Okay, so let’s face it. The last two preseason games have not exactly been encouraging. I was willing to maybe give them a pass on Carolina with Joe Bugel’s daughter tragically passing, but they didn’t look much better against Jacksonville. I could be like some Eagles or Dallas bloggers I know and come up with [...]

Just a preseason game, but hey, its football, and we’ve been told the starters will be out there an extra series or two. Obviously, in his short time in DC, Coach Zorn has discovered the Rag, because just as a blegged in my Wednesday post, JZ has seen fit to get Portis into action. This [...]
