Who needs to step up tonight?

Matt Bowen - he hits so well, it just seems he's lost and doesn't know what play is being called. I need to see him focus and be in the right place to make a play rather than make a stop after he's missed his assignment.

Taylor Jacobs - He has too much potential to be burried at 5th in the depth chart. Get the fire going and make some plays!

Sean Taylor - Don't shoot me just yet... He's played well, and I was a doubter at first (I wanted to trade down to get help on the defensive line) but he's proven me wrong so far. Only thing is he's done well once on 3rd team, once on 2nd team and once on 1st team. Do something tonight, even just play well and not make any huge mistakes against Marshall Faulk and the Rams WRs to make me a solid believer.

Joe Salave'a - He's looked good so far and I hope to see more solid play out of him. I think we have the potential to have a decent, servicable defensive line rotation with him, Ron Warner and Renaldo Wynn all able to work in and out of a game.

I know this is very broad, but basically all of the 2nd string guys. If and when any of the starters get injured during the season, I want to be confident that their replacement will be able to step up. While I'd like the 3rd and 4th team guys to perform well too, most of them will be gone by week 1 anyway.

Also, I want to see Ramsey play well. Even though I've been pulling for him, I think Brunell will take the starting job, but I'd at least like to see that Patrick is really making progress and will be able to step right in if needed during the season.

Ladell Betts, please prove to everyone that you should be here! Remember, before Portis came along, a lot of people were pulling for him to be the #1 RB.
