This is the perfect week 1 opponent imo. We could beat these guys sleep walking but we won't do that because it's game 1 and the guys are itchin' to prove something and knock the tar out of anything not white and gold. The real challenge will not be our team against theirs. No, the real challenge will be our individual players against the guy they're trying to beat out for their position. This game will give the staff the opportunity to weigh each guy against their challenger as they square off against the same opponent when the lights are on and the game matters. This game will go a long way to helping the coaches sort out all the position battles that still exist.
I'm tired of hearing CPJ say "it'll sort itself out..." when asked about who's gonna play where. Now we all get to see and judge. Another plus is that I won't spend the entire morning on Saturday with giant butterflies in my stomach. I'll be able to relax and plan my "homegate." I, for one, am really looking forward to Saturday!
