Good to see fellow rookies get a chance

It sure will be good to get back to our stadium and see (and hear) all the fans for Sunday’s game against Philadelphia.  We put that New York loss behind us right away and started preparing for the Eagles.  We’ve had a good week of practice and we all know Philadelphia has an outstanding organization with players who know how to win.  But we need a win too.  I guess that’s why we have to play the game on Sunday, right?

I’m not sure about the status of Jared Gaither, Willie Anderson or Adam Terry for Sunday’s game but it will be a great opportunity for other players to step up and play and that’s a good thing for them.  David (Hale) and O’Neil (Cousins) both got some snaps in New York and even though it came in the 4th quarter I know they were grateful for the opportunity.  They’ve been working hard all year for their chance and as a fellow rookie, I felt good for them on Sunday when they got in against the Giants.  I hope Jared and Willie are both healthy enough to play again soon, if not this Sunday, but David and O’Neil will do just fine if called upon.

It’s going to be a lot fun over these last six games.  We’ve put ourselves in a pretty good position 10 games into the season.  We just need to keep having fun and stay focused and we’ll be fine.  I have a lot of friends and family coming down for the game so I need to treat them and the rest of the fans to a win.  I’ll be doing my best for all of you, that’s for sure.  Have a great Thanksgiving next week!

   Joe,

   Get to 7 wins with a victory over the Eagles on Sunday!….get a lead so that Donavan and Andy start to squirm!!!!

   I like your confidence with fellow rookies Hale and Cousins. Since you wine and dine your OL they better take good care of you and protect!!!!

   Good Luck,

   Hey Joe,

   Congrats on a huge victory yesterday! I was at the game it was nice to see you have such a great win after a long time away from the homefront. I know you guys will continue to stay focused and I am starting to have visions of the P-word. For now lets call it Festivus. Do you know about Festivus? More importantly, do you know about Festivus Maximus? If not, just Google it and you will understand
