  1. Agreed with your comments on the defensive players, certain postions do lend themselves to more instant impact. Maybin has not showed anything though so it's very disappointing/disturbing. I am still sickened by passing over Haloti Ngata and taking Whitner.
  2. We drafted Moulds in the first round in the #24 slot. Receivers are known to take a year or two for the most part to develope. RB's and defensive players usually have greater success right out of the box. Maybin is such a bust, he will not be on the team next year. Listen, every team no matter the sport misses on draft picks and free agent's all the time, the difference is the better teams are right more than they are wrong. That's not the case here, as soon as Polian left we have been drafting below 50% on hit's and below 50% on free agent's so we just aren't getting it done.
  3. Stating the obvious here but the firing of Bill Polian was the lynch pin in the overall collapse/demise of this franchise. That is all on RW.
  4. Your right we should be thankful and positive because that will be positive karma towards the teams goals. I think the negative postings are more than justified at this point. Doesn't mean you’re a bad fan just because your fed up with this franchises ineptitude, it is frustration boiling over.
  5. He went to Indy off the street, Polian thought enough to snap him up at no risk.
  6. Sorry I must have missed the part where he went through the 2010 season as a "changed" person and was elected to the Pro-Bowl and was given a key to the city.... It's a little early to label this a success story IMO.
  7. Worth keeping tabs on if he falls into the 6th round, I bet the Jets or Giants grab this kid.
  8. I just hope our scouting department is on this guy, we need some "Tom Brady" luck to turn this ship around.
  9. Residing in the NYC area read a bit on this guy in the local paper yesterday. A pro scout who asked not to be identified was certain he had made a mistake. His stopwatch read 4.91 seconds, but the player who had posted the time stood 6-foot-4 and weighed 317 pounds. “Guys that big just don’t run that fast,” he said. So he clocked the huge offensive lineman a second time: 4.93. The stopwatch wasn’t malfunctioning. Those were Fordham offensive tackle Andy Tyshovnytsky’s times. And they weren’t his only mind-boggling numbers of the day. He also bench pressed 225 pounds 33 times. “Guys that big that move like that don’t grow on trees,” Dan Mogollon of NFL Draft Bible told The Post. “If you can steal a guy like that late in the draft or as a priority free agent, you’ve saved yourself a lot of money.” Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/more_sports...L#ixzz0lk1e4PUC As scouts pored over tapes of Skelton, Tyshovnytsky literally stood out. Then they saw his freakish athletic ability and the interest among NFL teams, which isn’t a surprise compared to other elite tackles in this draft. Bryan Bulaga ran a 5.26 and bench pressed 225 pounds 26 times. Anthony Davis of Rutgers ran a 5.38 and did 21 reps at 225. Tyshovnytsky was named the National Strength and Conditioning Association All-American Strength and Conditioning Athlete of the Year. He weighed 257 when he got to Fordham, but made the weight room a second home, especially after undergoing the same surgery as former Eagles running back Bryant Westbrook. “Andrew is a true example of how hard work can turn an undersized freshman into an all-conference, dominating player.” said Fordham strength coach Ted Perlak. Reminds me of a Peters situation, under the radar but then turning into a great find in a year or two. I hope our scouting department looks under every rock and covers every base out there, especially when the prospect is in our own state. It will be intersting to see where this guy lands and how he pans out.
  10. Does anybody have his stats on challenges? I can't imagine he is on the plus side of those, the guy should not be a HC, maybe a defensive coordinator tops.
  11. It's looking like 0-6 in the Divison again, I hope not, but after losing to Cleveland at home and as the injuries mount it is looking bleak.
  12. Agreed, we need a new GM that knows what the hell he is doing.
  13. Trouble is 2010 QB class is not impressive.
  14. I know I will killed for saying this but he did catch it backing into the end zone, he mayhave not known if he backed in or was in when he caught it. But one thing you can't argue away is trying to fight for the extra yards, fall down!
  15. The one thing that can't be over looked is the odds makers. These are the real pros when assessing a match-up. I'm not saying that they are 100% but I trust their insight more than ESPN and all the other so called “experts” predictions and 10.5 is a lot of points. That being said I hope we win at least 2 division games this year.
  16. Are you serious? You think it's a big secret that our o-line isn't vetted and ready for what is upcoming this season? I think even the casual fan is aware that we are going to need some smoke and mirrors till this line gets some game time under their belt. I think his talk makes him look like a dumb A**
