Frez Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 IMHO, our season rides on the Ankle of Marcus Stroud. If that ankle can stay 100% healthy we can have that winning season and hopes of making the playoffs will be alive. It's all about Strouds ankle!

If Stroud can play near his pro-bowl caliber level, it will be a tremdous boost to our run defense and make a huge diffrence. If he is damaged goods (and Jack DelRio is no dummy I might add), our defense will not be able to stop the run as the DL is basically the same as last year. Here's hoping Stroud is a bad a$$.

Stroud can be a major upgrade to this team if he's 100% healthy and ready to go week one. I'm telling ya, keep an eye on the big ankle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robkmil Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 It depends on Edwards development and unjuries. Like last year, our QB didn't improve and we had too many injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's difficult to nail an entire season down to a single joint in a single player, you're right to a significant degree. If that B-mofo is healthy, good heavens, it changes the entire equation. By the way, the offseason bites the big green weenie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flbillsfan#1 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have seen some highlights of jags games this offseason. I saw a number of plays Stroud looked good & as you say if the ankle holds up he should only be better this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'd say the defence rests on how the ankle works out The season rides on alot more then that, and I would say a vastly improved offence will be more of a factor, like one that can score more then FG's in a game. Last year, had the offence been able to score one TD more a game, the win/loss column would have looked much better and they would have been building off of a playoff season. The defence wasn't great last year (statistics make it look much worse) but it was good enough not to cost them many games, if any. In fact, there were some games that the defence was the only reason they were still in the game til the end (Denver, Dallas....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
