Yeah, it's pretty baffling that they can have two of the best young linemen in the game (Nicks/Evans), but when it comes down to it, they can't get the important yards.
There's obviously room for improvement from last night, but I can't say I'm too disappointed. I have a feeling these two teams will see each other again, hopefully in the Superdome.
Edit: Wow, that Burress column is bad. What an idiot.
