Sean McDermott and Brian Kinchen want to know if they have to return their SB rings since you said they weren't really on the team....

Any idea if this game will be televised in the Arlington, VA area?

Unfortunately, other than Brady I don't know if I will get much from watching the starters. I don't expect many of them to bein the line up for very long especially if it is raining. Brady is the exception because all eyes will be trained to him.

My other four will be:

1.) Ron Brace - So much hype about this guy, I will like to see how he moves.
2.) Wheatley - I thought the guy was turning into a pretty good CB before his injury (well as much as a rookie could in midseason). I want to see if he can return and continue that progression or fall deeper on the depth chart behind Bodden, Springs, Butler, and Whilhite.
3.) Chung - I am hopeful he is the permanent replacement for Harrison because I feel that Sanders is a stop gap and can be a liability in coverage. The fast Chung progresses, the better this team can be.
4.) The return man dujour. Ok, this could be one of a half dozen people, but who will be returning kicks is probably one of the biggest question mark now that we have added Burgess and Honbs is gone. I want see if someone emerges from the group to be at least above average.

I'd be looking at our overall pass rush and how well our secondary knows their assigments. Keep an eye on our new/unproven edge rushers and CBs.

I still do not have my TV connected so I'll be on here following it.
