in order to get respect in this league we have to win games plain and simple. jason campbell looking good in practice isnt going to convince anylists... ever.

i dont mind that they predict us to do so bad every year, i just wish that they werent always right.

Unfortunately you are right on with that one. The MSM shows no love for the Skins, but for the most part they are dead on, so until proven otherwise I don't see why we even bother bitching at all. Just cheer the Skins on and hope they stay healthy and surprise folks. We can be a very solid football team or just average. The defense alone isn't going to win games for us. Our D all around in 2005 was solid, this season we have no depth in the DB at all. If one guy goes down we might be screwed.

Amen guys. But if there is a position we are deep at, it is DB. I think you meant to say D-line.

I don't think we are all that deep at DB from what I had seen during the preseason. I am focusing on our CBs for the most part. WE have 3 really good CB's, but the best of the lot(Springs) is injury prone, Smoot is not the stud we drafted several years ago(sucked at Minnesota for the most part), and Rogers is improving steadily but still can get beat. Losing Springs for a few weeks is likely, but what if Smoot or Rogers sprains an ankle during the same time frame? We are screwed. DL is not much of a concern for me. It has been so bad for so long that you just have to live with the fact that it sucks.
