I was at the game last night and figured I'd share some of the experiences with you all.
- Obviously it is an amazing facility. I thought it was funny that there seemed to be a Steelers fan around every turn, many of them saying things like "this stadium is okay, but it's nothing special." Good stuff....
- I was thrilled to see our first team offense and defense basically shut the Titans down and was very happy to see the starters in until half-time (and some even later than that).
- I thought that Crayton looked like a great #2 WR last night. It's sad that his entire career to this point has been made by one bad play because he's vastly underrated by our fan base.
- Speaking of fan base, I've been to a lot of stadiums around the NFL (17 in all to this point), and we have one of the quietest crowds I've ever heard. It's not just the new stadium, I realized it at Texas Stadium too. It won't matter if we have 100,000+ people at the game if everyone is doing the golf clap after every big play. So, if you happen to go to a game this year, get freaking loud.
- Judging by where I was sitting, the field-level suites look pointless. I can't comprehend how anyone can see from behind the players at below ground level.
- I know it's only pre-season right now, but man Romo looks good. In the past I've thought that he looked lost at times, last night we thought we were watching Tom Brady. His pocket awareness was on par with the elite QB's in the league, his accuracy was amazing, he protected the ball, and seemed much more comfortable overall.
- Flozell looked better last night than at any point in the past couple of years. On the TD drive right before the half he got off the ball as well as I've ever seen and his kick-step was powerful and fast on each one of those plays. He was so fast in fact that a few times he was the first person on either line to get off the ball.
- Felix Jones might be the second most important player on the team. He is by far our most explosive weapon on offense and should give DC's nightmares all year long (assuming JG keeps the offense interesting).
- Octavien needs to make this roster.
- Brooking is already better than Thomas was last year. The guy brings an attitude that not only our defense, but our team needed.
