Drew Bledsoe must feel like he's reborn. In Buffalo, opposing defenses would collapse the pocket on almost every play. In Dallas, he actually has the benefit of a pocket. That is the difference between pro-bowlers and cast-offs on your O-line. GO DALLAS!!

I wouldn't get too carried away, as at times Bledsoe was taking some good hits, and he was sacked 4 times. That is way too many sacks to give up from an O-Line that has 3 Pro Bowlers on it. We need to get better blitz pickups, and Flozell needs to concentrate more on containing the speed rushers on his side of the line.

Jake..don't forget that this is their first real game together and it was against a very quick defense. Everyone was saying they'd need 4-5 weeks to jell. With the next match against the deadskins, they should be 2-0. Not a bad start for a team that needs to jell :)

It is games against the Deadskins that worry me. I would hate to see us come out flat and then have to mount a last gasp comeback. I like the O-Line we have, but at times we make the dumbest mistakes. I am just not getting too hyped until I see the line settle down and start to consistently pick up the blitz and not make the dumb off sides or holding call.

At least 2 of the sacks were totally on Bledsoe. He needs to learn how to count to 3 or 4 & throw the ball away if nothing is there.

Lets not give Chargers any props?

That was a 12-4 team we dropped on the road....

Props to Bledsoe and team!

one of those sacks was Polite's fault, he let that guy come right around the line and hit blesoe in the back, didnt even get a chip on the defender and he was put in their to block on that play, he didnt pick up anyone.

Your right complete miss on his part, thankfully he did not just quit on the play because after screwing up and allowing the sacks that led to a fumble Polite at least got back to recover the fumble

The skins have a good D. This will be a tougher test for Bledsoe and the offense.
