I won't bust on you with a "some fan you are" statement.
Instead I will point out that predictions are foolhardy when the draft hasn't even happened yet.
All you need to know about my crew's feelings about our team...we've all lost hope (http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=8&topic_id=1104533&mesg_id=1104533&page=)
confession: pops got me and lil brother Ravens tickets for X-Mas, went to that, had a great time, didn't watch a single snap of Skins/Niners
observation: watching the Ravens was a bizarre experience, seeing as it's been ages since I've seen a disciplined, tough, focused NFL team in my back yard. Seemingly everything the Redskins do/have done wrong, the Ravens did the oppostie. It's a brutally frustrating situation.
My thoughts?
I'll start with a powder keg explosion:
- trade Portis while he's still got some value. You all love how he's a "gamer." Well dude ain't durable either, after about week 11 he was worthless. "But Tiger he's small and he plays his little heart out!" miss me with that. We're 8-8 he didn't make us any better or worse, so ship him off while we can still get a pick or two for him.
other thoughts:
- trade Santana and Randle El too while you're at it, also for picks. Santana is of little value to us anymore and Randle El is Randle El.
- Commit to building a strong O-Line for the long term. This is the number one priority in my opinion.
- Let Jason Taylor walk, or trade him to the Patriots. he's up their alley, see Junior Seau.
- pursue an offensive LEADER in the draft, someone who can rally the troops, cause Campbell clearly isn't doing that.
- when it comes to Campbell........sigh........I don't know. He deserves probably about four more games. If he STILL looks like a bamma after first quarter, commit to developing the kid.
-think about drafting linebackers. Fletcher, as great as he is, can't play forever, and the rest of the LB corps are pretty much bammas.
- look, with the arguable exception of Cooley, we don't have a single dynamic play maker on offense. I don't know how you fix that problem, without spending a load or with a lack of draft picks, but a little explosion would help.
the harsh reality:
Until Danny Snyder hires football people who can honestly and eagerly evaluate football talent, this team will be what it's been for the last half of a decade, average-to-bad. I heard on 980 in the post game that the last two years, the Giants have had 8 rookies make their roster in both seasons. E-I-G-H-T. That's 16 new players in the last 24 months on a 53 man roster. But hey, at least we got see Adam Archuleta play! Simply put, if this team ever wants to develop a feasible blueprint for longterm success any time soon, Vinny Cerrato MUST go and be replaced by a patient person with a vast knowledge of professional football.
again, just my thoughts (c) hov, reply as you wish.
god, I don't know if I've ever been this burnt on them, **** this team.
hail.
