Anyone starting to realize Patrick Robinson may be our best CB?

Put me in that number..Mr. Robinson will be starting before long...although Porter slipped on that pathetic field they have ...

I was glad to see Wilson playing better and Jordan as well..He was getting double teamed on some plays..

The slogan still stands...WRAP EM UP....i cut them a little slack because of the field conditions..

I agree with this. I was in the Astrodome years ago when the NFL canceled the Oilers game because of a bad seam in the turf and that's what eventually allowed Bud to move the team to Tennesse. So if a turf seam is bad enough to cancel a game, what could be good about dirt to grass that has a 2 inch height difference. No way can I fault Porter in missing that tackle coming off knee surgery and having to play on that field. Same with Colston not coming out of a break to cleanly. That field sucks this time of year and not much better after baseball season is over.

Our best cover corner. There were plenty of scouts making the Deion comparison(athletic wise) when he was coming out of college... just a little raw.

From what I can tell from this forum you're often not correct.

Vilma speaks highly of Shanle. So does Sharper. Who the phuck are you to go against their word? A couch potato with a keyboard that couldn't tackle a dead poodle?

Try to not be a whiner your entire life, little boy. That is all you do here, ABOUT YOUR OWN TEAM. How lame and disloyal can you get?

Who taught you to be such a whiner?

You have moments where it appears your medication is working well and sometimes it appears the nurse forgets to give it to you.

But I do like Led Zeppelin alot!

Here is what I learned..

1. Bell is a RUNNINGBACK!

2. We are good if not great at the TE position. JG has a good shot at the Pro Bowl.

3. Shaun Rogers can PLAY, when he wants to. What a PLANT he laid on that QB!

4. Patrick Robinson is going to be good.

5. There is no way the defense is running at Full Speed. I full feel they are not going to "Show their Hand" to Green Bay. We will see the REAL Defense during that game. (Dear Lord, I pray I'm right)

6. Zach is just as good if not better than Stinch.

oh yeah...

7. Devery can still CATCH the BALL!

One thing I did NOT learn last night, but realized it a couple of years ago, is that for whatever reason it is, Porter and Greer always look kinda bad in preseason...I cut them some slack, so I am not at all worried about either of them right now, except for the possibility of them being injured at a later date. But Robinson does look very good, just a little raw.

Not impressed with tackling. Not impressed with "overpursuit". Not impressed with LB in coverage. Not impressed with Man coverage that starts 10 yards off the man.

Very impressed with O-line YESTERDAY. Let's see them in a real game.
Very impressed with Bell against their scrubs.
Liked what I saw with Robinson, though he is about halfway there.
Really liked Graham.
A bit disappointed Chase didn't hit those wide open receivers or avoid pressure.

I am happy that we won... lmao.... Offense looked great last night. Daniels kind of took a step back imo, but he's just the back up anyway, so no harm, no foul. Bell looked GREAT, against mostly back ups, but good none the less...... The D-line were getting pressure on passing downs, but when the Raiders went to the ground, it got ugly. They killed us on screen passes all night, and imo, screens should be a specialty of our defense, considering they practice against our offense, and screen passes are one of our biggest assets. Missing Franklin, is going to hurt us, so I'm really hoping he gets back, before we go to Green Bay.

It's like my dad said, pre-season means squat. Nothing..... We won the first half last night, and that's winning a pre-season game to me.
