What do you think a rookie 6th round DE would be doing?

He'd be like a bullet out of a gun.
All over the QB of course.
What more would you expect from a 6th round pick?

I will make that conclusion right now by listening to the radio!
He sucks...bad

Who was that just getting iced up at the shoulder?

[skinsnut]

At this point, I am thinking they want to get an extended look at the conditioning of the Defense to see who can handle it.
They've got tough cuts at LB....That explains why they keep Palmer in...they know it is 3 and out every time.
Its all part of the Grand Plan!

[skinsnut]

They could use the film....remember....no 3rd string work in 2 weeks!

He would be fighting for a starting job on the Washington Redskins most likely, at the very least as a 2nd stringer. Why do I say this? Simple supply and demand, as well as the nature of the position. DE is probably easier to pick up than a QB going on to the pro level, plus the fact that we are in dire need of youth and the speed that comes with it(DE position). It is a higher probability that a 6th round DE could be better than Wynn than say a 6th round QB is better than JC or even MB for that matter.

I also base my statement on the fact that Gibbs waited til the last game to put him in. No way he could vie for a spot with only a half under his belt. Just drafting a guy for the practice squad is moronic, at least if a DE was drafted the kid had a much better chance of making the team and contributing on the field. How does Palmer help out on the practice squad? Gibbs needed to give the kid a taste week one to get him wet and give him time to get something going. I just think drafting a kid to go directly to the practice squad is a waste. A draftee should be able to vie for a starting job or at least give you some solid depth.

No depth in the DB is going to be our major Achilles heel.

Ok then, name a DE that was a 6th round pick or later this year that is slated to be a #2 backup in this league.

[Beemnseven]

They were taking a longggggggg look at Stoutmire tonight. He was playing really late into the game when backups to the scrubs were playing.

That could be telling.

[skinsnut]

Game over.
Thank Goodness!

At least our 1st and 2nd string offense could move the ball.
But I'm disappointed in Palmer.
Blades is ok, Mason is solid.
I dont know jack about our Dline though.
Too bad we'll never know how Collins would fare as a backup QB.
I was hoping to see Brandon Lloyd do something...anything.
Time is showing that he aint improving. ARE?....about the same as last year.

The only real difference is our LG issues, MLB improvement, Safety improvement, nickle improvement, and questions about Portis.
All in all....moderately better than last year, Defense probably ranked 10-15 this year. Offense about the same.
Playoffs would be nice...we'd have to avoid all injuries.

Brown, white easter, or hard-boiled?

I'll bring Brunell with me...he'll hold the basket!

Yeah. We should hunt him down and be like:

"Damn you Palmer for being a 6th round pick straight out of college and now we put you into the last pre-season game with almost zero practice and you suck? Consider yourself cut."

[GusFrerotte]

Blades is tearing it up!!!!!!!!! He was a diamond in the rough for sure!!!!!!!
