Since I have been attending training camp practices as well as the first preseason game,I really see more problems on the offensive side of the ball.I've seen everything from movement on the line to not having the right personel in for the play called.Brooks has looked solid and I think will do fine as long as we can find some wide recievers who believe catching the damn ball is part of their job.In two preseason games as well as practice I've seen everyone of our starters drop very catchable balls.Joe horn had a horrible practice one day dropping two sure touchdowns.Stallworth tries to run before securing the ball and winds up losing it.Pathon seems to be the more sure handed of the three,but still has had some key drops(the touchdown during the jets game for one).Boo Williams seems to have lost some of his focus and doesn't look as sharp as he did last season.Conwell still looks pretty sound.Michael Lewis seems to catch everything thrown his way(of course we all know he had to work very hard to make this team and probably has more focus than the big shots who have the starting jobs handed to them on day one).This new kid Nathan Black is really coming on.He has caught everything thrown anywhere within his zipcode and looks to be good running after the catch.This guy could be the next Ed McCafferey.If Talman Gardner could get some consistency he could be real good.Henderson could turn out to be a big surprise by mid season.He just needs more reps.

The running game will be fine as long as the O line can hold up,but they seem to be injury riddled.We can't seem to keep all five starters healthy at the same time.We are supposedly so deep on the O line,but we all saw what happened in Green Bay with the starters injured.

IMHO the defense has been pulling their load.They improved in stopping the run from week 1 to week 2 of the preseason.They also seem to focus on the mistakes they make and work hard to get better.The D line looks real good and will be the key to our success on defense.

If we are going to have a successful season the offense had better get it together real quick.They just don't seem to be playing with any sense of urgency.Haz and McCarthy should have every one of our recievers stay after practice and work on catching the damn ball.They should be made to carry the damn ball around with them everywhere they go until their recieving skills improve.
