i_am_the_swammi Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 If by 'funnier' you mean tiresome and annoying like an obstinate 4-year old, everyone else here would agree. for a minute, I thought his act was wearing only on me...and I used to quasi-respect the dude....the same-old, same-old gets, well, old after a while.

Bronco Billy Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 While I will agree that the O needs him, and needs him badly, the D is different. They have run the most vanilla D's so far this pre-season, with last night's couple of third down blitzes being the first in three games. They also don't gameplan for pre-season games at all. They look at zero film and put zero effort into stopping specific aspects of the opponents offenses. What they use the pre-season for on D is player evaluations and making sure they're where they are supposed to be when they're supposed to be there. All said, this team could still be a playoff team in that didvision with an average QB and a gameplanning D, imo. Unfortunatley, the current back-up Qb is well below average. But trust me, I pray we never have to find out if I'm right or not. Vanilla/no game planning/whatever excuse you want - the NE pass D is in a world of hurt right now. Oh, and if things go upside down on them in the near future, don't think teams won't be remembering how NE treated them in such a professional manner on the field during the past season. What goes around comes around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Pat!!! Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 you really think they wanna put kevin o'connell on the practice squad? use a third round pick on a guy and have teams be able to sign him off our practice squad? Yeah, I forgot about that part, guess they'll have to keep 3 QBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What goes around comes around. You mean the Pats pass rush that was 2nd in the league with 47 sacks last year? The same pass rush that returns all the players that got sacks except Seau (as of now) and Colvin? That pass rush? Yeah, it's hurting. That just proves my point. The Pats get their pressure from schemes and blitzes, two things they are not doing in the pre-season. You just keep hoping the pass rush is in trouble.

I didn't know they were going to use last year's stats for this coming season. The secondary is 3/4 disassembled and the PHI WRs weren't exactly HoF caliber last night. McNabb tore the NE pass D apart. You'd better hope that Brady's injury isn't a lingering injury - with Belicek there's no way of making any kind of accurate guess as to how healthy/unhealthy he is. But if Brady isn't taking snaps, NE looks to be a whole lot weaker team. They can't use the O to protect the D.

They can't use the O to protect the D. mcnabb had all day to pick apart the pats secondary....because, as was bring back pats point, they didnt send any blitzes...i think they sent one....on the first or second series(cant remember) and bruschi easily got to mcnabb...not to mention they will have adalius on the outside full time now hopefully....he was an absolute beast when they were able to have him outside last year....thought he played his best game of the year in the superbowl....probably one of the more talented/deeper defensive lines in the league....teams better hope big sey cant stay healthy whens the last time tom brady didnt take a meaningful snap for the pats?

Bronco Billy Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 whens the last time tom brady didnt take a meaningful snap for the pats? That's a good point. But this team looks out of sync right now. They should be honing their game, and at times they look helpless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er, never mind, your link answered my question. O.k. Now I feel guilty for annoying you and Zooty so much. Here is a gift as a truce..........

ebartender Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 they added DL depth in Clemons, and Samuel to the CB positon which may have created the best secondary in football (certainly, one of the top 3). I see them very similar to SD this year. Both have stud RBs, both have very capable QBs, both have marginal talent at WR that is used effectively anyway, both have former Pro Bowl TEs, and both have Top 10 defenses. From what I am hearing on radio & TV, Clemons might get cut and McDougle might make the team. I disagree with your SD statement. Tomlinson & Gates are head & shoulders above Westbrook & LJ Smith. Although I think McNabb is still much better then Rivers, I can't put the Eagles up there with the Charges until I see some regular season games.

Although I think McNabb is still much better then Rivers, I can't put the Eagles up there with the Charges until I see some regular season games. I've heard the same "rumors", but I'll be shocked if Clemons gets cut...they handed him a $4M signing bonus in May to sign, and lengthened the contract to five years to make it work. It will have to be a truly ugly scenario for the Eagles to eat that cap-hit. I guess we can disagree on the SD comparison. I think they are very similar. I don't see LT being "head & shoulders" above Westbrook, though I do concede he is more-talented individually. Not sure he means more to his team than Westbrook, tough. Both Gates and Smith have great talent, but both have been injured in recent years. The still stand by the comparison I was trying to make that both teams have All-Pro rbs and former Pro-Bowl TEs. With the Eagles having the better QB of the two, and similar defenses, I still see them in the same ballpark potential-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me about the Eagles hardships while playing yard games likes bags, horseshoes, or washers. If an Eagle player is drafted the comments fly again. It's a blast!
