My keys to this game: 1) We must win the turnover battle by 2. Our offense needs at least two additional possessions to make up for it's lack of being able to sustain scoring drives. 2) We must win possession time by more than 10:00 minutes. Our defense cannot afford to be on the field longer than our offense. Our offense is not efficient enough to overcome less possession time. 3) Game Plan. Our game plan has to be inventive. We must keep Miami off balance and do some things they don't expect. They are extremely vulnerable against the pass, which seems contrary to what we can do, but our offense has to be creative through the air.

Why do you think we didn't trade him to Denver a first round pick?

Me too.

I generally think it's a great idea to make long term decisions on rookies (cutting them), after one game. That really is enough to see what you need to see.

It's not about drop off for me. It's about getting EJ the games in for the invaluable experience they provide. The hope is the more he plays the closer he gets to being our savior at the position.

You seriously don't think they thought that through?

With due respect to Easley's stalwart special teams play, he must not be beating these guys out in practice. As others have said this coaching staff is clearly willing to give chances. We have to assume they aren't holding him back, he is.

Most definitely.

I don't know about run-stuffing but he's definitely done a great job on the edge.

I heard him say that live and thought "wow those words are still tough to listen to". Haha

Great post.

I sure hope so. Maybe Hackett is a better teacher than game planner.

I think it's certainly possible hamstring and lower back pain could be connected. To say they are connected would mean you think they always are and that is just simply false.

I have two boys 7 & 8. My heart is broken for that little boy.

Sounds like you didn't know him personally either.

It's not a lie if he believes it.

No way. I couldn't handle another weak armed QB.

The brought in John Beck and Matt Leinart and of course eventually signed Leinart. How do you think Leinart looked? By then they felt very good about Manual making it back. They felt good about being able to develop Tuel into a better option than any veteran available. I just don't see how you can get all over them about this.

He was my choice also.

As apposed to that much accomplished NFL QB we should sign? Who would that be?

So you want to make the same mistake Sand Diego did?

Signs aren't good enough in my opinion. He's a starter and doesn't play like one. I just don't see him doing enough good to compensate for the drops, terrible routes, lack of toughness, and pockets of time where he's invisible. I believe he'd already be out of the lineup if Goodwin was healthy.

Maybe you should evaluate the use of their.

So you wish we didn't have EJ Manuel?
