Green Lightning

Sanchez is not close to an elite QB and a great D and awesome running game was all that was needed. The OP's point was draft D and I agree.

But "The Hoodie" is a genius! How could this have happened?

No more experrments at RT! Pick up a solid run blocker & pass defender in FA. Nobody on our roster is good enough.

I hate the Lakers. And you, why are you wasting your time and ours by posting here if you don't care and have given up on the team? Move on and play kiss-kiss on a Laker fan site. (you're right about Kolb though)

I'm with you on this Old Timer. Both points are well made. I wish TSW can make a point about a player's abilities and fit on a team without the hate and vitriol. Be passionate about our team without demonizing a player's personhood. I get mad every now and again and write something over the top (read Kelsay) but I regret it soon after. If a player needs to move on - fine, make your point but do it without the hate.

Hate the Jets. Just hate them. But there is nothing more odious on earth than the Pats. Go Jets!

I get most of that. It still boils down to great coaches have great QB's and Brady's the best.

I'm waiting for Astrobot to chime in here.

I'll take any of the first three.

See thread on trading down.

You couldn't trade Maybin and Kelsay for bag of Ben Gay.

The OP has it right. I get sick of hearing how easy it is to trade down and get scads of picks. It ain't. If we can get a game changer at #3 let's just take him and shut the pie holes.

So that speaks more to Brady's abilities. I stand on my opinion. Belichek is a great coach but Brady made him the best.

I think you're in the minority on that. They did miss a beat - and the playoffs that year. Granted they were 11-5, but only had the Dolphins as competition in the AFC East. It was a team loaded with talent and FA's. But without Brady, there were a foot note. Take Brady out of the picture the last several years and Belicheat would be a solid winning coach with a great FA and owner to help. He uses the player's talents well. He's a great coach, but he's not a genius. I'll also point out that the glut of his assistants haven't panned out all that well. They would have if they had taken Brady with them. We'll see when Brady hangs them up.

Could be expensive for the Browns, having to install all those TV's in the weight room. Maybe he will want to take Maybin with him.

Plite? Frankly race had nothing to do with it. It was someone daring to take a poke at media darling St. Tom. Love to see Cromartie do a pick six this weekend. But as someone posted in this thread, my disdain for the Pats has me conflicted with cheering for the hated Jets.

Yeah, he's a genius. Take Brady away and he's not such a genius anymore. The best coaches have great QB's. Shanahan was a genius when he had Elway, Tomlin looked good with PigBen and Farve made some coaches look great. Belicheat had marginal success as an HC until Brady was his QB.

I'm with you. We need impact players on D now.

Thanks for the link John.

Jesus Beavis, lighten up. We're talking some football here. What's wrong with that? I want to hear what he as to say. Fans are funny that way.

Who cares who crayonz is. the posts are never worth the effort it takes to read them....so I never do.

Great, another receiver. Well Hell, I'm all for it - IF - Green can also rush the passer and shut down the 200 yards plus a game we are puking up. Short of that, get some big mean-ass front seven players so our offense can get on the damn field.

He also made an interesting point on coverages re: 4-3 vs. 3-4. He says there's really no difference in coverages between the two sytle defenses but says the 3-4 will put more pressure on a QB to naturally help the secondary.

Umm, small, explosive and fast. All good for a safety and sounds too much like Maybin for my tastes. Let's get some damn beef in here that can blow up an OL!

Regardless of his HC experiences, the guy is a great DC and he's all for the 3-4 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=nfp-20110111_wade_phillips_to_install_a_34_defense_in_houston
