What a rotten team-maybe the worst in the NFC

Erin Henderson 10 sacks? You must mean 10 tackles.

I like Leslie's Thinking. Don't display any offensive fireworks until the games count.

I sure hope McKinnie plays for GB or the Bears and Jared speed rushes him.

It just one preseason game, nothing to get upset or excited about. I would love to see what Ponder can do with the first team rather then the 3rd stringers.

I thought Ponder looked amazingly comfortable for his first action. I remember Culpepper's first series of downs when he fumbled the first snap.

It's just a preseason game, but both O-line and D-line looked terrible.......again

Ponder's feet aren't going to be the only thing that he wets when our swiss cheese of an O-line lets rushers through and he ends up running for his life.

Why have we not tried to improve our O line. It was terrible last year and we have not made it better. Our right guard is out but he was not outstanding anyways. We should work the waiver line to get some new players.

Hate to admit it, but McNabb looked pretty good. Get Webb time as a receiver- he's a crappy QB. Ponder can scramble, ok, but can he throw the long ball?
