So what does everyone think about this?  Honestly, I see where Ben wants to play, he wants to be the go-to guy so he probably feels its "his" responsibility to get in there and make plays.  But I can't help but thinking, if he gets hit again, its Troy Aikman-Steve Youtn-all over again.  Plus, I'm totally confident in Charlie's matchups against the Raiders, although did I read somewhere they have the first ranked Passing Defense?  IS that true?  Or is that just because their run "D" is so suspect?  I see Willie jaunting it all over the place, as long as the O-Line shows its true colors.

Anyone hear anything else on Casey Hampton's injury?  Is it just me or are we getting killed with the injury bug this year?  We lucked out pretty well last year, I guess you are right Blitz, its catching up to us.
