He broke his leg in his last year at Lousiville and didnt play last year either, correct.

Boy Mat Ryan really looked good tonight, and he was playing with, and against the first teamers. And Jax is no slouch in defense. He got pretty good protection too.

Against second and third stringers, i'd like to see him do that against the 1's
With 1st stringers blocking for him, sure.

what can i say, the Raiders apparently wanted to win that bad cause they know the ain't gonna win much when the real season starts.

actually I thought Michael Bush did well. Much better that McFadden IMO. McFadden is a wasted pick for them, and not getting Glenn Dorsey will comeback to haunt them. Bush will be the better RB for the Raiders.

Based on what ?

With McFadden, you can just chop his legs out from underneath him. He was just a little overrated coming out. He is big and can do things in open space, but his lower torso will be his biggest weakness. People and other teams will quickly notice that.

With Bush, He is a power back all the way around. He has more strength, IMO, to run through defenders. I know we had 2nd and 3rd stringers in, but he was punishing them.

Looking at that highlight makes me think that ATL has a solid O-line

Pretty good. Although 4 of those passes were not well placed at all and were saved by his receivers athleticism. But for a rookie..very good.

I'm not a Alex Smith hater or anything but if I remember correctly, Alex suked when he first played. If one was to say we had a bad team then their wrong cause Atlanta is bad or it's supposed to be bad.

Atlanta offense now is better then our offense in 2005. They have a #1 receiver in White, decent backups and should have a solid running game with Turner and Norwood. Also from what i saw the o-line played well and gave Ryan some time.

He (Ryan) still had a good game all things considered
