Mr. Larry is an inside source of RTL's who is seldom off base in his predictions....he is like Chris Berman's cab driver during the John Butler era...... Mr Larry has a long track record of successful draft pick and other predictions--like Travis to the Titans...

I still can't see moving TD to put in Modrak....you hire the guy who is running personnel when inadequte personnel choices is one of your major issues??? Can someone tell me why this is a good idea...

I would tend to agree Stuck...I really like Jim Tressel--but no pro experience is the biggest drawback--he has no network at the pro level to draw a staff...Ferentz, Trgovac and Fassel would probably end up being my top 3... I am really struggling with this part of the change--but you know if we bring in new leadership at the President/GM level--you cannot saddle them with the previous coaching staff......

Look at this year's hot/vogue teams.... NFC Atlanta- Mora, Jr Charlotte-Fox Giants-Coughlin Seattle-Holmgren Bears - Lovie Smith AFC Indy-Dungy Cincy-Lewis San Diego-Schottenheimer Denver-Shanahan Jacksonville-Del Rio There's no rhyme or reason--no young or old--no trend in terms of offense or defense--except that the young coaches (less than 6 years) seem have a D background and the experienced seem to trend toward an O background.. There is not a rule of thumb contrary to the black and white status theat some on the board try to put on this... So whom..... Honestly--I wouldn't mind this.... President- Russ Brandon GM/Football Operations-Bob Ferguson--get him from the Seahawks--Give him the authority that Holmgren won't let him have in Seattle--hopefully he still has a soft place in his heart for Ralph. HC - Choices: Dick LeBeau (he is the closest thing to Marv--failed in an impossible situation but an impressive guy); Dick Jauron; Kirk Ferentz; Jim Tressel; Jim Fassel; Mike Tgrovac (Panthers D Coordinator)...

Must have been the old "bone" stunt.....

Way to insult a pack of good looking dogs with that avatar....jeez CL...I am calling PETA right now...That is cruelty at its worst...

Exactly...appropriate smiley...

Maybe that's been done..you never know about Wicky in the locker room

Simon and Garfunkel would kill our D with ---Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme

He will be enjoying a nice severance that will be paying him for two years of sitting.....joining Rob Johnson and Mike Williams as the biggest beneficiaries of Ralph's benevolence to the unemployed

Wile E. Coyote---genius.....

I can buy this only partly Mad...we are talking about a guy who has shown nothing his entire NFL career...he attempted 59 passes in 5 years up until today..with a 44% completion percentage and 3 TD's and 5 INT's....I want to puke....Are we really THIS bad?

I am sorry...I just can't believe it...I knew coming in today we were not a good football team...but Sage Frickin' Rosenfels shouldn't even have a job in the NFL. I saw a post comparing Sage Frickin' Rosenfels to Frank Reich..folks I knew Frank Reich, I saw him play and Sage Frickin' Rosenfels is no Frank Reich.... Oh well--four games left...and JP is becoming more and more fun to watch...there is absolutely no reason to get conservative now----let the kid sling...get some more on film of him throwing that beautiful deep ball of his..it will set a tone for next year.

About half the people on your list may be in resume building mode..that is strong motivation...

It might be a sage move to bring in Rosenfels.... I heard he looked good a couple of days in camp. He was stylishly dressed with hair nicely combed.

Okay--what offense put on our uniforms???....did the Colts travel plans get screwed up?

He does have a promising second career as a matador.....say what you want about Josh Reed, but the darn kid is a willing blocker... I read something once about a vision problem that was not correctable. This was supposedly impacting his ability to pick up the ball and causing drops. Here is something from footballguys.com that mentions it... Peerless is item #1 Price struggled to make an impact in Atlanta for a variety of reasons. He was not physical enough to be a true #1 WR, Vick often struggled with his accuracy as a passer, and there were reports that Price had vision problems which were affecting his play. Reuniting in Dallas could be a great fit for him as he's already had his best season with Bledsoe at QB, and players like Keyshawn Johnson and Jason Witten should draw most of the defensive attention so he won't have to face top CBs or many double teams. When he is given time, Bledsoe still throws one of the best deep balls in the league so Price and Terry Glenn should make inviting targets if the offensive line can hold up.

B-Dawgg 12--thank you for adding a shred of optimism to the board this evening. If it weren't for you and a couple of positive comments about JP's development, this board would be like the Michael Irvin fan web-site this evening...at least they are probably all getting high. I love your optimism--to you 3rd and 47 (to steal Bill Cosby's old routine) is just a challenge/an opportunity--or another chance to expose Nate Clements/Jeff Posey/Coy Wire (fill in the blank) if you are a Bills opponent..

I am starting to agree--we may stand a better chance of winning without MM... sorry Gray--had to do it

What channel is Extreme Team Makeover--Buffalo edition?

Yes--our toddler QB is starting to grow up...he possesses quite an arm (The laser beam outs, the touch on the pass to Reed in the 2nd Qtr)...as soon as the on the field brains catch up, we may have something here... He faced a relentless pass rush today--and will again next week...for that reason alone it may be too soon to take him out of diapers just yet..but real underwear is just around the corner...(can you tell what stage we are with our 3 year old)...

A big second of that motion from here....guts, resolve, smarts would also be on my list

One year....2006..... Just a combined feeling of JP's development Roscoe getting comfortable Kevin Everett The quality of Interior OL in Free Agency and the quality of OT in the draft TKO back on D

The waterboy showed more closing speed and displayed superior coverage skills. I don't know if anyone heard the Jim Kelly interview on WGR on Monday...Kelly said something like, "Nate picked a bad year to be asking for money. He has been horrible." Just last week I said pay Nate...call me stupid....
