I'm not delusional or overly optimistic but a 27th power ranking (which we are as I type) is outrageous. We are no where near the 5th crappiest team in the league.
Nobody is talking about phasing in a rookie QB.
If anything, tell Tyrod to be Tyrod and run a lot and capitalize on his advantage...if/when he tweaks something and misses a few games we'll see what Peterman can do.
The way our new guys in the secondary played last week was really enouraging.
If we can continue to:
1. Get better up front on D (which I think we can)
2. Swarm in the secondary
3. Run the ball
4. Not make penalities or turnovers
...we will make the playoffs.
Bottom line being a good game plan, lack of mistakes, and good fundamentals will take any team in the NFL a long way and we have talent enough to put together a winning streak in this league if we do those things. It's not as hard as 17 years would leave you to believe.
We don't need a tear down and we are tearing down. We don't need a complete rebuild and we are doing exactly that. We don't need to kick the fans in the nuts and we kicking hard.
We are all doomed. It's all gone to hell. We're all going to die.
Tragic accident but HS football players can carry a log around together. Every year HS football players are hurt in the weight room performing any number of lifts, including those that involve lifting heavy bars above their heads. There is nothing inherently wrong with this drill. It was an accident.
Well, do you see this making us better?
Do you think Sammy is something defenses concentrate on or that he present problems? Does J. Matthews do the same thing?
Don't like it. I more or less get the rationale behind them, but the bottom line is both of those guys were good players. I do not know that the incoming guys net us out the same talent (I suspect they don't).
Hope I'm wrong! I know both our new guys are pretty good...and I know we got picks.
I'm just not going to sit there and care of the "if healthy" parts. IF you throw those out, we should be competitive. Every team has that problem, one of these days we'll have a good health season. Hell, last year wasn't terribl except for Sammy.
