The preseason is, mercifully, almost above. There have been players that experienced exceptional gets under way. We have heard all about that company. I'm not going to write yet another article talking about how Carson Palmer tore up area in his first game back from injury, how Big.J. Houshmandzadeh has been catching everything anywhere near him, that Tom Brady showed Washington why he is Tom Brady and how Drew Bledsoe has been impressive in holding off a potential challenge from Tony Romo. I'm tired of hearing about those performances, especially when there tend to be other, less heralded players who have turned in impressive showings in the endless string of games that we have to endure before the real season starts.
