Pick looks even worse than retrospect.

How does a linebacker get an offsides penalty?

Do they even try to disguise their blitzes, or is it just Curry?

Hah their secondary is so bad I saw a mock draft give them Berry, and then in the 2nd they still felt they needed to get a CB. Now thats bad.

It's not that tampa 2 is a bad defense

So much as any zone coverage is a bad idea when you have a reciever like Johnson and a QB in Schaub who can pick apart zones all day.

by Bryan72076 on Dec 13, 2009 1:04 PM CST reply actions  

Its all about who you have on your defense. But you need the right personnel.

by nolander on Dec 13, 2009 1:05 PM CST up reply actions  

Which we don't, so either the DC gets fired tomorrow or we blow apart the defense.

Either scenario or both works for me

Why is it

Players who have cost us games like the Brown twins and Myers seem to stay perfectly fit as a fiddle all year while our good players drop like flies? Think opposing coaches tell their players “whatever you do, don’t hurt Chris Brown!”?

i dont feel comfortable with a 17 point lead at half .

Suisham?

Shaun Suisham is arguably the worst active kicker in the NFL

by Fearless Frog on Dec 13, 2009 1:29 PM CST up reply actions  

I don't know, think he's made something like 79% of his FGs this year

And hit at least one from 50+. He’s not the best in the league, but you’re not going to get the best in free agency this time of year and it’s a crapshoot bringing in a rookie.

by Bryan72076 on Dec 13, 2009 1:31 PM CST up reply actions  

Good point.

We cut a kicker during training camp that we draftedin the 7th, Brandon Coutu, he would be worth a look
