But he'll never get in as WR and if he's going to play offense, putting him out there as a "hitman" would be fun to watch.

yeah, its too bad they frown on offensive tackling. Otherwise, he chumps the #1 CB out of the game and that lets moss go on a rampage.

Buster I can sit and watch that clip all day long. I think that's during the replay when John Madden said, ... "and Sean Taylor the safety comes up and just unloads on him."

Now if you can convince me that that wasn't a fumble I'd believe Tom Brady didn't fumble against Oakland.

That was DEFINATELY a fumble, he caught it then turned and ran at least 2-3 steps before getting hammered.

Maybe the refs thought it was his head.

awesome clip ! We need our O-Linemen to hit some Lb's like that , if we stay healthy on the OL , pound the ball , play action ,,,,,,,, sounds good !!!!

Our offensive line play last year has me boosted. Derrick Dockery started to get his game up and with the O-line having another year TOGETHER, let me repeat this TOGETHER, also help my optimism. We are returning mostly our CORE positions. Not skill but CORE. Everyone used to talk about how the Skins recycled players each year but our core (i.e. O-line, quarterback) are the same. There is alot more continuity with our organization then their has been in the past 10 years or so. I try to hold my confidence back but I really feel that we have a strong chance of making if not winning the ,.... I can
t say it because I don't want to jinx it. You guys know what I mean though.


HAIL !

MOTHER FUCKIN HAIL !!!!!!

Personally, I think we'll see Sean Taylor in the lineup at offense. One thing we didn't get with Randel El, and don't have with Patten or Moss (kinda) is a leaper. Lloyd can really go up, but if we put Sean Taylor in it seems like teams were doubling him up in the Red Zone. That opens a lot of people up. I'd like to see him catch a couple balls though!

As far as earlier on Brunell not having a job to do. I don't buy that one bit. His timing and balls better be pretty to use these receivers to their full potential. If hes putting a lot of balls behind them or delivering too slow it's not good. This teams success rests squarely on whoever is under center, in my opinion.

Taylor can leap to catch the ball...or leap over the line on a goalline run.

We know he can take the hits on a play like that...

Portis will probably catch more balls this year. I can Saunders sending all the receivers deep and letting Ports work his magic against LBs. I wouldn't be surprised if he catches 50+ balls this year.
