Yes, knock the rust off. I don't care how much practice they have together, nothing beats game-time reps. Some flattering comments from Santonio Holmes on Ben:

"Ben has been leading this squad for 15 plus years," said Holmes. "To know that that guy has continued to do exactly that, which is lead the squad and put the team in every possible situation to win every ballgame that he's played in...every young person that comes to play in this league has to understand how to adapt to his style of play."

"When he goes out, there's no play that is finished until he decides the play is finished in practice. So you have to be aware of how the game plays out because he's going to continue playing the game. If you develop that understanding of how he wants you to react to passes that are being thrown, situational football, you will be respected, you will get your opportunities to showcase what talent you have at that position and that's what what makes him a great leader."

I miss Santonio.
 
I'm all for his playing and I hope it's near a full half. He has been notorious for slow season starts and I think some of that is lack of preseason playing time. I know he knows a hell of a lot better than any of us here would know about his playing / readiness for the season. I'm glad we got him for another few years / SB wins
