The Offense Was Lousy, But the Defense...

You should refer back to my "high expectations" thread.... This is what I was talking about... All teams need time to grow and gel, some of us here expect the BEST all of the time and that is just not reality.

I have nothing but good things to say about this team's college scouting department compared to the rest of the leagues' (generally awful). It's the pro scouting department on this team that puts this franchise in such a big hole.

Who's the solid back up QB? I thought we had Brunell.

Well they been growing and gelling for 4 years now.

I just don't see a big time line in front of Campbell, Jansen is getting beat in pre-season, and he was beat quite a bit last season as well, Samuels will sure up the tackle position, which brings us to Wade who is a big question mark, this line is adequet at best IMO, regardless of how much they gel.
