He is not the player he was. That's not to say that he can't have a good year, but it won't be easy for him. He will have to actually work at it.

3. Everything we saw last week could be irrelevant. Look at the difference between the Eagles in their first two games. I have a hard time believing that our O-Line, which was dominant the second half of last year, could suddenly turn to shit because the one player that everyone here would have said was the weak link, if you had taken a poll any time last year, isn't here anymore. Stephon Heyer is a rookie and the others looked rusty. The defense is often ahead of the offense in pre-season and I expect this group to edge their way back into form. I just can't beieve that Dockery is irreplaceable even if Wade is not the answer. But I could be wrong. The Bills obviously saw something.

Good points. The defense generally is ahead of the game at this point in the season; the offense is much more timing oriented.

That being said, let's look at Pucillo tonight to see how he fairs against an aggresive defense.
