My take on this is that its a complete no brainer. We get a 2nd rd pick, 6th rd pick, and a project/developmental QB for a 4th rd pick. We were never going to spend our cap space on franchise changing…[Read more]

I did NOT watch past the first half…beyond the 1st and 2nd stringers at that point.

1. I am NOT worried about our run defense. Shelton looked very good which just adds to, what I believe, was an under-performing line last year. Over-aggressive LBs is the biggest risk and I’d be alright with an overly…[Read more]

I’ve heard the defense didn’t look great, the RBs were worse. The WRs and QBs were ok and that rookie TE looks pretty good.

But, as we all know, we have to be very careful when we evaluate these pre-season games. Key goals should be: being injury free, watching how well they…[Read more]

We are definitely NOT loaded at either QB or WR. The offense needs playmakers. Pryor’s athleticism and knowledge as a QB can be used by a creative OC to make plays. Kordell Stewart is the obvious comparison.

Bottomline is that we do not have enough spark in our offense…not enough to force a defense into thinking…[Read more]
