That's a great point. This is a great opportunity for McGowan to play on a good team. I know he's been injured and missed some time w/ other teams but I'm glad we have him at that position and the guy plays with passion.

He has been very effective on teams TE's.

AD will pick it up. We all know where he plays best and we'll start seeing different stuff from the defense. We have a few players on the Oline and Dline that may get more time.

"Practice execution equals reality"-BB

I think we'll be pretty good for the playoffs and AD will make some big plays to get us there..

Woods has been pretty bad in the limited play he's had this year. I don't want to read into that because I think it's hard to come in on situational downs for a lot of players and be asked to make an impact. You have to be able to get some kind of rhythm or feel for the game. On the other hand, Butler seems to be able to do it whenever he's called upon.

I have high hopes for Woods. I really wish he would man up and do something when he's given the opportunity.

I'm like many in wishing Thomas would get to blitz more,
rush the QB more ... but Bill doesn't use him that way.
What are you talking about "when they get that far?" McGowan is picking up the TE at or near the line of scrimmage. Even Meriweather, when not blitzing, is walking up to the line and picking up the TE. The better TE's are not being allowed to get down field uncovered.

Post of the year

I remember that infamous playoff game...

I actually like listening to Zo on 98.5 mainly because I can't get EEI AM and can get FM, but it was clear on the radio yesterday that Zo was doing what all talk hosts do, advocating a controversial view on a topic and stimulating calls.

Thomas is at his best when he's blitzing, he led the team at one point last season in sacks and even then only finished second after missing games with a broken arm.

Adalius Thomas made the Pro Bowl one year. Afterwards, he was the
top rated free agernt. He then signed with the Patriots at a slight
discount. He has not been as good with the Patriots as with the
Ravens.

Thomas was one of the few vocal critics of the Seymour trade. Most
of the other players were disappointed but accepted the trade as NFL
business. Maybe the trade has affected his psyche,

Baltimore is desperate for a linebacker. The Pats might trade Thomas to
the Ravens for a #2 draft pick in 2011 and Prescott Burgess.

That's the thing that has always rubbed me the wrong way about Zo, he's willingness to make an ass of himself to sell whatever show they're willing to let him be on. Being paired with Gresh out of the gate and surviving to become a multi mediot just proved what "Zo knows" is how to pander for whichever demographic he thinks will keep him employed. Those two could pen a bestseller about how to parlay a lackluster college or pro football career into a lucrative sports media career virtually absent access or insight.

Fire up iTunes, select radio > sports and it's like the fifth one down. Clear as a bell and you get to hear the most brilliant commercials ever sent into space.
