Anyone worried???

please please bench gardner... we've got 3 guys more than willing to take his place and hold onto the damned ball ;)

yeah man, Gardner. he's had more than enough chances. put him down.

also, in spite of his first week performance (due to Williams), dont you think Lott could be more effective at Bowen's position along with Taylor??

but bowen started to finally nail guys in the DIFFERENT color jerseys, though he still blows chunks in pass coverage... its soo bad.

we've got a bigger, faster hitter in Taylor. we need speed and coverage back there, else we can't terrorize the qb with the blitzes

I am a little worried, yes. If I were the roids, I'd line up the tightend AWAY from Warner (making that the weakside), pull the fullback, and run at Warner and Marshall. They are both undersized, and a power game should be able to pressure them. This is a big reason why it's important for us to dictate tempo on offense and get ahead in this game. It'll keep them from runingn over the weakened area of the D.

But I'm sure Coach Williams knows all this and more. Ultimately, I have faith that he'll have this group of guys ready to kick ass.

As to Gardner's critics - did anyone see that 50-yarder he caught where he really had to lay out to get it....sick. I know he drops some easy ones, but he also makes some amazing catches (hence his nickname 50-50).

Gibbs obviously thinks enough of Gardner to start him ahead of James Thrash, Taylor Jacobs, and Darnerien McCants.

how we all turn on bowen afer his awesome first game...

I haven't liked Bowen that much since he doesn't play well in coverage. But, I too am surprised at how Bowen's supporters seem quiet or even critical of him.

Yeah, also, with all the talk of E George, don't discount the rookie RB Lee that they have in there now since Jones is out. That (him coming out of nowhere with a big game) would be the typical kind of scenario that could bite us in the ass. But with that said, I have complete confidence that Williams will account for everything so the D will "just stop 'em!"

its not turning on him, we all know (i think), bowen sucks at coverage... he's a run D/blitzing guy, not a CB...
