    It's probably very telling that Irvin was my 2nd favorite players growing up, just behind Alvin Harper (who I recently learned actually intercepted a Tommy Maddox pass in 1992).

    I'm ok with the mag cover (good article articulating some issues with it here: http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/daily-t ... sand-words). it's much better than him stabbing a teammate in the neck with scissors, sexually harassing a female employee, getting caught with drugs, and any number of other things he did to screw up in the past.

    i agree. gotta give him credit for the article...i'd have gone a different direction with that cover photo though. :mrgreen:

    Is Doug Free actually good? I think the plan with OLs in normal seasons should be just to get a bunch of young guys and let them gel in the offseason and get rolling by the season's second half, then keep them cheap 3-4 years, watch them all go and repeat. The Ravens have been doing something like that for awhile, and it seems to be working for them.

    Yes, he is good. Watch him more closely once the season opens up. He is pretty solid.

    I'm happy we re-signed Kosier as well. Now let's go out and get Jenkins and a good S and we are set!

    Free is worth it and I am very happy with them keeping Kosier. It is noticeable when Kosier isn't in the game.

    I don't know about this season. We have all had our expectations built up over the years only to be disappointed. But this year feels like a rebuilding year to me. They just lost two starters on the OL. Gurode is starting off on the PUP list. The starting receivers are Ausin and Dez Bryant. I love Austin, but can he be the #1 guy? I always thought he benefited from being overlooked by the defense.

    They have big issues at RB. Can Felix Jones go back to what he was in 2009? Can he carry the load as the starting RB?

    And then there is the defense. The defense was such a problem last year and I see pretty much the same crew out there this year.

    The big difference is that we don't have the cupcake running the D this year! That is an improvement in itself, lol.

    True. And I think Rex will make a HUGE difference. But my main gripe is that they don't have any impact players other than Ware and maybe Ratliff. If you took Butler, Olshansky, Brooking, Bradie James, Newman (at this point), Church, etc. and replaced them all with guys off the street would we notice a big difference? James goes through streaks where you never hear his name called.

    this team blows....let's just get randy moss so things get interesting then. Also when do we finally get to cut Witten? I will put a countdown on my computer waiting for him to not be on our team.

    how bout bringing in ronnie brown if he isn't already signed?


    i feel this team will go 11-4 and go deep into the playoffs
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    For the record I do think Free is good I just think that it's crazy how a guy can come in and be a last second injury replacement then turn into a stud that we can't give away. I feel like guys like that on the OL are a dime a dozen.

    That's just silly talk right there. 94 rec, 1000 yards receiving, arguably coming off his best season. Not to mention, he's a warrior(see pic below) and plays hard ALL the time.

    And you want a head case at WR? Didn't we go through that scenario a few years ago?

    moss for the fun not for the teammate....witten is the unspoken reason we lost two playoff games because he couldn't fall forward and couldn't get out of bounds. it's irrational i know but i haven't forgiven him for that. and the helmet thing and being tough is so lame - sorry it is.

    Can he play more than 10 games is one of my big worries going into this season.
