[Killer in the Sun]

Nimby, you are the first person that I have talked to that says that. I talked to coaches and refs after the game. They all feel that we are faster than last year. They also like our size. I think there are 2 linemen that don't have much girth but they are about 6-6'2". I have had some mixed reviews. Some of the more pesimistic persons that I talk to regularly feel that we have some issues with the qb and cb. Most of the people I talk to feel that it went very well for the first time out and that the qb will only get better and so will the cb's. Then I have been really surprised by some of the more pesimistic persons that I normally talk to. They have said they were very happy with what they saw and thought we had more team speed and the qb has a great arm. I even had one long time Cardinal fan and ex ref, tell me that the qb has a better arm at this point than Jake did. I think basically the jury is out and we will find out with the first 3 or 4 games where we stand.

Pessimistic or just not what you want to hear?

There some issues with the qb such as making the right throws and the cb who is vertically challenged.

The qb will get better in time and coaching while the cb will have issues with taller receivers.

As for the faster thing, they looked quick but I cant tell you if they are faster than last year.

There are still some things to work on as we knew but the team could have a high ceiling.
