Well, it sounds to me like he is too optomistic.
Frankly, I share his optimism but we are a long ways out from week 1, week 10 or week 16.
There can be expected to be a few injuries along the way.
For him to so nonchalantly act as if we won't be set back by loosing Asante is a little too much...
This is the best thread going on now on the site IMO.
With the depth we appear to have on Defense it seems exciting.
We need to expect probably 2 guys get IRed prior to week 1.
Probably andrews saying goodbye.
Probably 1 or so guys traded away for conditional 2009 picks.
But the depth looks...
1) We were very good on Defense last year
2) These guys are fast and Smart leaders and top performers among thier piers
3) They are young and have the potential to be probowlers
4) Crable may become a Tulla Banta Cain situational guy but potentially could be an elephant like Mcginest with...
Even though that could be good-excellent value (eventually) Obviously the FO did'nt see the value in passing up on Mayo a likely contributer and potential future All Pro. For moving back 30 spots we needed more.
I strongly agree with almost all of the sentiments here.
Just adding to the concurrence...
I believe Media reported strong interest at both possibly 13th and the 15th pick of drafting Mayo.
I know its apples and oranges but in his last year at Ohio State,
Mayo had 140 Tackles or so and quite...
I was bored so I asked myself this question....
Who is the better performer:

Basically GOST HIT...
A couple years ago we traded away 4 Just Another Guys for low conditional picks the following year.
Possibly we could have a spare QB, DBs and LBs which could net a conditional pick in 2009.
Hey Jeff, try not to take it so personal.
A football forum attracks more Neanderthals than Philosophers.
Some of these goons even pride themselves on thier ability to slap down other fans...
But maybe they do have some points.
Maybe like me (in the past) they made some poor evaluations, only...
Hey with our Reputation as demolishing trade partners,
Teams played hardball with us.
We tried to trade out of Pick 10, but got no suitable offers
The first 3rd rounder (which I believe was a 4th last year) netted us less than a optimum price, but we still clearly gained value.
I see...

In years past, I had a similar kneejerk reaction to you.
I hated MANY of the front office moves.
But hey, since 2001 we have had 12.5 wins a year.
We set records Galore.
And if not for our defense last year we would have been perfect.
This offseason we took a big step back...
