  1.  

    ....it's a helluva grind.......Shaun Alexander, Larry Johnson, Jamal Anderson, etc all took a beating........Sanders was smart and got out after 10 years....look at the great Earl Campbell, barely shuffling along at age 61..........

    yeah,they get pretty "punch drunk" after a while. It's a brutal position to play,no doubt. Somehow tho,the great ones manage to persevere by avoiding big hits. Some great backs have played into their 30's while being heavily involved in their respected offenses. I think Shady is on that level
  2. Neither do linemen LBs DBs.....

    oh,its common practice to pull your Lb's and DBs early in the fourth when we either are way up,or way down on the scoreboard? Id disagree with that. Thats normally reserved for skill players,like QB,RB,Etc.But anyway,whats the point youre trying to make? The discussion arose concerning RB....and particularly Shady's durability past 10 games
  3. Kouandjio has actually graded out well the last couple years playing RT in preseason and in games. He is so much better than his rookie year on the right side.

    yeah,but he can't withstand that for a whole season since his left knee is shot,and he can't push off to pass block. That's why he did better at LT
  4. The guy is so bad.

     

    How does this coaching staff sit there and watch tape for weeks, then even try to bring back Mills??

    Say what you will,but we did have the best rushing attack in the league. At least we didn't downgrade. And for the money we don't have,and a weak class coming out,we could've done much worse...
  5. Being from the Air Force Academy wouldn't he have to fulfill an obligation to them before being allowed to play in the NFL ?

    I think so,depending on his obligation. I think some see a brief summer stint,like the reserves,and others are a bit more. I could be wrong as I'm not an alum of the services,but I seem to recall different lengths of obligations
  6.  

    This is shaping up to be one slow-ass defense.

    $4.5M/year is starter money. Lo plays the SLB, Preston in middle, and Ragland at Will? Doesn't make alot of sense. Maybe we'll add a speedy WLB, but then who rides the pine? probably Preston.

     

    I still don't know what D McD is trying to build.

    I don't know his plans for this D, but speed should and will be addressed. I see Zo being used in obvious blitzing downs and certain sub-packages. But I'm not sold that he's automatically our starting Sam,or any other lb'er. I think it's either draft a Wlb,and put P Brown in the middle,with Rags at sam,or roll with Brown at Weak,Rags in the middle,and find a Sam in the draft.Zo comes off the bench in certain situations. Just my take on it anyway..
  7. he is stupid for hurting his career and his potential for a little drups and pot. He is stupid for lying to the team and the fans about treatment processes which he had no plan to fulfill. He is no longer a young man looking to find his way. He is the highest paid player (of close to it) and has failed to live to his commitment thus hurting his team, teammates and all the fans. Even you suggest only one more chance, our only disagreement is as far as I am concerned he had his last chance.

     

    he has been playing beside the most committed player on the team for a few years and that had no effect. By the time he grows up it will be time to retire. We let Gilmore go and he came to work. Dareus is a cancer.

    He's a kid who smokes pot. And it cost him,more importantly the team and the fans. That's what he did. He is NOT a cancer
  8.  

    I see his as sub package guy. No way is he an every down linebacker, but equally I agree about size for DE. But given base Ds are only played a portion of the time, I see plenty of chances in sub packages to be a good situational player.

    alot of versatility so far. I can't wait to see how the peices fit!
  9. Your such an awesome fan.

    Why,Yes,I am. And I'm looking forward to a much needed culture change. But I'm not in the habit of bashing the entire organization during rough times.

    You're such an awesome poster,FULL of infinite wisdom.

     

    They went to the SB in 85 and 96 and were otherwise in the playoffs in 94, 97, 98 (twice with Pete Carroll). B got there in 01.yup,and before 85? I'm just making a point about perennial losers who made the change.It happens

     

     

    Showing strong late in a week 14 game is not the most persuasive argument against the impression this guy gives that he doesn't take his job too seriously...

     

    The next time Dareus is the best player on this team will be the first time.

     

     

    And don't forget "build a bully"..

    They can change whatever culture they want, EXCEPT they better not mess with the TAILGATE culture. That, my friends is off limits.

    That's a fact!
  10. The negativity here can be credited 100% to the ineptitude of the Buffalo Bills the past two decades.

    the negativity "Here" can be credited to negative posters. Are you old enough to remember how inept the Pats were before BB & Brady? Yet they managed to change the culture.it was the right time,right people. The Saints,the Bucs...all with SB wins. I wonder how the negative nancy fans felt after their teams turned the corner? Probably not as good as the stick beside,always support your team type of fans.
