Just met Chilo Rachal

Well, "met" is a bit of an exaggeration. He was standing outside a store on Market St and I stopped to gush like a 9-year-old girl at a Miley Cyrus ass kissing contest. Funny thing was, he seemed really flattered, like he didn't expect people to recognize him. Hey Chilo, you're 6' 5" and 315 lbs., people are going to notice you.

I'm not a journalist, I'm a fan. So when I meet players, I freak out a little bit. Inevitably, I end up rooting for players I've met for no rational reason. Chilo's no exception. If you read this blog, expect to hear me push the guy all year. Starting now.

I like Jonas Jennings. I think the success the offense had in '06 was directly attributable to Jennings and Allen on the left side of the line. What's more, a lot of the guys on the team talk about Jennings when they talk about the team leaders. That said, if Jonas Jennings starts every game this season, I will eat my hat. Now that Chilo's bumped out to back up Jennings at Right Tackle, Chilo's virtually guaranteed some starts. I look forward to seeing what he can do.
