excited for football to be back, hopefully we have a good year although there are plenty of reasons to worry
need a good start and beating a division opponent on the road is about as good as it gets

When Percy was returning kicks, I wanted him to bring it out of the endzone even if he was 9 yards deep just because he was such a threat. Patterson hasn't put himself in the same category yet, but I think that's part of the reason he was drafted.
