I think he can be a big factor for us this year....but I won't confirm that until I watch him duplicate his efforts in the next game.
We should have no problems at running back this year! I am extremely impressed with "Nemo", as long as he can hold on to the ball when he crosses the goal line! ;-) Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts should have a great season this year!
I was also extremely impressed with Jason Campbell. Yeah I know, he was playing against the second and third string defense, but he looked comfortable and showed poise in the hurry up offense. Brunell had an excellent game as well, but I want to see him duplicate those efforts in our next game.
I'm holding my breath with Patrick Ramsey right now. He didn't look very comfortable, but he did have pretty decent numbers. Maybe Patrick is just going to be one of those QBs who has to start out on the little stuff to get warmed up. I just hope he looks more comfortable against Cincy than what he did against Carolina.
I can't really assess the defense since there were so many guys out, but I believe we'll see more from them in the next game.
All in all, there were plenty of positives and negatives from the game. We only scored 10 points, same ol' story, but we had two drives that could have easily ended in scores.

Good Posts.............I agree with your comments. I'm glad our O line is looking good. Antonio Brown and Nemo did play well...although Brown has a long way to go to make-up for that fumble that cost us the Dallas game last year with 1:34 to go.  Taylor also played well, perhaps he is concentrating on football now instead of his extracurricular activities. Interesting that Gibbs kept him in the game a long long time....perhaps to make up for his missed OTAs.........
