1. The o-line is still doing its job pass protecting thats a relief. The run blocking is half and half. I still hate the fact for da second weak in a row charlie johnson doesnt run people over when they run 2 his side and he’s got a defender 1 on 1 with a running back behind him and he ends up stomping his feet . Yet overall the line has been good

2. Donald Brown has something Addai doesnt. That EXPLOSION when the o-line catapults him through those holes

3.Melvin Bullit keeps on impressing me (against probably the best receiving corp) hopefully he can turn as good as bethea is. crossing finger for 3/4 as good as bob sanders..

4. Collie is offically our 3rd down receiver on occasion and Garcon is the deep threat

5. Wayne is sick, Clark is 2 nice, and Garcon had Dominique Rodgers- Cromartie speaking french allll night

re:2

Does Gonzo make the field when he’s 100%? Im not attempting to underestimate him or overestimate the youngsters, but hear me out. Gonzo is a more complete player than either Collie or Garcon. But thats mostly because he can play inside and outside, is a veteran, knows the playbook, and has trust with Peyton. I think just from a ‘what God gave ya’ standpoint, Garcon is more talented, and Collie and Gonzo are close. One thing that I think both of them do better than Gonzo is block. This is only through 3 games, but both of them block like their roster spot is dependent on it. I still think Garcon has a ways to go to be a complete receiver. He’s scored on a go route and a bubble screen, things that make the most of his speed. Still needs to work on his route running and both he and Collie are probably still finishing up with the playbook.

And, finally, by the time Gonzo comes back, if its 8 week down the road (well, week 9), Garcon and Collie would have gotten their baptism by fire and will hopefully have developed that trust with Peyton. I was thinking ‘it would be neat to have a 4 WR set that didnt include someone like Aaron Moorehead’, but honestly, would you want to take Addai/Brown and/or Clark off the field, just to get Wayne / Collie / Garcon / Gonzo on the field?

Tony Gonzelez went the NFC so that should help. I think he was a lot of the reason Dallas has gotton close but not made it.

However, what will help is if our DTs can get the kind of pressure that Ed Johnson was last night. That will help Mathis and whoever on the outside.

Last week D stood for disaster, this week D stood for dominance.
Vinaitieri can kick a football right into your living room. (I didn’t know a kick was good if it hit the camera, good to know).
Dallas Clark and Peyton have something really special going on together, the last 2 weeks I’ve noticed them communicating to each other with their eyes. They are on the same page like crazy.
Reggie Wayne is worth his weight in gold. He and Donald Driver are the only 2 receivers in the league with 1000 plus yds in the last 5 yrs. Plus he saved an interception Sunday night.
I love how the offense is using the end around play.
McAfee needs to work on pinning teams back.
Rogers-Cromartie got schooled by the Colts.
Bullit and Bethea really stood out to me on defense.
Collinsworth is annoying the hell of out of me on Sunday Nights.
One last thing, Watching Peyton Manning at the line of scrimmage, moving around yelling out instructions, changing plays, gesturing, etc.,is a like good art, you just can’t take your eyes off it. ( I love being a female fan, I can get away with saying things like that.)
