Davone Bess was a bright spot and that was about it. I think he is going to do this for us week in and week out. What a find he is for us. He is by far our best reciever while not the most talented he is doing a hell of job.
Interesting thought I had earlier.... Pat White is going to eventually be the starting QB of this team. Maybe this year if we continue to lose. This will be Chad P's last season here unless we really bounce back and take week one as a fluke/mishap.
Why do I think Pat White will be the guy? I really just think he is the most talented football player we have on our roster. He's an athlete, he can handle the pressure, he can lead, once he learns how to run a pro offense, and perfect his throwing he will be our guy.
With that said I'd like Ted Ginn, Hartline, and Patrick Turner make some plays and to Bess out. Pennington needs to get them the ball, but it will be tough dealing with Indy's front four.
I expect the same type of production from our run game, although it would be great to see Ronnie Brown go nuts and put up some crazy numbers. I keep waiting for him to have his year... maybe this is it.
I'm excited about the future of the secondary. Sean Smith and Vonta Davis are really going to be good players. It would be nice to one or both come forward on Monday and really take control of the our defense in the secondary. If they can be as good as advertised in college than we are going to be a tight defense for quite a while.
As far as insight for the game tonight. I don't have much. You can't stop Peyton Manning, or outsmart him and as long as Peyton Manning is playing the Colts will always have a chance any place, any time, on any day or night. This game will be a dog fight from hell if we even stand a chance (which I don't think we do). It would be nice to see us actually stay competitive for four entire periods with the Colts, and the rest of our foes this season.
People this is not a playoff year for our team. We have the most challenging schedule that I can remember any team having in quite some time. I do want to look back on this year and say that we had a shot in pretty much every game at winning. It will give hope to 2010. Not trying to be a pessimist, I just don't see us hanging tough with beasts of the AFC this year. We are out of our league as proven in the playoffs last season.
