Redskins/Ravens will be the most interesting game. Why? Mike Vick.
Flacco has reportedly struggled, Snyder and Cerrato don't want Campbell (but reports are he's been practicing well), but if either QB struggles mightily, expect the Vick rumors to ramp up. Both clubs are closest to his home town of Virginia and either will make sense in my opinion.
We'll see.

i hope u guys do a liveblog of a day like this later in the preseason. all these story lines... would be interesting to share as the game went on.. just a thought. maybe would be better than liveblogging during a regular season game for that very reason... mult story lines. again, just a thought

I second the idea of a preseason liveblog. Or at least the questions to these answers. Was Hightower having trouble holding onto the ball, or was PIT just trying to strip everyone? There seemed to be several near-fumbles before the challenge.

Everyone was saying he was going to go to a team with a need at QB, but the fact is he is going to take over a year just getting back into shape

note that mendenhall didn't do squat until he was running against the AZ 2nd team defense. where are all those people who thought it was clever to have mendenhall higher on their draft boards than mcfadden back in April 08?
there's no way Vick will threaten McNabb's job, unless McNabb gets knocked out for the season and Vick plays better than he used to play. McNabb must be one of the all-time underappreciated stars, particularly by Eagles' fans. the guy is a class act and strong performer, and yet controversy seems to always find him through absolutely no fault of his own. remarkable really -- booed by Philly fans at the draft, rush limbaugh jumps on him, then the TO debacle, now this. mcnabb must have accidentally crossed a black cat somewhere.

As much as I hate the raiders, I think I might have to make a roster spot for shillens in my dynasty league. he looks a lot like brandon marshall. am I crazy? oh and mendenahall didn't look good imo. the biggest thing I saw yesterday was that warners hip is really bothering him. did anybody see him limp to the bench after he finished a sideline interview with suzy kolber? I think that definately makes AJ the #1 wr over fitzgerald.
