The atmosphere in the locker room will be quite and eerie as the Ponys suit up for their week one matchup with the Niners. There seems to be a lack of leadership amongst the new faces. This years squad will return only one player from the end of the 2007-2008 season (Randy Moss) and more importantly are without the 3 time pony Eli Manning. That isn't to say we are without familiar faces, both Issac Bruce (two years removed) and Hines Ward (05-06 and 06-07 Pony) are back for another stint with the team.
"It's great to be back." said Ward at a local post draft press conference. Hines went on to say "I know my role this year is going to be important but I also know how replaceable [ I ] am."
He couldn't have put it any better. When penciling in our week one lineup (after trimming the fat, and getting rid of the distraction (Steve Smith) the only brain ratteling decision I had was the WR/RB slot and I will say this right now; It is Hines Wards spot to lose. Otherwise this looks to be a very promising season and we at Tonys PONYS are very excited to see how it plays out.
Good luck to all.
