Aaron, great reporting from you today! Of course that's probably easier when the team is playing great.

A very interesting mix of increased intensity in practice vs a rash of injuries; how these injuries pan out by weeks 1 - 5 will be very informative. Hopefully they prove to be not significant and the toughness in practice proves to be VERY worthwhile. Saturday we get to see them torch our reject QB - oh no we don't, he also washed out in NY lol. No seriously, I have no ill will against AR and look forward to a very hard-nosed game in Pittsburgh this year. GB is no longer "soft," and even MLF has notched up his toughness, matching the player's increased intensity when need be.

Should be a GREAT season (cough Lombardi) GPG!!

Great news to hear the starter's will get their feet wet early. Due to the schedule it is imperative we start out fast.

We have to be ready for the opener, and we cannot treat it like another exhibition. This is the most important game of the regular season.
