Well, next week we can start watching the team get embarrassed in games that count.

Pretty sloppy game . Seems nobody got hurt.

Obgonya ran pretty good, hope he makes it somehow.

Looking forward to first real game and playoffs this year.

On a positive note I stuck around to listen to Rich's interview with Bryant Johnson and was really impressed with how he came across. I'm really pulling for him now; I hope he gets a chance to contribute. Two first round WRs from 2003. That would be odd.

Yep, that was pretty ugly....oh well.

The 1's and the 1's sprinkled with 2's looked pretty good, + no "major" injuries to anyone, so I am very happy with our preseason.

Very happy opening weekend is coming up, and we can get this train rolling.

Here's to hoping it rolls in the right direction this year. Either way, they should be VERY fun to watch.

KOOL-AID time!

I didn't think Leinert played that badly. He actually has a stronger arm than I realized, but not like I'm trying to compare it to Elway's or anything like that.
But he's definitely better than DanO, so so much for the value of a strong armed QB. And he'll stand in the pocket and take a hit.
I think they have 4 'backs on the roster given the uncertainty with our top 3,
2 of whom already have hamstring issues. And at this point I'm not even sure if Keo makes the PS, so perhaps that makes room for 4th round corner Roc ?
Say, speaking of rookie corners, what ever happened to Brandon Harris ? As a second-rounder, of course he'll be on the roster, but I've heard little about him this presaseaon ?
The vet WR they just brought in looks like an NFL WR so I guess along with
Dickerson that's your 4th & 5th WR.
Can't help but mention this top pick of the Vikings, QB Ponder. For a white-boy, that kid can flat run. And they say he's a quick study, so he might be starting for the Vikings before the year is over ?
