I want to see our young DBs step up and play well.

I'll also be watching our O line and Neal.

I would like to see... M.M. just freak out on someone. Show some freaking emotion.

---

I heard he's been swearing up a storm at players practically every day in practice.

---

I would like to see someone step up and own the #3 CB spot. I would also like to see what Flynn could do with someone besides Barbre and Giacommini blocking for him.

---

Good comment on Flynn, I would like to see that also.

---

You mean with "somebody" blocking for him vs. nobody. There were a couplle of plays last week when the guy over Geno got there about as fast as if he wasn't there at all.

---

A bit off topic, but I do find myself wondering why so many of our injuries are on the defensive side of the ball, when it's the defense that's supposed to be doing the hitting. You'd think more of our injuries would be on offense. Of course, our running backs can't seem to stay healthy to save their lives.

The Colts game I was thinking about was earlier. Manning threw 5 TDs before halftime. And for awhile it looked like he'd have 5 TDs before the end of the first quarter.

I think it was in the Ahmad Carroll days.

I'm not saying the Packers are that bad. I'm just saying that Manning and company will provide a good test of how good they are (or aren't). I'd especially like to see what they could do against Manning without Woodson.

The Colts are well-known for not giving a lot of effort in the preseason, so I'll try not to get too excited if the Packers look really good.

The only real point of interest with our #1 offense in this game is Bulaga vs. Colledge. They've both played pretty well. Will one of them stand out over the other in this game? And if they remain on the same level, who will get the starting job? I think Bulaga will, because he has more upside.

When the #2 offense comes in, I'll be watching the TE's and Quinn Johnson. It would be nice to see Quinn Johnson take some snaps with the #1s. If he doesn't, it could be a sign that his days are numbered.

The #1 defense will be missing several players and will probably get lit up, but there will be some interesting things to watch for:

--Zombo!

--B.J. Raji hasn't particularly impressed anybody at nose tackle yet. It would be nice for him to show some flash in this game.

--Can Brandon Underwood bounce back from last week's dismal showing in Seattle?

--Can Morgan Burnett hold his own at safety?

As for special teams, I've kind of given up on them, but I'll be watching the punters of course. I think Bryan may have gained a slight edge over Masthay.

Yep. +1.
