The first round draft pick should be a no brainer starter. Maybin is a project on a team that needs starters. The FO should have taken Orakpo who is a beast or Oher where we have big need. Either position is a big need for us. It's stupid moves like this that keep us in the basement.
Kildrive and Dan Henning seem to be doing better with their new clubs. Our real problem has been drafting. Until we get rid of Modrak, Guy and Russ Brandon we will continue to suck.
Remeber when Turk was fired and he said something about Dick's offense being pop warner like. I thought it was sour grapes, apparantly he was right. Dick must go!
The defense is not the main problem this year. Sure I would like a stouter run defense but the defense is OK for now. The main problem is the OL's inability to open holes for Marshawn or Fred. The pass defense could be better as well. If we can fix this one problem the team will be greatly improved.
I finally got to watch the Carolina game and have a few observations.
1) Fitz played pretty good. He only made three bad passes. The rest were catchable.
2) TO was not trying all that hard to make catches at the start of the game. Dropping easy balls. Then later on started catching the ball for whatever reason.
3) The O-line couldn't open a tuna can let alone open a rushing lane for Marshawn.
4) The D-line did OK considering the Panthers O-line is seasoned and the running game is their bread and butter.
5) The bottom line is the O-line has to improve for this team to improve.
Say it isn't so. My best memory is staying overnight in Hammer's Lot and cooking breakfast with a breakfast beer on Monday morning after a 1:00pm start on Sunday. By the way we won that game. Can't remember who it was against or what year for that matter. Good times.
I'll respect your space on the road and share nicely when cyclist's can move at the posted speed limit. There is this one road that cyclist's love to ride up and down because of a steep hill. The posted speed is 50 mph. Sometimes I get stuck behind two cyclist side by side going 10 mph and expect me to just cruise behind them at 10 mph the whole way. They wont move over! Screw that! If your impeding traffic then move over.
