Can I start arguing with you in favor of drafting Brady Quinn over Paul Posluszny now, or would you prefer to wait until February?

Damn, I didn't think we were gonna be Brady Quinn bad. Give us SOME credit. lol

I only hope we are in position to get Paul. Several good QBs in next year's draft. Posluszny will be the class of the LBs, and we have a FAR bigger need on D than O. So there. :P

We were really bad last night, and yes we might not win more than 5 games, but at the same time I also don't think we should be calling for the apocalypse because of one preseason game. I'm not a retard, and I'm not ignorant; I understand that this team has a lot of problems (especially on defense). However, there are several reasons to believe that what happened last night might not necessarily be a reflection of exactly what we can expect in the regular season.

First, Deuce only got 2 carries all night and they were both right up the middle. I expect the big fella to shoulder a big workload this season and really help this team control the clock.

Second, we didn't see Reggie used to his fullest potential. He was basically used as a conventional RB. He was not lined up in the slot, was not put on the field at the same time as Deuce, etc. etc. I think that there's a lot more to expect from this young man.

Third, our playcalling seemed very cautious. The first three possessions we ran it up the middle and didn't make a pass more than one or two yards down the field. I think Payton is going to have a slightly different approach in the regular season. Like whodi said, which IMO is a reason for optimism, when we did open it up and let Drew do what he does best and get Reggie into some open spaces, the offense marched 80 yards down the field.

That being said, our defense really blows. I was pleasantly surprised at how well our 1st team rush D played, but was sorely disappointed in how bad our secondary was. They couldn't cover one-legged receivers. Defense definitely needs to be addressed in the future, and I am seriously looking forward to having the opportunity to nab Posluszny.

6-12? i guess its possible

hagan714 · 08-22-2006, 05:06 PM

what along fall we all have had

papz · 08-22-2006, 05:31 PM

Geez it's still just preseason... I still say it's possible for us to win 9 games although 6 or 7 is more realistic.

leilung · 08-22-2006, 06:15 PM

6-12? Um... aren't there only 16 games?

Or is that the new math?

along · 08-22-2006, 06:24 PM

4-12...If we start building our Defense next year
we will have a chance to make the playoff by
2010.

5-11 to 7-9 is the best capable right now...After that game last night, it looked like our run D and reciveing is the only thing we dont have to work on...

Personally I don't think we will be top 5 in the draft next yr, but top 10, though...Like 10th, Paul will be gone and he doesn't play middle hes outside....Then we could go for the next highest LB, who plays middle, Rufus Alexander(My Sig)

But I think we all know our O won't play like that in the regular season...Our pass D probaly will be a bit better, but our O-line will be better on the left side
