The Good
No holdouts. Jamaal Charles, Justin Houston and Alex Smith were on the field for the first game.
The weather has been really nice. At 8:15 a.m., there have been a couple of chilly mornings (yes, I complain when it's too cold, too).
Alex Smith is obviously the best quarterback on the field.
The defensive line is heavier. Allen Bailey and Mike Catapano are both near 300 pounds.

Rok Watkins was waived after hurting his back. I thought he'd be a contender at right guard.
Gas. I'm filling up every three trips.
The Ugly
The offensive line without Donald Stephenson, who has an ankle injury.
