Clark Haggans who?  Lamar is a freaking beast out there. FWP looks like he has has step back. OL is holding it together as well. BR for MVP. He will have the stats to prove it in January.

So the team came out clicking on all fronts today.... just a clinic by Ben....  The D looks rejuvinated with Woodley and Timmons in there.

Until the O-Line started to have problems.

Looks like Ben has a theigh bruise- I hope thats all it is.

Impressive opening 2nd half drive. Old school between the tackles smash mouth running. Me likey. Good for FWP to finally start hitting the EZ. The line has been looking OK, especially Kemo. You gotta expect a top quality player like Williams to make a few plays, so I gotta say, overall, the score speaks for itself.......so far...

[DCSteelers]

What surprised the crap out of me is that Santonio and Washington were non-existant.... Hines, Heath, and Willie were that dominant.

I might be wrong about Hines, work on a couple year extention for him in the offseason to lessen the 09' cap hit instead of cap-cutting him.

I still think the O-line is a little suspect, but had a great start to the season.

I was thinking the same thing.  that opening drive of the 2nd half was amazing to say the least.  After willie sat out after that long run, in came RM and we didnt miss a beat.  Its going to be one hell of a luxury to have 2 stellar dudes in the backfield.

Washington COULD have had a decent outing if he handled that long pass from baby fat.  Holmes was just a product of the texans inability to do shit the entire game.  Had the score been a little closer, we definitely would have been passing a little more.

Fucking Heat was on freakin fire the first half, was kind of upset that BA stopped going his way.  But overall I cant complain about the passing attack.

the only play that I had a problem with was that 3rd and short in the first half I believe, where we had an empty backfield and every friggin WR in bunched formation.  I saw it getting blown up the moment FWP went into motion.  

[Finnegans Wake]

Santonio will get his.  

Washington made a hell of an effort on that ball, BTW.  That was a Tyree-like attempt, but the coverage was good.  If Gary Coleman had put it on a spot where the DB couldn't reach it...
