Turk Schonert does have a role in contributing to the lack luster performance of the offense this preseason, but he isn't the biggest problem. The main problem lies with the guy running the offense/throwing the ball. To put the blame on Schonert would also indicate that if Tom Brady or Peyton Manning were to step behind center and run the same offense, they too would have similar stats the past few games - 7/11 - 45 yds 1 int; 6-13 - 31 yds 1 int.

I saw all that I needed to see on a drive in the second quarter: a play action pass was called. Trent fakes to Dominic Rhodes and Rhodes runs about a yard past the line of scrimmage and turns around to be an outlet. Trentative Edwards in fact NEVER looks anywhere else on this PA pass, eyeballing Rhodes the entire time. Rhodes gets blasted on a 1 yard gain. He could have had Lee Running open, Roscoe, Josh, a tight end, WHOEVER! But Trent NEVER surveyed the field for an open wide receiver. His confidence is non-existent right now. Hopefully he can make a few plays Monday night in Foxboro to get some of that back, but Im not counting on it...

Wasn't that last game where it was 3rd and goal from the 13 yard line and the Bills called a run play? Why throw into the endzone, DJ prefers field goals...

Why is this joker still on the team?!?! He must have naked pictures of someone in the FO. I was watching him exclusively on passing downs and I am beginning to think that if the OT that usually blocks him, just stood there and actually let Kelsay run around, he would run 15 looping yards around to the QB out of habit. There is NO WAY he expects to get to the QB on passing downs and I can see it in his effort. CUT HIM TOMORROW!! Biggest waste of money this side of Mike Williams!!

Go back and look at it. Rhodes was the only player that Trentative was watching. He was WAITING for the checkdown pass.

That's what happens when u routinely throw 3-4 yard passes. He hasnt even looked in Evans direction tonight.

It should also be said that Denney or Kelsay would have been at least 10 yards away from the QB and would have failed to get the sack that Maybin just had...

Ellison is a team captain?! Would explain y he still starts...

Just making those aware who live in Manhattan, that you can get the games live on your computer. However, I believe this is pricier than the DirecTV Sunday Ticket, no? I wouldn't do it, but some of you may... NFL Sunday Ticket Online

Somebody PLEASE tell McKelvin that you cannot give a 10 yard cushion on the 5 yard line! The Patriots, just like GB did with Jennings, will turn that into a quick pass and get 6 every time... He should either play press or stand on the goal line, NOT 5 yards deep in the endzone.

It's actually been around for a few days now. The full name is Trentative Checkwards. A beat reporter made it up, or something like that.

The coaching staff should at the very least make Kelsay play with the 2nd teamers. If he fails to make some sort of an impact in that situation, then YOU KNOW the $6M man must go...

Copeland Bryan did get really good all of a sudden. Besides going against 2nd and 3rd stringers, how is he able to look so effective? Is he on the juice?! Too answer your wishes: everybody would also like to see Nic Harris supplant Keith Ellison and Stupar/Nelson given a chance to supplant Schouman, but it probably wont happen with this coaching staff...

If Hangartner's performance this past game in the pivot is what we have to look forward to with 3-4 defenses this year, then this line needs to formulate soon. I know that having two rookies playing next to each other isn't ideal, but they are both intelligent and I believe they would be able to handle the responsibilities. Wood would be solid in the middle! Kent Hull part deux...

D. Bell got some playing time at LT with the starters and more than held his own. Perhaps the coaching staff wants to see if he is ready to move up sooner rather than later. It would of course jumble the OL once again, but if Bell can continue to hold his own against the other team's starters, my OL would look like this: LT: D. Bell LG: Andy Levitre C: Eric Wood RG: Brad Butler RT: Langston Walker Hangartner reprises his Carolina Panther role as first man off of the bench at G, C

McCargo was active, which was nice to see. He also blew up Puke Preston on a GB fumble (unfortunately Puke recovered the fumble).

There is A LOT of blame to go around with this team, but I would not put it on Evans. He cannot throw the ball to himself people. Insert Evans into Indy's offense and watch Peyton Manning make him a bonafide star...

Really?! I must have missed those accolades. But what I did see is Hangartner get bowled over by Raji twice... There was a reason why he couldnt hold a starting position in Carolina; this year, we'll see why (unfortunately)...

Charlie Coiner (Tight End coach) called Schouman the best TE on the roster, so either he was blowing smoke or Schouman isn't going anywhere. I also wouldn't cut Youboty. "You can never have enough CBs on your team" Cary Harris and Kelsay can clean out their locker tonight for all I care... Nic Harris should be practicing with the 1st team tomorrow. I hope that Maybin really turns some heads, because we have absolutely NO pressure coming from the DEs. Schobel is old, slow, and ineffective at this stage in his career...

He has stood out every game. It's time to get him some reps with the 1st stringers

Cary Harris is terrible

Here, here! This defines Dick Jauron's philosophy

He is a productive player, it will happen. Just be patient...

NO, we will remain status quo - Chris Kelsay is your starting DE, Schouman will remain the starter at TE, and Ellison will remain the starter at OLB

How has Copeland Bryan all of a sudden become a good pass rusher? Is he on the juice?!
