Game thoughts....Why it will be a long season
Once again the same thing I said after last week our poor defense is still poor, but the biggest problem this season is the O Line. Drew is not having a chance to settle in and it is taking him out of his game. The worst part of it is something we caught a glimpse of, the fact that this pressure and hurries and contact will eventually catch up to Drew and I fear an injury.
Even with an average D we have been able to out score opponets, the biggest change this year is QB protection. |

The down-side of a player holding out because of contract negotiations and not being in TC to get acclimated to new players!

Re: Game thoughts....Why it will be a long season
Why it won't...
Because there are no more Cam Newtons or RG3 spread QB's with blazing speed on our schedule. We knew our D needed time to adjust to a new system We'll get Greer, Patrick and Henderson back soon. Why you may be right... Our O-line looks much worse than simply losing Nicks. Something else is F'd up there. Strief and Bushrod look much worse than years past. |

Vick is no where near as cerebral as RGIII or Cam. And his wheels dont move as well as they used to.

Re: Game thoughts....Why it will be a long season
Luckily we'll probably have a high draft pick next year and can replace Bushrod... Or a linebacker... Or a CB... Or a safety... We're a mess!
