner like Portis, [ not even J. Washington] I defiently think Portis was worn out heading into the forth quarter, he should be ready to go 4 quater's next week, he's still rounding into game shape.

Brunnell, was ok, he did what Gibb's wanted, manage the game, and don't do anything stupid, and he did, Gardner continues to irritate me, he makes a great play, and then drop's a simple one, he's a guy I don't want the ball thrown at when the game is on the line, to unreliable, cooley look's to be one of these guy's with fly paper for hand's, and he can block, Morton isn't impressing me with his return's, he can't power his way up the gut when the big play isn't there, to often he does nothing, great job with the penalties, it's been a while since we see a flag on the ground and it's not on us, it's a nice feeling, great job by the fan's, over 90,000 tremendous, although I don't feel that fed ex will ever intimidate like RFK, looking forward to next week!
