I had a huge smile seeing Denard's numbers scroll across the TV today.

 

A few of those runs looked like they were almost broken even bigger, too.

 

Hopefully this is the start of a good year for him!

"A few of those runs looked like they were almost broken even bigger, too."

Actually, I feel the opposite.  Most of his runs were classic "Oh, I guess there's no hole there...WHOOP 15 yard gain".  Just classic, classic stuff from him, especially on the TD.  I've been waiting for his crazy vision and cutting to show through; looks like he may be comfortable as an NFL RB now.

Harris, Woodley and Hall's years all end in "2006." What a team. But only slightly painful because they're all now having great careers and representing well. Great to see Molk and Martin starting in the NFL.
