White Linen

Me too

I think you could be right but I think it's possibly more than adjusting. I think they're struggling to believe in the defense. I also think it's a bit extreme to think it's so complicated that this veteran group of defensive lineman are so lost it's translating to getting ran on and a paltry pass rush.

Next thing you'll know people will be saying a wrap is a sandwich. When will it stop?

I guess count me in as one of the ones that thought it would click on defense right away. I thought it was a match made in heaven and that making our defense at least as good as last year wouldn't be a challenge.

Exactly. And that's why he was also consulted about Rex and his opinion mattered - he wasn't just some guy on the sideline that was going to like it or lump it.

So you think Whaley has little power yet can decide on the going and coming off all players?

I don't give them a great chance but they have a chance with that defense. It is awesome.

So you want them to win and don't care how they do it or who they do it with? Then what's the point of being here?

Doesn't matter how many times you say it dezer - there's a litany of fans that just don't posses the ability to compare and contrast properly. It's about being upset and they feel smart by blaming someone.

Fred Jackson could've played safety

One of the games all time great defensive minds.

Everyone with half a brain knows Cassel is a miserable QB and you never ever want him to play. He doesn't even have the physical tools to help you.

For some reason my league let me pick up Deangelo Williams during their game. I'm new to this yahoo league and am not sure why they would allow me to do that with no waiver period.

Whaley is great at his job - not good - great.

Clearly our defense has underperformed - when our offense was healthy I liked what I saw not only from the players but Roman as well. The way our defense has played/schemed and the injuries to the offense are so unfortunate because I believe we were ready to come together.

Yeah but my point was it was meant to almost eliminate them. Players are now taking them out often at the mid or front of the endzone. That was a rare occurrence prior.

I know it's a different topic but it's been an epic fail by the NFL attempting to remove kickoffs for safety.

I thought the same. Sadly I started to mentally depend on him because of how important he quickly became to our success - I forgot what a mistake relying on Harvin is.

I want to see my team in the playoffs and I wouldn't choose anything over that.

How do you know you have one if you draft one each year?

Tyrod Taylor is better so I wouldn't trade - a nothing.

Kay Stephenson

He's "pissed of Houston" yet you think he'd be happy being our backup?

When I think of backup I think of two types of QB's. The first is one that come in and play in a pinch or have a short time to prepare and be ready to play - doesn't try to do too much and manages the game with hopefully few mistakes because of the conservative game plan. The second is someone learning behind the starter and learning - you hope your main guy doesn't go down so that it's not too early. I don't see EJ as either of these types of QB's and I don't see this team needing the second type. In other words he's not the backup this team needs. On this team he should have been 3rd string.

Should be fairly easy to find a QB all you have to do is want to and everyone knows you can easily pick out players who will get hurt and stay away from them.
