This franchise is like Alice in Wonderland: jam yesterday (well, in the 80s) and jam tomorrow (next year), but never jam today. Honestly, it does feel like we're cursed.

I am sure he will think highly of the franchise for stepping up to sign him amid controversy -- he's said as much. But unless either Murphy or Smith show more than they've shown so far this preseason and in TC, then it seems clear that our D just took a big hit.

I have faith Preston Smith will shine, it will take him a few games before he figures it out.

I thought he looked good in preseason. I think we can survive with the Murphy/Smith combo. I just don't think the D will be as disruptive as we envisioned.

I also want to see more of Houston Bates (3 sacks in 2 games). Is he a flash in the pan? The injury might also land Jeffcoat a roster spot.

I think he could have a Ryan Kerrigan like rookie season. 6-8 sacks a couple forced fumbles

Hopefully he can become a pass rushing ace, and not a flash in the pan.

Who knows if he'll be here next year, but looks like he got a two game suspension which apparently can be served while he's on IR:

Galette will probably be here next year, as he will likely be cheap again. Only way he's not here if they don't think he's worth the trouble. Still for the money he's being paid, I wouldn't mind seeing him again in the lineup.

I think this year's defense would have been much different if he is playing.
