out against the Jags this week. Not a bad idea. No use in aggravating slight injuries.

That adds up to a boring game.

Preseason week 4 usually is. They wouldn't have played long anyway.

Yeah, I'm surprised SS is giving Ramsey the whole 1st quarter. Oh well.

Well... Ramsey does need all of the work with the team as he can get. It is a toss up!

Agreed, just don't want him getting hurt in the last preseason game.

Trotter hasn't played the whole preseason and the Jets have 2 pretty good running backs. and the best center in the NFL... This scares me..... am I the only one?

We won't be going up against too many team that don't have good RBs. The center should be handled by our DTs.

We should be fine against Vinny and the Jets. I don't think they'll be able to run the whole game and I don't think Moss and Sherbet can match up at all with Champ and Smoot. My only concern is moving the football, which I think we will do if The Visor is patient with the running game.

I like that nickname, "The Visor". I think we'll be fine also. This game is about seeing those players who are on the bubble.

I wish I could say I thought up that name, but there was an article last summer that constantly referred to The Visor and The Daniel. It's the small joys in life really...

Final preseason game is usually a snoozer. Thank God for the Maryland opener, which is also on Thursday night. [On NewsChannel 8, for those of you in the area.]

Here's a funny aside, however. I've learned that Parcells expects to play his starters "a majority" of their fourth preseason game. That ain't good. It means he doesn't know who is starters are yet.

Funny... none of us know who the starters were last year either!

Good idea to rest those guys, they all have little nagging injuries.

Well it is ian important game for the guys on the bubble. More difficult cuts need to be made and mistakes in this game can kill a career in DC quickly.
