Playoffs coming up. Obviously,I couldn't be more thrilled with this team. Brady, Moss, Vrabel and others have had special seasons.

But the playoffs are one and out and some players need to step up IMO, because playing to their potential might make the difference some game.

Ben Watson: This guy's built like a Greek god. He often looks like one on the field too. He stands like a statue leaving us to imagine the tremendous speed and power he's supposed to have.

Let's step it up, Ben. The potential train is leaving the station, it's put up time.

Eugene Wilson: This guy has all the talent in the world. Remember he was going to be a consensus All Pro in no time? Meanwhile the leaves of the calendar have peeled off like in a B movie.

Eugene just finished his fifth full season? Is that possible? Nobody's talking about All Pro anymore, that's for sure. Four seasons of sleep walking and injured lists.

Slap some cold water on your face Eugene. If you can't get excited about a contract year and a perfect season.....

Sure your an adequate safety who can cover. The "all the talent in the world train" is leaving too.

And to both guys, this is the playoffs, if you're breathing, your not injured so we don't have to guess every week, like we've had to so far. You're either on the Super bowl train or not.

I've got more happy holiday wishes, but i'll break it up.

Watson definitely is irritating. It's almost like he is so damn talented and strong and fast that he has trouble putting it all together. Kinda reminds me of the real tall kid that was too uncoordinated to play basketball.

Watson has definitely made some awesome catches, great blocks, and great hustle plays.

but then sometimes he drops easy balls or just runs out of bounds and has trouble controlling his body. Ben seems to make all catches appear 10 times harder than they are, kinda like the opposite of Moss.

I like Watson but i get nervous when he plays and it's frustrating to watch him at times.

Hey Keegs, Happy Holidays. I've enjoyed your posts lately, some funny stuff.

I'm not trying to be negative, just the opposite. No bashing, especially rookies and players coming off serious injuries.

This is when it counts and these are two talented guys that could really make a difference. Everybody here has played sports, I'm sure. sometimes you just don't get into the rhythm even in a great season.

It's just time to step up. Would be great to see talented players like that catch fire. It happens in big games sometimes.

I am so happy I'm ecstatic. Hoping a couple very talented players find a rhythm for the playoffs is a positive vibe.

Feel the warmth.

Laurence Maroney and the offensive line:

These guys are hustling, these guys are trying. The O Line looks like world beaters one game and a little rough the next.

If we could stop almost handing off to opposition linebackers (LOL!) I think we'd have a hell of a running game. Well deserved rest, then let's get some pass and run blocking down for the playoffs.

The Defensive Line:

"The Defensive Line?" *the crowd gasps*

Of course the DLine gets A's on a regular basis. They should, they're the creme de la creme, the best IMO.

A's aren't good enough for the playoffs. I want all A+'s. I want to see offensive linemen dragging themselves off the field after a series, looking for their mommy. Crush, Kill, Destroy.

And no Three Stooges moves, Vince.

It Watson was Watson's first game back from an injury so I would give him a pass. He was on fire in the beginning of the season when he had a full set of practices under his belt.

Wilson, well he's a FA so I'm not complaining if he has a bad year especially with our safety depth. He should be cheaper to resign.

Watson was hot at the beginning of the season. I hope he's healthy. I never like to criticize an injured player, but some are on and off the list so much, I can't remember what injury they have.

Do you know?

I really don't care about next year. I was hoping they might try Wilson at corner and i can't imagine he'll cost much , but...

I would like to see a little enthusiasm from him. If he can't get a little pumped and jacked, I don't know why they would want to sign him.

I think they go corner high in this draft anyway, though I don't know college personnel.

It just seems more likely than linebacker.

Adalius Thomas:

OK, the inside linebacker experiment is on hold for a while. Bru and Seau are going to suck up that two weeks off and come back with a vegeance.

School's out for summer. You know how to rush from the OLB position, let's see some of the madness. I think Thomas and Vrabel can be better than Colvin and Vrabel, but we haven't seen it so far.

Further instruction in the D can wait for training camp.

Don't see any threads about what we need to do for the playoffs, so I'll give this a bump.

Just my opinion on who has the potential to "step up" for the big games.
