We open the season with the Falcons so I'll watch and maybe record the thing.

5 new starters on Defense

Believe it or not C-Pepe is moving around well right now, he isn't running with the limp anymore.

Falcons have the best punt coverage unit in the NFL last season, they allowed 49 yds...all year...just 49 yards.

C-Pep was very good. I think its his job to lose also Colbert sucks.

Ive always been a fan of DJ Shockley and he is showing why. His throws are on target. I felt that he was a much better passer than Vick and thought he may get a chance at starting but I believe that was the year he tore his ACL.

He is better than some starters in the league and is a serviceable back up.

After I praise Shockley he has a horrible second series ugh.

Aaron Brown looks pretty good.

I'd say yes, he looked good physically, he even had a left-right-left juke down inside the 5 yd line, and he looks to be 250ish or so.

Thanks Padre.

I'm glad. Culpepper has always been one of my favorite QB's, and I'm glad he is back in playing form.

I think the Lions were 4-0 last preseason. Hope they can carry over winning preseason games into the regular season games.

Don't quote me on this but I believe he's lost 30 pounds.

Aaron Brown looks pretty good.

I liked him coming out man. If he can manage to stay healthy, he can show his talent. He's very quick, can make people miss, has good hands - worked the slot role at TCU - and he's a good athlete.

Com-on guys C-pepp looking good? To me both of the young guys looked better. Stafford and Stanton both could start from what I saw. I know, each threw INTs but they also punched it in where as Culp did not and he was with the starters. Its a shame about Stanton cause I think he's good enough but he won't get his chance there, sad!:no:
