Yardage doesn't matter...
--Brady is going to throw for 7,700 yards and 59 TD's, didn't you hear?
--Many of the 'other' NFL teams are doing it too, it's a different NFL all of a sudden. A new day dawned in the NFL when the full moon rose this month. It's all about the offense now. Didn't you see the Sunday and Monday night games? All about the offense. Vegas will be setting game totals at 75+ within the next 2 weeks.
--Teams have now begun studying film on McCourty, something that they apparently just started doing as of now. Last year they just ignored their film, and went out and guessed. At least McCourty is 'in position' with his receiver.
--The safeties will be just fine. Barrett and Brown are much better choices that Sanders and Meriweather. One lost a step, and the other took bad angles when tackling. Neither were tradeable players. They weren't worth anything, and will both likely be selling insurance next week.
--Chung hits hard. That's all that matters. Hitting hard. Coverage be damned. He hits guys hard. That's what's important.
--The LB's are fine too. Cunningham just needs time. Spikes is a 'thumper.'
--No one fits the system here. It is much too complicated. Hell, even Aristotle wouldn't be able to figure it out. Guys like Matthews, Kerrigan, and JJ Watt would never fit here, nor will they ever become good players. Guys like that couldn't even spell "system."
--Ochocinco didn't have the time to learn the system that other guys in the past have had. He will pass Welker, Gronk, Hernandez, Branch, and Woodhead as the #1 target and catch 100 balls. Just give it time. There's no reason to believe he's holding the offense back. He's making progress. And he didn't drop balls all of training camp either, that was a nasty rumor started by Marv Lewis.
And finally....
--We're going to be running the ball a lot this year, so it won't matter anyway.
