Only the first half

Counts in pre-season.

And a pretty impressive first half it was. Ben was 13 for 25 and 247 yards. Only blemish was a bad interception in the first quarter. Never should have thrown the ball. Looked like a rookie mistake. Parker was looking good even with his fumble in the red zone. He got to carry the ball 10 times for 32 yards. Not great but ok for pre-season. Still looking like we are going to be throwing a lot more this season. The biggest highlight was how well the offensive line looked. Total reversal from the previous games. Again the defense looks great. Only giving up 3 points holding McNabb to just 60 yards passing. Enough said for now on the defense.

I’m not expecting much on Thursday night against Carolina, it’s the last pre-season game and why take any chances. Then what an opener, October 9th, Steelers vs. Browns in Cleveland, now that’s a way to start the season.
