Greetings from the Austin Sam's Boat

Well, we spotted the Jags a 7-0 lead and have since dominated, 20-3.

Obviously, the worry is over the QB position but Yates showed a lot of moxie in his short appearance. Expect us to run a lot and shorten the game in the second half. If the defense can keep Gary Coleman from running wild on them the second half, I think we can hold onto that 10-pt lead.

We just need to keep from having to ask Yates to make plays for us and we ought to be okay.
