    I almost totally agree with this. We were talking about this during the Bears game and I said that the one thing that is keeping him from being an all-pro kinda ILB is the pass coverage. My view is that he doesn't have the knack for where to go and who to cover -yet. And wouldn'tcha know it on the very next play, he got suckered outside and let the RB go free inside. Maybe it's just a matter of time, because he certainly made that critical INT in the first game. Maybe I'm asking too much too soon, or just looking at him with narrow Packer goggles. The great ILBs also miss a few I guess.

    I'd rather have sacks.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    It's still a little early to be reduced to jokering around. It ain't over yet. We'll just see Abby rise up from the injured rib pile and be a star on Thursday.

    Or something. I'm going to the game, so I gotta hope for something good.

    It's one sack and two balls, Harlan. You must be out of practice.
