Season Opener!!!

Well, the NFL season is upon us!!! I'm soooo excited that it's really about to start!!! My team plays' on Thursday. Go Skins!!!!

I am also ecstatic that preseason is over. Can someone please tell me the purpose of pre-season? I know it's a chance for the rookies to show their skills however, I know most coaches put their starters in as well. I think this can be a really tricky move on the coaches part to put their starter's in, as many players can get hurt. Look at Osi Umenyiora and David Tyree. Also, Shawn Merriman is going to play hurt which can be a very dangerous move on his part. I believe Jason Taylor will not be playing on Thursday which will be very disappointing however, i'm just happy it's not a season ending injury.

I understand the starter's not wanting to play in pre-season because of the chance of getting hurt. The NFL should shorten the pre-season for this reason. There are a lot of opinions about this issue, negative and positive. I know you really can't control when a player gets hurt, whether it's practice, pre-season, or regular season but, I do believe chances are higher during pre-season, just because everyone is fighting to be 1 of the 53 players.

As I finish my first blog ever, I would like to say good luck to every NFL fan in America!!!! May the best team win!!!
