I get really mad about it because I'm a UMD fan and Merriman was my favorite player on the team his last 2 years there. Oh well, all we have left are our dreams.
my dreams have been replaced by nightmares of becoming what the Lions have been for the last 4 years and what the Raiders will be for the next 4....

They need to get fired.
The person that said "Ryan Clark is a bum, Lets bring in Archuleta" needs to get fired. Archuleta missed the block on the fake punt to go along with several missed tackles.
Carters one sack looks pretty good but he didnt get any pressure. Most good Dlinemen get pressure...
McIntosh needs to play. There is no point in giving away picks to move up in the draft to get a guy who isnt going to play.
Duckett...
I'm not going to blame Lloyd or ARE because we dont have a passing game. We just use screen passes.
Wright and Rumph are aweful. They shouldn't be in the league.
Rogers does not play like a top ten NFL pick. In my book, top ten picks should be probowlers.
Daniels and Wynn dont do anything. Seriously, They dont do anything.
Why draft Nemo a few years ago when we have Rock? Why trade for duckett when we have Sellers? Why use a top ten pick on Rogers when you can just resign Smoot(no matter what anyone says, He's better than Rogers...). Why Trade up for McIntosh if he isn't going to play? Wasted picks...
Someone needs to own up to these mistakes.
Trade Deadline: Season is over, We still have duckett, Its time to trade betts. He won't be back. We dont need him for the playoff push. Trade him to a team that needs a decent RB.
First of all... I think we're playing who the coaches think is the best linebacker. This coaching staff drafted Rocky, and I'm sure if he was better... they would be playing him. He obviously is taking longer to develop (that one you can blame on the coaches) but as far as playing him... I don't think anyone deserves playing time based on there draft status.
Secondly, Wright and Rumph are two back-ups that are progressing. Our Coaching staffs biggest gaffe this offseason was corner depth and everyone knew it. We all were screaming for corner depth, and no-one seemed to care.
Rumph has shown promise, and given some time I think he'll be a pretty good back-up. Remember we traded Taylor Jacobs for him, and I'm pretty sure we got the better end of that deal.
The season is arguably salvagable given the history of this teams Character. When times get rough, we turn to our playmakers and let them take over. It's time to play smash mouth football so teams are faithful to the run. Once they commit, then throw a reverse in here, a flee flicker there. The most important thing about running the ball is that it eats up clock... and when the clock is ticking and the chains are moving... it takes pressure off our D and then we will win football games.
