Yes sir. Ready for this season to start.
Well u r back just in time! Httr

I agree with that to an extent. They still need to get a significant amount of push up the middle, which was lacking last year. Orakpo and Kerrigan can do there job but if the quarterback just steps up because there was no pressure coming up the middle then no matter what your linebackers do the quarterback will pick apart the defense. I felt like there were times last year where the ball would be snapped and 5 seconds later all the DLinemen were almost relaxing at the original line of scrimmage.
I think it will be extremely difficult to play good defense if the Dline doesn't play better than they did last year. I'm sick of watching Big Ben and other quarterbacks look like they will never get hit in the pocket.Cofield and others didn't do that bad a job in the middle, IMO. I think if Orakpo stays healthy, he'll make our pass rush look much better this season, by the attention he'll draw from opponents.

- Earlier I mentioned Bringing in Seymour for depth, but as Matty pointed out, he wouldn't come here to play 4 games. I somehow blocked that out of my head earlier.

- I feel like --myself included--we are all acting like Jarvis is gone for the year. He's gone for 4 games. Eagles, Packers, Lions, Raiders. I see fast tempo, great passing offense, overrated team, and the crappy old raiders. I only see 2 games which we would definitely need Jarvis's pass rush, run defense. Its not like we're playing Denver, Atlanta, San Fran that stretch of games. We'll survive. Plus we got Orakpo back and I think Daryl Tapp and Brandon Jenkins are going to be great Pass Rushers for us in that stretch especially. Oh and we get Chris Neild back to push the pocket more. Again, we'll be fine.

- Our DL right now is:

LDE NT RDE
Chris Baker Barry Cofield Stephen Bowen
Kedric Golston Chris Neild Phillip Merling
Ron Brace

-DHall getting hurt is temporarily a good thing, because that means he can see more Biggers, Amerson, Crawford and Minnifield in the preseason going against #1, #2, and #3 WRs.

Anyone else a little worried about this report (from the WP's Mike Jones)?

● LeRibeus, who was drafted in the third round in 2012 to eventually anchor the interior of the line as a guard or center, has struggled quite a bit this camp. He missed all the offseason practices with injury, so is still working his way back into football shape, as Shanahan likes to say. But he has yet to appear to make strides forward. He has worked exclusively at left guard in practices, and no longer at center, as he did last training camp and in practices during the regular season until Lichtensteiger got hurt. Kevin Matthews seems to have replaced LeRibeus as Will Montgomery’s backup.

I confess I am disappointed. You'd like to see a 3rd round OL take steps to improve and contribute, but it sounds like he's regressing. I hope it is just that he's recovering from injury, and not that he's not going about his business like a professional and putting in the hard work. Our OL was remarkably healthy last year, and we cannot assume we'll have such good fortune this year, which means we need the non-starters to really step up so there's no massive drop off.

he was a 6th round pick taken in the 3rd round. i was scratching my head when they made that pick and won't be too shocked if he doesn't pan out.


it sucks, but not every pick is a winner.

I HATE DALLAS BUT THIS IS FUNNY LMAO

What an idiot. I think thats the same girl that got hit by the truck that crashed through her living room. The cops showed up and gave her a ticket, she asked why and they said cause your dumb a$$ should have been in the kitchen. Snyder should send her an Albert Haynesworth autographed turd. Imho.

Fred Davis not sore from Achilles tendon surgery - NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000223927/article/fred-davis-not-sore-from-achilles-tendon-surgery)

Reed Doughty quote from a Washington Times article on the Rookie DB's:

“We’ve added a lot of young guys over the years, but these guys are really talented,” he said. “They seem to be grasping the concepts really quickly. My job is just to help them out as quick as I can, and I think they’ll surprise some people.”

Now that's what I like to hear! I can hardly wait to see them play in the exhibition games.

I wonder if Reed could have coaching in his future?
