With the exception of London Fletcher, who's picture should be in the dictionary under Football Player, and C.

That's got to say something about our draft the last few years. A few FA's sat yesterday...Springs, Washington, Taylor, Daniels.

For some reason Chris Horton impressed me almost as much yesterday as the first few games of the year. That tackle on Deshean Jackson was impressive, maybe saving a big play. He flew in, slid, and tripped him up. His speed is impressive.

Devin Thomas is huge. Maybe just standing next to ARE and Moss? He could be something if he can stop pushing off. Good to see him catch a couple.

The ref's were horrible yesterday. The kickoff return...horrible call. The ARE catch...he didn't get touched and would have gone for a score. Here's an idea, how about not blowing the whistle til your pretty sure he's down. All of the skins players said they didn't hear a whistle til ARE had run another 20 yards. Huh? Blown calls...horrible.

Suisham...damn, he had a great game. I won't mention the worst kickoff i've ever seen since he did everything else well.

JC is starting to remind me a little of Ben Roeth. Maybe I'm off base, but I always thought he had the potential but needed better pocket awareness/presence/footwork & playmaking ability. I think he's getting some of that now.

OMG! The refs yesterday had me outta my seat and yelling so loud I think my neighbors heard me! How can a side line jugde who clearly had line of visio on that kick return throw a flag for block in the back. And then they just pick it up!?? "there is no foul on the play" Bullshit!
And the ARE should have clearly been a freakin TD. But noooo...the ref got ahead of himself and blew the damn whistle.
If you think of it that way...the game score would have been 30-10!
