Five Things To Keep an Eye On:
1. Rookie quarterbacks in their debuts. Andy Dalton and Cam Newton.
2. New additions in New England; Ochocinco and Haynesworth play well to start season?
3. New faces in new places. How did the shortened off-season effect free agents.
4. Philadelphia Eagles new secondary against Sam Bradford. How does DRC, Samuels, and Nnamdi play together.
5. September 11th effect and the ceremonies on the field and throughout the stadiums. Green Bay started it out in a first-class way Thursday and expect it to continue.
Enjoy the games as football is back, but also remember those who lost their lives in 2001 and all of those who have given up their lives to defend this great nation we live in. USA!
