Basically I saw a decent offensive effort wasted by many bad decisions and stupid mistakes in the first quarter.  Roland did have a late hit.  Faulk was very obviously down and the players were coming to a full upright and loose position...Roland just made a mistake....

Green looked good and while I would love to graft his brain into TB's body, I'll stick with Green in the absense of transmogrification! :-)

Faulk showed flashes of what will be and I am very excited.  Had he played the entire game he would have broken 100 yards...

Torry Holt will make a strong run for offensive  rookie of the year. His run after the catch was a thing of beauty, very Rice-esque for the 49er lovers out there...oh wait, wrong venue to make THAT comment! :-)

I would love to see Rodney "No Respect" Williams make the team...maybe he can find a role on the practice squad or something...he made a great tackle on one of his punts and showed a love for making the play with this really cool  (dance?) after the tackle...mainly it showed his enthusiasm, and just a tad bit of cockiness...But I have to say losing Tuten may be a mistake...glad I ain't a coach...

Jeff Robinson...La Player De La Menage A' Trois...I suspect that he will be off the D after 99.  He looked pretty good as a receiving TE. Can't see much blocking on TV...unfortunately...

Germaine looked better, and Watson deserves a roster spot and regular playing time spelling  Faulk et al.

Tucker at tackle...as has been said several times this week,  Hanifan is moving the players around to shore up the depth chart. Whatever he is doing it should not be taken as a reflection positive or negative on the player  out of position...

Wilkins had a 50 yd FG...glad he is here...

Dre' Bly  made a couple of nice  plays, first breaking up a pass for a sure TD and then causing a fumble on a sure TD...I think Ike may be right...Prime Time, Part Deux!  Taje Allen is nothing particularly special and is replaceable..
