Not after we go there and steal a win. Every season there is a surprise win on opening day, why not be us?

Re: Post Indy Game Thoughts
I expect us to win that game against a team who's missing their best coaches and half their defense, a new guard, and different wideouts. Especially if sproles is hurt still.

Re: Post Indy Game Thoughts
Thought the win over Indy showed some real good things. RGIII has elite talent. We have a great competition going at WR. Morgan has already flashed some awesomeness and Hankerson seems to have great hands. The last two WRs to make the final cut should have great potential.
Morris...deserves his own paragraph. Ran against the first teamers behind a pretty underwhelming line and consistently gained ground. Hopefully next year between a fully recovered Hightower, Morris and healed up Helu as our change-of-pace threat we'll be a dominant rushing offense. And the defense is already solid as long as Fletcher is on the field. If the secondary can tighten things up it could be a special defense. ...definitely looking forward to the opener

Re: Post Indy Game Thoughts
Lot's of optimism around here. Indy is a bad football team people. They won 2 games last year. Anyone remember the Bears game? Their 1st team against ours?

Re: Post Indy Game Thoughts
Indy isn't the same team that went 2-14. Who knows if they're any better yet, but just saying it's not the same team at all.

I also read this morning that Santana Moss personally asked to be put on punt returns. He's slimmed down and is faster than the last couple of years and reportedly told the coaches "I'm here if Brandon Banks stubs a toe." I think Banks might be out despite his big return game last week. We have so many options. Austin saw a lot more action this week. I don't remember seeing Robinson. If I had to bet on the WRs, we're going with: Garcon Moss Hankerson Morgan Briscoe Robinson Kick and punt returns will be handled by any of: Robinson/Paul/Moss/Richard Crawford. Banks is still doing what he does on returns, but Coach Shanahan CLEARLY said he needs to produce as a WR to make the team. 2 catches, 7 yards in 3 games and he has had plenty of targets. Aldrick Robinson has 8 catches for 132 yards and a TD, including a 49-yard long. Banks and Robinson have identical 25.5 yard averages on kick returns. Briscoe has a team-leading 2 TD catches. Moss, Garcon, Paul, Morgan and Robinson all have 1. Side note...Alfred Morris is the man. He's our guy, with Hightower on passing downs until Helu comes back...I like that setup.

Cardinals, W 22-21 Rams, W 17-10 Bills, L 23-0 Dolphins, L 20-9 Seahawks, W 23-17 Vikings, L 33-26 See the reason for excitement now? Even our wins against the worst teams in the league, we couldn't take them by more than 7 points. I just re-watched that Cardinals win last week and it was a nail-biter.

o quick release o quick feet o escapability o long ball distance o touch o velocity to throw the deep sideline out o ability to go throw progressions o poise I felt Griffin was very closely (too) managed through preseason. They seemed very averse to letting him throw against tough coverages and they limited his pure drop back rhythm passing reps. I can't wait to see the shotgun/pistol read option elements of the offense. |

But, judging by all the off-season training camp reports there are going to be some read option elements added to the offense. I think removing Jammal Brown from the line-up is addition by subtraction. Not that Polumbus is a world beater just that he's slightly better then Brown. I think depth along the OL has improved. I think WR is the area we've improved the most outside of QB. A healthy Tana + Garcon imo is an improvement over an injured Moss and Gaffney. Briscoe and Morgan improve the depth and provide some bigger targets and whatever Hankerson can bring is a bonus. I think the running game has taken a step back due to injury. I think Helu was the most complete back on the roster and he might be out of action for awhile losing him was a huge loss. I like Royster too but he's also banged up with a knee. THT is coming off a knee. We enter the season with only 1 100% healthy RB. I agree that the offenses pieces haven't improved by much outside of QB. But, the improvement an elite QB prospect can provide is huge. |
