I think if we are just a little pacient with Lydel and Mo Hall we will be pleasantly surprised. I dont think they have enough confidence that the hole will be there if they go full speed. That will come with a little game time. You could see a few spots in the game where they hesitated and allowed some of the defenders to get in position to stop them after a few yards. One play in particular was a play that Hall hit the hole just fine but if he had been going full speed from the start the Washington lineman would not have been able to get his hands on him at all he who knows what happens with his speed in the open field. I think it is close.

On the defensive side of the ball, I truely beleive we are better with D'andrea in the just from the athletisism that he brings. Pagac and D'andrea are gonna make mistakes from time to time but with Ds agility he can recover faster. I think he will be taking over that spot here soon. I also think Carpenter will be an upgrade to Reynolds when it is his turn. Dont take this the wrong way, I want Robert Reynolds out there now and all season, but Carpenter is really going to be a good linebacker for us. I think he has that AJ Hawk type of ball-finding ability. When he was in there he was just always around the ball. He made a few tackles but was there on a lot more. Those 3 are gonna be as solid as any linebacking corp in the country for the next 2 years. Plus with the deapth behind them, WOW!
