  1. IMO:

     

    #1 Car - Fairley (esp now with Rivera at the helm)

    #2 Den - Peterson

    #3 Buf - ? (prolly Bowers or Dareus)

     

    Now, I must say the game I watched Clemson play this year (South Carolina) I was a tad on the underwhelmed side with Bowers. He was handled by one Olineman for most of the day and, once he the play was away from him, he wasn't going 100%. That said he did have huge stats in the sack category this year.

     

    I don't think any team can miss with Fairley. He's big, NFL-ready, mean and "dirty." I think the Bills could use about three of those types of guys but I'd be shocked if he fell to #3. Happy but shocked.

  2. I guess Henne shows that the Parcells "formula" for picking college QBs isn't infallible.

     

    1. He must be a senior, because you need time and maturity to develop into a good professional quarterback.

    2. He must be a graduate, because you want someone who takes his responsibilities seriously.

    3. He must be a three-year starter, because you need to make sure his success wasn’t ephemeral and that he has lived as “the guy” for some period of time.

    4. He must have at least 23 wins, because the big passing numbers must come in the context of winning games.

  3. I dunno. the Bengals won their division last year and if you get the injury bug you still shouldn't get blanked 35-0 in the second half. In my view this has less to do with their defense and more to do with Carson Palmer, Batman and Robin coasting/sucking.

  4. I'm not even sure if it was to the level of "pop gun." It may have been simply a picture of a pop gun. We are only now seeing just how bad it was - worse than the statistics.

     

    This offense, with largely the same players was routinely scoring 3-10 points/game just a year ago :)

  5. he's doing 100x more on offense with arguably the same (if not less) talent. That is a real positive. Once they get some more defensive talent this team may be closer than we think...hard to not give him high marks after yesterday's performance. I'm at the point now where Fitz should be the QB next year. No way a rookie will perform as well. Go get the biggest, baddest, fastest DE that can get to QBs.

  6. No, it's not.

     

    Chan said himself that he has no in-game involvement with the defense. If you start the argument there, we can. But the meltdown on that particular play had nothing to do with Gailey.

     

    I wish they'd go back to doing things the way they did under Fewell--Leodis. Yes coach? You're guarding Calvin Johnson today. Sounds good. Everyone got that? LEODIS is marking Calvin Johnson today.

     

    Gailey has to let his coaches know when to (or when they CAN'T) use timeouts. Making the Lions scramble to the 4th and 2 situation vs giving the time to think about it was not a good decision. If Edwards has that much leeway it should be rescinded after that.

     

    Completely agree about "marking" a player. The way Leodis was playing yesterday he should have been attached at Johnson's hip at all times.
