Goddamn, I'm hammered.
That being said, I don't feel all upset like I did the past couple of years in preseason where we didn't look like a professional football team.
I'm getting there though I didn't have a case finished by what.. 4pm?
that being said, having been more analytical than ever.. and having to send out updates.. I'm probably more bothered than ever

I missed a lot of the first half, how did LJ look?
terrible... 8carries 4 yards
It's pretty one sided tonight, but not catastrophically so....
The Ravens just outplayed us pretty much everywhere.
BUT on the bright side, we have the opportunity to improve more than than most teams as we have all new systems and many new guys to acclimate.

line did him no favors but Ladell Betts would've been 8 carries for 12 yards

Not at all but other inadequacies have shown their faces as well. We're facing several good teams.
I wouldn't sell the next draft as a WR honestly. I think that it will depend on draft position a lot. Put us around 20 and we're in position to land the top 1 or 2 WR. Depending on Brown's performance we're at a good position for a RT, if he checks out we'll wait till later for a new G if someone here now doesn't take it over, Hicks should be gone after this year.
I could see us going WR in the 2nd next year.
If we draft early, and they're still on the board, you have to start thinking QB.
yeah QB is always in the back of my mind with an older McNabb...I love the guy, but it'd be nice to find someone he could tutor...not likely we could grab Locker...but I woulnd't mind Andrew Luck from Stanford either.
I'm hoping Jonathan Baldwin from Pitt or Julio Jones from Bama could drop too....never know. I think the consensus is that AJ Green is going to go top 3, and rightfully so.

Wow, I guess I didn't miss much.
Sidenote, just heard on Twitter something about Todd Heap getting x-rays, did he go down with injury?

How so? Their starters absolutely did not. They had almost no pass rush even though they obviously had a game plan and kind of seemed like they "cared" enough to win. I'm not worried.

it's a need, if not this year, then next
I honestly don't know that we'll see a big improvement.. we'll see one.. but how much of a diff will it make?
4 wins to 6? to 8?
is 8-8 worth it?
I give it 2 years
