First of all, don't blame Newman for Sensabaugh not looking for the football. That is an interception if he just turns his head around. The SS had him covered like a blanket but never even looked for the ball. It was one play, but it was a real bad one.
Second of all, it wasn't Jared Allen who had his way after Adams left the game. It was the almighty Ray Edwards who destroyed Marc Colombo.
Again, Colombo is going to have to show me that he can still move and block guys like Julius Peppers before I declare him "healthy". He may "look healthy" now, but they are not even in pads. Let's see how he holds up when DEs start leaning on him with their weight and really come after him.
Anthony Spencer, in training camp, should be a big test, too.
It will not take long to find out.
Peppers and Mario Williams will be on the docket early. If Colombo is the player he was before the injury, he should be able to hold his own with these players.
I would like to see Alex Barron play LT and Doug Free play RT.
We will see.
