On Green. What surprised me was not just that he got the job done and did so with such efficiency, but that he looked so damn good doing it! Those deep balls to Ike and Torry were beautiful passes and they DID remind me of Chris Miller in Ike's early days. I had no idea what to expect from him in game action even after watching him closely on the practice field, but I certainly did NOT expect THAT! My concerns prior to this morning centered almost solely around Trent Green and now they're gone.

I guess it's sort of silly to base so much of one's opinions on two series in a preseason game, but I don't think it's totally rediculous because what Green showed me and those of us who didn't see much of him in Washington last year was that he does have the physical ABILITY to go with the rest of the package... the mind and the heart of a leader that we've heard so much about this off-season. Whether he can perform at that level on a consistent basis is a good question, but the SKY IS THE LIMIT BABY! And if Trent plays consistently at anywhere NEAR the level he displayed last night, then this should be a very fun season for all of us.

I also noticed Green on the sidelines. Although TV is not very conducive to critiquing players because you can't lock onto a guy and follow him through a series of plays like you can live, I thought it was a good omen when they showed Trent on the sidelines cutting up with a group of defensive players that included Kevin Carter, Keith Lyle, and Todd Lyght... the holdovers and the veteran leaders on the defense. It's good to see those guys happy with the direction things are going in and that bodes well for a new winning attitude on a team whose longest standing members have never seen a winning season in the NFL.
