How will we survive without Smooty??

[Ade Jimoh Fan Club]

I'll tell you how....

Smoot's departure will now open the door for the arrival of "THE ADE" as the starting CB opposite Springroll. THE ADE has been patiently biding his time on the special teams squad - and now his opportunity is here! I'm calling it - today - THE ADE will be large and in-charge this season....

Barrow will be healthy this year and be the MLB we expected him to be last year - Pierce, although a consensus great fill-in last year, will not be missed.

Rod "drop it like it's hot" Gardner will be traded away for a 2nd rounder. We'll grab Mike Williams with the #9, and pick up a DE like Marcus Spears with the second rounder. Not too bad.

I think the offense will be dramatically improved with the new (healthly) o-line. I think Patton will be the 4th best WR on our team, just like he was with the Pats -but I welcome him nonetheless.

I like Ramsey, but he better not screw up this season. He's well beyond the "learning years" - he needs to perform!!
