my 2 cents on the first half...yours?

i posted this in the game thread...feel free to add your thoughts...I don't want to make more of it than it was, but it felt good to watch:

mostly good news

the only glaring badness was McCleon...but the D as a whole looked much more in synch and agressive

Wilkerson played well and may take Allen's job
Sims played well and had some great "hustle" plays that showed, imho, an improved attitude and commitment
Surtain is $$$$
DJ blew up a FB in route to hitting Warner...a freakishly awesome play
Mitchell looked good
Knight blitzed repeatedly and looked good
Kris Griffin is fast and may force them to cut Fujita
Sapp made some nice plays and tackles well

Sammie Parker was great...he caught a TD pass on a sweet slant route in the endzone, and he got 3 PI calls on Macklin who was trying to cover him...He ran good routes and showed a lot of enthusiasm

Green was sharpe
LJ ran like a man possessed. Killed people

Negatives:

OL didn't run block very well (but we were missing Shields, Dunn, Sampson, and Gonzo)
Kris Wilson was invisible
Tynes missed a FG
Dante may have pulled a hammy
McCleon is terrible

all in all we looked much more organized and eager...lots of individual performances to be happy about...I doubt I'll watch much of the 2nd half
