I thought Benson was a good signing until he got injured. Age definitely doesn't discriminate on the Packers roster when it comes to injuries, so I can't really buy the argument of Benson only got hurt because he was older. It was just a freak injury. There's no doubt in my mind Steven Jackson...

Exactly my feelings on the matter. The 49'ers are a good team without Moss. I don't think Moss is an elite WR anymore, but I do think he can be somewhat effective, especially playing for a team that runs the ball like the 49'ers. I'd expect any average to above average WR to be relatively...

I didn't enjoy watching the games online at all. I found it laggy and choppy (~ 25 mbps connection), and it obviously doesn't compete with the resolution of the game on TV. I still have the pass because they gave it to me for free on top of Sunday ticket, but I don't plan on using it unless I...

I heard the "real" officials make an average of $5,000 a game, which would be somewhere around $1250/hr for a 4 hour game. Of course, there's a lot more work than just game time. Travel, preparing, staying sharp, etc. etc. would undoubtedly take a lot of work. Either way, though, it pays...

Russell Wilson is still a NC State Wolfpack guy to me! His one year sabbatical to Wisconsin won't change that. ;-)

Perry pushed the pocket several times. True, it's a first preseason game, but he showed talent. Will you please post a link to "most of the pro scouts" that were talking about how average his play was? I've read quite a bit that says the exact opposite, and of course I saw it for myself...

Williams who?

I'm a huge Nick Perry fan, so I'm biased. However, I thought he showed explosive strength, which is very impressive for a rookie. He has the raw physical talent to emerge as a very good to great player, it will just be a matter of personal motivation and coaching as to how far he takes...

Ingram is a special talent. Doesn't surprise me that he looks better than Perry. There's a reason he was drafted 18th overall and was viewed by many to be the best pass rusher in the draft. Of course, it only helps him when going against the likes of Herb Taylor and Datko. Datko has been...

That's cool. I expected him to play more, but I imagine that will be coming since Bishop is going to be out a significant period of time, at best. I think Manning can be a great player, but it may take a season or two.

Quick thoughts from the game: -So'oto looked pretty damn good late in the game. -Offensive line looked horrible throughout the game, especially Datko and Taylor. -RB Tyler runs hard. -House looked pretty damn good, and physical. I hope his injury isn't too bad. Why the HELL was he a punt...

That's good to hear. Admittedly, I was zoning out some at that point, so I wasn't watching as closely. Hargrove can definitely be effective. It's truly unfortunate he is suspended for 8 games. At least he should be healthy when he comes back! Neal did actually play, right?

Eh. Anyone that watched the 2008 season knows that Rodger's did a pretty good job. The defense really let him down several times late in games that season. That's not something the stats are going to easily show, but anyone that watched every play of the season saw Rodger's make several...
