Be Careful on the Defensive Accolades.

BE CAREFUL

I agree with Oregon, Seattle sat 9 starters, and at times I wondered why the Packers were blitzing so much in a preseason game. They beat up the 'hawk's back ups. Still, I enjoyed the intensity they showed, too many times last year they came out flat. Bjack, Blackmon, JJ, & Bigby all needed a game like this to build confidence. I'm concerned about the knee injuries though, Bodiford was a little too reckless on the return. Indy lost 3 preseason games last year, in the end, it really means nothing.

That game reminded me of the year we walked all over the Saints 52-3...on our way to a 4-12 record. I'm not going to get too excited, but on the other hand I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about this team.

Nice to see us looking positive on all cylinders though.

Pre-Season

While no pre-season game has any effect on the regular season, this game was still a huge positive. Several good things happened including Blackmon. It's nice to see a guy that I was high on come through.

Favre looked ready for the season to start. Next game will be the real test with the starters playing for an extended time.

Completely agree. Walter Jones completely changes that game. So does Hasselback. Playmakers win football games. While Jenkins looked like one tonight, he wouldn't have against Jones. Hasselback is infinitely better than Wallace.

How do you know that Jenkins would't have success against Jones. I think you are insulting Jenkins with that statement. As for Hasselback it may have been worse bnecause he is not as mobile as Wallace.

Jones is the best player at his position in the league. He might be the best ever.

Hasselback would go through his reads much faster. All these guys can throw the ball, it's the mental element what seperates a lot of these guys.

But Jones is not invinceable. I trhink Jenkins would be very close in production if Jones was playing. Best ever?Hardly. I can think of a few others before I even start thinking of Jones.

Jones would pretty much have shut down anyone he's guarding. With that said, that is really there only really great player on the line and remember we have two great ends. If Jones shuts down Jenkins, Kampman or someone else would have done the damage.

Dammit, I want preseason to end because I keep telling myself don't get excited it's just preseason.

The best thing from that game thought has to be the o-line play and that there was no significant injuries.
