What I said before the draft. One of them would be there at #16. I would draft Patterson before Tavon. I liked them both. Nothing has changed for me.

Yes, yes and yes.

I didn’t like the trade up then and I don’t like it now. Could have had Patterson and kept the draft pick.

At this point with those injuries, I think we’d be lucky to win 2 games. The over and under is probably set at 1.

More high pics next year.

If we can go relatively injury free at some point in the next couple of years and get even average QB play, we are going to be really good at some point.

From where I was sitting in the stands on Monday night, he looked like a #1 running back. Strong to the hole, good lateral movement, powerful and quick. Good running when he got the ball.

Warner made an observation—if anyone knows what a QB is doing and not doing it is him. He didn’t bash Davis, but he said Davis does some things well, but doesn’t handle pressure well. The late pick 6 a perfect example of that. They need to practice more on teams blitzing and reading it and how to beat it. It will continue until we beat it routinely.

I noticed that in the Niners game that I attended. Davis simply doesn’t look comfortable in the pocket. He’s excited. If the play is on time and the receiver comes open, he can make the throw. But otherwise he just gets a little excited resulting in a pass thrown too soon or errant. He does look good on rollouts and when he is able to evade the initial rush, start rolling then make an attempt.

Too early to tell on the deeper throws, but I didn’t have any wow moments.

Mariotta is also the consumate team player, a student of the game and, based on reporters quotes of the coaches, the kind of person who the coaches wish would date their daughters. Not exactly Vick in some important aspects.

He doesn’t get rattled. I think he’d do well in any offense. He will need some extra time to adjust to playing under center. He is also not as quick as Vick (escapability) although his straight line speed is pretty fast.

I think it is possible there will be 4-5 QBs worth taking in the 1st round next year. They won’t all go in the top 15.

What would it take to pry Cousins from the Skins? 🙂

Fuck!!!

That bites big time.

Damnit!

7-9 here we come.

crap, shit, piss, fuck, damn.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I sat on the Egyptian/Israeli border, half the time on a base camp and half the time on two different outposts, for 6 months in 1988 waiting for the stars and stripes edition that provided 3-4 lines of print about each game so I could feed, even that tiniest bit, my craving for Rams information.

I also think it is CB.

I hope it isn’t WR next year. That would really be nice.

If he’s healthy, I think it has to be Bradford.

Others may also “break out”, but Bradford will get all the headlines and the big paycheck.

If Bradford doesn’t break out, I don’t believe anyone else on the offense will have a breakout year.

I think a reasonably healthy season on the offensive and defensive lines will get us to 10 wins. Given at least average health, Dline should be top 5…at least. Oline should be top 10…at least.

I don’t even care about Bradford’s health as we have a capable backup this year.

The two lines could both be very dominant. That is a recipe for success. Plus, they possess a lot of talent across the team going into their 2nd and 3rd years. It’s still a young team so I project some improvement from that young talent.

I think 10 wins is probable.

Nope, I’d play the season out. I expect 10 wins this year.

ZN, Where do I go to do things lie change my password to something I can remember instead of the computer generated automatic one that was emailed to me?

I’ve searched and can’t find a link, button, whatever…

Thank you

Lost and all alone I sat on the edge of the abyss staring into nothingness while images of pink elephants on parade shifted through my mind in a kaliedescopic shifting of blurred visions moving in a morass of emptiness slowly sucking the last vestiges of hope tightly gripping the edges of my soul wishing desperately for some small chance of reuniting with all of you. Then, an email, a glimmer in the darkness and a trail of joyous wonderment that nourished my heart and soul and brought me here.

Anyway, glad we have a new home. 🙂
